…to maximize their productivity by taking advantage of the precision and repeatability of automation and the cognitive and troubleshooting abilities of human supervisors, he said. “Robots are fundamentally different from people—we want to enable each to do what they're best at and allow companies to decide which parts of their processes to automate,” asserted Vu. “We've already seen this with AMRs [autonomous mobile robots] from 6 River Systems or Locus, where making robots more intelligent has led to more human-machine interaction, not lights-out facilities.” “Cobots showed the value of people plus robots in the same environments, but the industry has…

…THeMIS a 'force multiplier' THeMIS Combat UGVs can provide high-precision, direct-fire support for maneuver units and act as a force multiplier, claimed Milrem Robotics. The system displayed at LAAD is equipped with the two-axis, gyro-stabilized GUARDIAN 2.0 remote weapon station from Madrid-based Escribano Mechanical & Engineering S.L. (EM&E). GUARDIAN 2.0 and the advanced sensors and fire-control system in THeMIS allow dismounted infantry units to assess and engage the enemy at maximum standoff distances, said Milrem Robotics. This can increase force protection and survivability day and night, and in adverse weather conditions, it asserted. The Multiscope Rescue was designed to provide…

…robots include increased efficiency and productivity, improved accuracy and precision, and reduced labor costs. These machines can perform complex tasks with high consistency and accuracy, making them ideal for mass production and high-precision applications. CNC robotics has revolutionized the manufacturing industry, allowing for faster production times, greater precision, and easier changeover of product designs. What is CNC machining? Before we can gain insights into CNC robotics, it's important to understand the basics of CNC machining. Using computer-assisted instructions, a CNC turning machine can interpret and convert three-dimensional CAD designs into machined parts. CNC machines and robots operate using code and…
