But if you shrink that robot down, give it the ambulatory capabilities of a human and bathe the whole thing in AI, Hyundai reckons it can replace the most unreliable element of the modern assembly line: the human laborer. Enter Atlas, one of those humanoid ‘bots I mentioned up top there. As it turns out, Atlas can do more than dodge a hockey stick.

Hyundai plans to manufacture 30,000 Atlas robots a year starting in 2028 at its high-tech Georgia auto factory.

Krone’s state-of-the-art, smart factory in Ibbenbüren produces complex welded assemblies for the company’s tractors and trailers.

You just knew this was coming. No doubt, you've heard about the staffing shortages in factories. And guess what? The solution seems to be robots. At Mercedes-Benz Manufacturing in Hungary, they’ve swapped out some of their human workers for humanoid ...

In assembly lines, robots are programmed to perform a single task with high precision. Consider the example of automobile assembly, depicted in the picture above. Cars move along a conveyor belt, passing through various assembly robots. Each robotic arm is ...

Engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed an AI-driven robotic assembly system lets users build simple objects by describing them with words.

Available with workspaces ranging from 500 to 900 mm, Denso's VS-series robots are used for assembling small medical parts. In contrast to hard automation technologies, robots are flexible systems that can be retooled and reprogrammed. Over the last few ...

The duAro robot from Kawasaki Robotics is designed to work alongside humans on material handling, assembly, machine tending and dispensing applications. The dual-arm horizontal articulated SCARA (Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arm) robot operates on a ...

Let’s say you’re an engineer with an idea for a new car. But before you even can start experimenting, you have to spend hours casting screws and making rubber for tires from scratch. This is similar to the challenge facing researchers trying to invent ...
