Industrial robots are proving their worth in hazardous human jobs. They perform repetitive tasks faster and more precisely, easing the burden on workers. They are equipped with vision systems and artificial intelligence. Although they are usually associated with factories and high-volume production, their potential is increasingly being seen in non-traditional applications.

What are degrees of freedom? They are independent position variables necessary to describe the state of a physical system. They serve to uniquely define it in space. In mechanics, they depend on the nature of the imposed constraints (any type of constraint affecting the motion of a body) and the number of parts that make

The beginning of May brings a relaxation of social distancing restrictions. What follows will be the opening of stores, shopping malls, other service outlets, educational institutions, etc. It will be a very long process of recovery from the COVID-19 epidemic, referred to in the literature as the “dance”, where the incidence curve will rise once

When visiting manufacturing plants, I have the opportunity to meet people from many backgrounds, industries, working in different positions. Their needs and opinions on robotization and the use of cobots naturally differ. You could say “every person is a different story,” and I listen to each of them with curiosity. Among these companies, machining facilities

Look around at the manufacturing companies you know. Few have the comfort to enjoy a stable team of employees, so job portals are swelling with ads. What can you do about high turnover? If everyone is short of hands, and you’ll be doing the same thing as everyone else – don’t expect different results.

In this article, you’ll read about the typical sources of employee acquisition, and we’ll suggest what you can do differently to effectively reduce turnover.

Collaborative robots are an entirely new category of robots that automate processes in industry. To be precise – they debuted in 2008 in the form of Universal Robots’ UR5 model, which was used to operate a CNC machine. This was done for the first time ever without a safety cage. The revolution had begun. But safety was only one key ingredient in the recipe for success. The other, equal factor for the success of the technology was the business aspect, which is what we will focus on in this article.
