🤯 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸 𝗢𝘂𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗖𝗿𝗮𝘇𝘆 𝗘𝗻𝗱-𝗼𝗳-𝗔𝗿𝗺 𝗧𝗼𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴❗ Ever seen such an impressive end-of-arm tool? Quite cool but this 7-axis setup might seem overengineered, and here's why. 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐈𝐭 𝐌𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐁𝐞 𝐎𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝: 🔹 𝐒𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐓𝐚𝐬𝐤: The primary task involves lifting and moving horizontally—a 2 DoF problem. 🔹 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐱 𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: A 6-axis robot with an added 7th axis introduces more complexity than necessary. 🔹 𝐀𝐥𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐎𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: A 4-axis palletizing robot could handle the task efficiently. 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐈𝐭 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐁𝐞 𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐝: ✅ 𝐄𝐱𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡: Enhances the robot's coverage. ✅ 𝐅𝐥𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲: Leverages the adaptability and programmability of off-the-shelf robots. ✅ 𝐂𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐄𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲: Often more affordable and quicker to deploy than custom-built solutions. So, is this impressive setup overengineering, or simply great engineering? The balance between flexibility, cost efficiency, and the specific needs of the task makes this a compelling question. ❗𝐅𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 👉 Robert 지영 Liebhart 지영 Liebhart and 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗲𝗹𝗹 🔔 to stay updated with my latest posts about #robotics, #automation, and #innovation! #EndOfArmTooling #Engineering #Robotics #FlexibleAutomation #Technology #Automation #Manufacturing #Efficiency Credits: Lukas M.

Magnetic gripping has advantages over traditional mechanical gripping. Magnets only need one side of the part exposed for gripping whereas traditional parallel gripper covers 3 sides of the part when gripped. Magnets allow for more work to be done because regripping the part is not required. If you have a project, feel free to contact me and we can talk about the possibility for SCHUNK EGM and EMH magnets!

🚗🤖 BMW's Latest Innovation: Meet Figure 02, the Next-Gen Humanoid Robot Just came across this mind-blowing video of BMW's new humanoid robot, Figure 02. As a tech enthusiast, I'm amazed by its features: • Complete hardware and software redesign • Swappable batteries for extended operation • Soft stops in joints for safer human interaction • Fully integrated thumb motors for enhanced dexterity I'm curious: 1. How might this impact the future of factory work? 2. What other industries could benefit from such advanced robotics? Any robotics or automotive experts want to chime in? I'd love to learn more! Check out the video below and share your thoughts! 👇 #BMWInnovation #Robotics #FutureOfManufacturing #TechTrends #StudentPerspective

“Wouldn't it be great if all you had to do was interact with the #robot arm?” In the Special Focus Issue below, Chris Caldwell and Sarah Andrzejewski, product managers at Yaskawa Motoman, illustrated both the #safety features and easy-to-use interfaces of their company’s HC series #cobot arms - from hand-guided #programming using buttons on the robot to its Smart Pendant for setting up jobs. “It’s really meant for people new to robotics, or they’re looking for simpler #programming,” Read the story here: https://lnkd.in/eCaUuh6b and download the SFI below

Another story from this Special Focus Issue is on the Dexterity, Inc. DexR truck loading #robot. We spoke with Dexterity staff about the process of building the degrees of #robotarm movement required to load a truck and more in this piece.

"When a #robot stops, seldom is it broken. Most of the time, it's just confused." - Erik Nieves, CEO of Plus One Robotics. Read more about the #Yonder remote supervision service and supervised autonomy in the #robotics article here: https://lnkd.in/eyhYGmdd and download the SFI below!

🤖 Why haven’t robots reached their full capabilities yet? This is the big question we and the Advanced Research + Invention Agency (ARIA) are looking to answer in a potential new challenge prize that we hope to launch next year. Robotics systems have been designed for specific, repetitive tasks in highly controlled and structured environments, but they still struggle with basic tasks outside their design scope, and lack dexterity and precision. Our hope is that a new robotics dexterity challenge prize will change the conversation globally about robotic capabilities. And we need feedback to ensure we scope something that truly pushes the boundaries of what is possible, brings in radical thinkers and inspires ambitious work. 💡Share your feedback and find out more here: https://ow.ly/P8q150TqUGf #robotics #innovation #roboticdexterity
