Research by the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) into the world robotics market raises interesting questions about their use in the UK. In the table of production robots, density per 10,000 workers by country,…
The pace of development in small production robots is accelerating as new functionality simplifies both integration and operation. The most significant of these is the embedding of artificial intelligence in robotics systems like Smart…
AI robot maintenance may help address UK Government concerns that the UK has too few industrial robots. According to a recent Government report the UK has too few robots in relation to the…
To slice delicate foods on a production line brings many challenges: to achieve this on the fly brings even more. Working with Mitsubishi Electric, a mechanical handling company in the based in the…
Across the world we are spending billions of dollars a year developing technology for self-driving or autonomous cars. The attractions of fully automatic vehicles are clear. Most road accidents (maybe as high as 90%)…
The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in our daily lives has grown over the last few years. For the most part we do not notice or consider that AI is behind it. Whether people…
Automation lends itself to the manufacture of mass produced disposable medical devices and the bulk processing of samples. The main reasons for this are speed and repeatability, and removing contamination risks in a clean…
The growing use of robots in manufacturing is understandable. They offer incomparable combinations of speed, strength and agility. However they have no intellect and only operate in tightly choreographed ways programmed for them. Sick…
The Gläserne Manufaktur (Transparent Factory) is a Volkswagen manufacturing location in Dresden. One of its roles is proving new systems before rolling them out to production sites. One recent trial involved…
A project at the Centre for Fine Print Research (CFPR) is looking into a new approach to 3D printing. The emphasis is on stretching 3D printing by meaningful expression, not simple accurate piece-part reproduction…
Like many other industries, the packaging sector constantly adapts to market requirements. Factors affecting packaging automation include new regulations, skills shortages and digital transformation. Innovative companies are turning these challenges into opportunities through new…
New generations of collaborative robots (cobots) are changing the face of manufacturing in the UK. From a low starting point, in 2016 the UK increased robot installations for the first time in four years….
