EU Robo-Mate project presents first prototype of an exoskeleton to help production workers.
Teradyne, Inc. announced today that it has completed the acquisition of Universal Robots, the leading supplier of collaborative robots; low-cost, easy-to-deploy and simple-to -program robots that work side by side with production workers to improve quality and increase manufacturing efficiency. Collaborative robotics is a $100 million segment of the industrial robotics market growing at more than 50% per year.
Technavio has published a new report on the global Cartesian robot market, which is expected to grow at a CAGR of nearly 5% from 2015-2019.
About Industrial Robots
Industrial robotics is the technology used to automate a variety of manufacturing processes across different industries such as automotive, food and beverage, and electrical and electronics. Industrial robots are programmed to automate and control manufacturing processes such as arc welding, spot welding, materials handling, machine tending, picking, packing and palletizing, assembly, mechanical cutting, grinding, deburring and polishing, gluing, adhesive sealing and spraying materials, and other applications including inspection, water jet cutting, and soldering.
A leader in custom manufacturing for outdoor power equipment, Standby Screw Machine Products Co., is leveraging Rethink Robotics' two-armed Baxter robot in two separate applications to increase flexibility and consistency in its manufacturing operations and better compete on a global stage.
The collaborative robotics sector is expected to increase roughly tenfold between 2015 and 2020, reaching over US$1 billion from approximately US$95M in 2015, according to a new study published by ABI Research entitled Collaborative Robotics: State of the Market / State of the Art.
Recently published studies all agree on the big trends that are shaping smart factories or Industry 4.0.
There’s an urgent demand for new antimicrobial compounds that are effective against constantly emerging drug-resistant bacteria. Two robotic chemical-synthesizing machines, named Symphony X and Overture, have joined the search. Their specialty is creating custom nanoscale structures that mimic nature’s proven designs. They’re also fast, able to assemble dozens of compounds at a time.
Adept Technology, Inc., a leading provider of intelligent robots, autonomous mobile solutions and services, has added a new distributor, Applied Controls, Inc. A full-service automation provider, Applied Controls will market and support Adept's portfolio of industrial robots and autonomous mobile robots in the United States' mid-Atlantic region.
Today’s industrial robots are remarkably efficient — as long as they’re in a controlled environment where everything is exactly where they expect it to be.
