…manufacturing pie, according to Joe Chudy, general manager at ABB Robotics. The Zurich, Switzerland-based robotics vendor has four models of cobots, including the dual-arm YuMi, the single-arm YuMi, the GoFa CRB 15000, and the SWIFTI CRB 1100. ABB's GoFa and SWIFTI, which were released in February 2021, offer higher payloads than both versions of the YuMi, with payloads of 5 kg (11 lb.) and 4 kg (8 lb.), respectively. “The demand for collaborative robots is estimated to grow at a CAGR [compound annual growth rate] of 17% between 2020 and 2025, while the value of global cobot sales is expected…

…developed robots to help with the process. For example, ABB Robotics has demonstrated a workcell with its IRB 1200 industrial system and YuMi collaborative robot that can identify and sort different types of plastics. The cobot has two arms and can move them independently, and it can be wheeled to workstations as needed. “This isn't the only solution, however,” said Nina Faunti, a technical writer at Lia Help and Essayroo. “In some cases, it may be more efficient to use machines that can identify and separate plastics by their shape or color.” She cited the example of the Votechnik ALR-4000,…

…Houston, the Texas Medical Research Innovation Institute has tested ABB's mobile, two-armed YuMi collaborative robot to carry out tasks like pipetting liquids, carrying equipment, and sorting test tubes. Agriculture finds value in automation Farmers have started turning to mobile logistics robots to maintain, measure, and harvest fresh crops. Specialty crops are a prime application for automation, with the need to move heavy carts, narrow rows, and scarce human labor. Examples of such robots include the Burro from the company of the same name (formerly Augean Robotics) and Carry from Future Acres. In addition, XAG's unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) works with…
