…recycling station. The company also recently announced its Automated Cleaning Station for its Grav Enhanced gripper attachment. Rizon robot arm uses machine vision to sort out recyclables Flexiv’s recycling system uses a combination of its Grav Enhanced Gecko Gripper, a Rizon 4 adaptive robot arm, and a 3D depth camera to automatically identify and sort household waste into multiple categories. Currently the system can differentiate between glass, plastics, and what it classes as “other” materials. This classification process leverages machine vision for initial identification, followed by a “squeeze test” with the robot's gripper for verification when classification certainty is low.…

…particle-free before assembly, and are therefore subjected to meticulous cleaning at very high pressure. These noisy and arduous processes are currently performed manually. Operators exposed to high pressure water jets, up to 60 bars, pollution and noise are at high risk of MSD. Aeronautical manufacturers and subcontractors are having difficulty recruiting candidates for these jobs, which are also highly regulated and whose difficulty is closely monitored by the unions. In order to reduce the difficulty of these tasks, manufacturers are seeking to automate them. Nevertheless, they are confronted with the complexity of robotization, due in particular to the diversity of…
