…Chino-Calif. based company says GRIT handles tasks such as sanding, grinding and finishing in the manufacturing process, thanks to a high-speed camera and AI-driven computer vision integrated with Kane’s GRIT cobot offering. AI-powered vision system A human operator sets up the cobot and attaches the necessary tools for the weld-grinding process, then monitors and adjusts the process through a live custom interface. Next, artificial intelligence takes over. Using the camera, the vision system “sees” uneven surfaces on a weld or seam. Thanks to rapidly learning AI, the system alerts the cobot’s robotic arm and steers it accordingly. “Thanks to AI,…
