…or mixed unit loads using FANUC add-on instructions (AOIs). Kawasaki Kawasaki’s RS013N six-axis cobot has a maximum load capacity of 13 kg (28.6 lb.). A recent redesign for all of the company's R series cobots results in less overall weight, enabling faster working speed and improved range of motion – up to 1,460 mm (57.4 in.), meaning better cycle times and improve flexibility. The cobot also features covered motors and waterproof electrical connections, with different models for floor, wall, or ceiling mounting. Reduced interference zones around the robot base allow users to maximize their floor space and working area, said…

Meanwhile, OpenAI's ChatGPT has blazed a trail for Large Language Models (LLMs), setting the AI world on fire. In Microsoft's paper “ChatGPT for Robotics: Design Principles and Model Abilities,” a key challenge in applying AI innovation to robotics is observed: “Robotics is a diverse field where several platforms, scenarios, and tools exist. There exists an extensive variety of libraries and APIs….” The paper proposed a higher-level function library and prompt engineering tools to control robots with natural language. LLMs have huge potential in robotics,…
