…Automation Society (IEEE/RAS) and the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) jointly sponsor the award, which is intended to promote stronger collaboration between science and industry in robotics. ABB PixelPaint saves paint, time In the past, 20% to 30% percent of the paint applied to vehicles was wasted because of overspray. By contrast, the inkjet head of PixelPaint applies 100% of the paint to the vehicle surface, according to ABB Robotics. In addition, PixelPaint's two high-precision robots eliminate the process of masking and de-masking each car, helping to reduce bottlenecks, it said. Previously, applying a two-tone or customized design was a…

…as well as the International Federation of Robotics, or IFR, recently answered questions from Robotics 24/7 about current trends in technology and industry. Recession and recovery Global manufacturing had started to slow down even before the pandemic because of factors such as China-U.S. trade tensions. How quickly do you expect it to return to steady growth? Guerry: This is exactly right. In 2019, we were feeling the slowing related to trade tensions and changes in the automotive industry related to EVs [electric vehicles]. The slowdown was coming off an all-time high in 2018, but robot deployments remained at a high…
