…to execute tasks, increasing efficiency, improving quality, and reducing ergonomic hazards. AI helps humans, robots tackle transmission assembly Assembly of transmissions is notoriously complex. Previously, operators installed heavy transmission components such as torque converters manually, a challenging process from an ergonomics and safety standpoint. In recent years, the process was automated. Symbio said it is helping Ford to control the robot with AI, which more efficiently installs components into the transmission based on the large amounts of data it has collected. This new process allows the robot to predict how it should assemble components in the next transmission based off…

…mobile robots. 1. Mobile robots can make work more ergonomic Manufacturers often need to plan how human workers will use certain tools or move materials. This is in order to protect the body’s musculoskeletal system and avoid costly workplace injuries. State and federal regulations and guidelines are intended to prevent ergonomics-related injuries. For instance, tools have to be placed at a height that accommodates a healthy range of motion for workers. Robots can also eliminate the risk of repetitive stress injuries from continual repeated motions on an assembly line or in other workspaces. Robotics don't have these same vulnerabilities because…
