Robotics

Volume 6

Industrial Robotics were introduced to the world in 1954 by George Devol. The first robot, a Unimate, to ever be installed on a manufacturing floor came in 1962 when General Motors introduced them to their plant in New Jersey. Since then, robotics has continued to evolve in their role in manufacturing. Today, Industrial Robotics are utilized in everything from palletizing packages to welding, to pharmaceuticals and everything in between. The introduction of collaborative robots or cobots has created a working environment where humans and robots are able to work alongside one another to accomplish the workload. These robots are able to work in hazardous locations, move heavy loads, and handle tedious tasks allowing their human counterparts to work on more challenging tasks and problem solving. Robots have made their presence on the factory floor a necessity. In this magazine, we will cover safety around robotic cells, the application of sensor fusion in AMRs, the different robot configurations possible, and much more.
