…3D vision, machine learning, and artificial intelligence have introduced precision and self-learning, with the ability to search data patterns and apply corrective movements. Such inherent flexibility suits low-volume, mixed-model production lines by allowing the recognition of product variation to activate appropriate responses. For product defects, a welding system with machine vision can support automated feedback and correction in real time, allowing the correction or remanufacturing of high-value parts such as those found in aerospace applications. A U.K. automotive fabric manufacturer uses such vision systems from Shelton Vision for real-time fabric inspection. Manual inspection is impossible because of the speed of…

…as they live up to the extreme requirements of precision. Specifically designed robots can automate the silicon wafer fabrication, take over cleaning and cleansing tasks, or test integrated circuits. Recent examples of reshoring are Intel's new chip factories in Ohio or the recently announced chip plant in the Saarland region of Germany run by chipmaker Wolfspeed and automotive supplier ZF. 3. Robots become easier to use Robot programming has become easier and more accessible to non-experts. Providers of software-driven automation platforms support companies, letting users manage industrial robots with no prior programming experience. Original equipment manufacturers work hand in hand…

…and verifying the location of a locomotive with high precision, said Cognitive Pilot. Labs rigorously test railway system The Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) regulation applies to recently developed railway rolling stock and its parts destined for the use on the railroads in the region, explained Cognitive Pilot. The “railway rolling stock” includes locomotives, motorized cars and trains, special railway rolling stock, and freight cars. To obtain approval for mass production and confirm its compliance with established industry standards for railway rolling stock traffic safety and information security, specialized laboratories tested Cognitive Rail Pilot. They were accredited by Russian Railways. The…

…and relatively easy to automate. Other things require more precision, such as turning avacados to guacamole. That's a tough one to make work, and robots won't do it anytime soon. We have three products: Flippy 2, the Sippy beverage dispenser, and the CookRight AI-powered vision and sensor system to help chefs at the grill. We have a pretty good list of low-hanging fruit, and more isn't necessarily better. We want to automate key tasks and then move on to the next ones. What's on your own wish list? Bell: We don't make our own robot arms, and we're looking at…

…multiple walls at the same time and maneuver with precision forward and backward through trailers. With each box and truck build, the robot’s machine learning gathers more information, allowing Dexterity’s platform to digest and interpret the data for future builds. “When you think about how AI and machine learning works in this thing, there's a lot of focus on action generation,” Ranjan said. “What are the possible sets of actions, given the number of boxes that you can foresee coming, given the state of the wall that is in front of you or state of the load that is in…
