When Universal Robots (UR) recently surveyed 1,200 manufacturers across North America and Europe about their use of technology and future investment plans, over 50% of the respondents indicated they are now using AI and machine learning in their production processes. At IMTS 2024, UR showed a machine-tending application with new AI-based perception capabilities running on NVIDIA Jetson and Isaac acceleration libraries integrated into UR’s new PolyScope X platform. This combination enables dynamic path planning, ensuring the robot takes the most effective, collision-free paths in and out of the machine without requiring extensive user configuration. UR plans to make this technology…

…Once that is complete, the AMRs are designed for ease of use by your operational team. No more training is needed than for any other new technology addition, and you do not need a team of robotics engineers on staff. 3. AMRs are too expensive When you look at an AMR it’s easy to jump to the conclusion that they are too expensive for the average warehouse. They seem like a futuristic technology decades in the making, and an investment that only top-tier warehouses can afford. In reality, many AMR solutions are affordable for any size warehouse. Many of the…

…applications in manufacturing as well. I think because of ease of use and a specific lack of people to do certain tasks, you're going to see continued growth in manufacturing. On the collaborative front, one of our conversations at Automate went into how cobots right now are in the “Wild West” because there isn’t an industry standard for what makes a “collaborative” robot. What are your thoughts on the definition of collaborative robots and how cobots are involved in the robotics industry? Burnstein: I suppose we can call it more of collaborative applications. There's no such thing as a collaborative…
