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

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

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

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?

How AI and robotics are defining the future of manufacturing

How AI and robotics are defining the future of manufacturing

The growth opportunities for artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics in manufacturing are vast and projected to reach $182 billion globally by 2027. Companies that fail to adopt these exponentially advancing technologies as part of their processes risk falling behind, as smart factories powered by intelligent machines become the norm.

Unlock next-level productivity using cobots

Unlock next-level productivity using cobots

Collaborative robots are fast becoming the benchmark in industrial automation, thanks to their ability to deliver higher productivity while working safely alongside human workers. Collaborative robots, a.k.a. cobots, are compact and lightweight, making them easy to deploy as requirements grow and change. Julian Ware, UK & Ireland Sales Manager for ABB Robotics, explains.
