 The rise of modular robots and the importance of drive train design

The rise of modular robots and the importance of drive train design

02/07/2024

For lightweight robots, modular designs are increasingly popular, thanks to the flexibility they offer to specialised tasks. Modular robots are also enhancing the potential for system integrators and end users to develop their own designs. As part of an in-house robot build, optimising the drive train that powers and controls each joint is vital to the robot’s performance.

Innovating beyond age: How AI could aid an ageing workforce

Innovating beyond age: How AI could aid an ageing workforce

02/07/2024

A recent report by The Royal Society of Motorists revealed that 75 percent of manufacturers are worried about an ageing workforce. This concern extends beyond the automotive sector, affecting field services across various manufacturing disciplines where the workforce is nearing retirement. This trend signifies a looming loss of valuable expertise and knowledge. Could generative AI be the solution?
