Collaborative robots, or cobots, are here to stay in a variety of major industries. As our factories become more dependent on melding human intuition with autonomous efficiency, robotics engineers must place a greater emphasis on safety.
By combining one of their holonomic (omnidirectional) youBot mobile platforms with the Titan, their largest and strongest robotic arm, Kuka created the strongest mobile robot ever. Giants planet-defending robots, here we go! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcZJA3XyVjQ Via Hizook.
Engineers and researchers form the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics, in Tübingen, Germany and making some interesting "scientific research" about the way humans perceive motion by riding a giant industrial robot arm from Kuka while playing video games. As depicted in the video b
The manufacturer of the Kuka industrial robotic arm has unveiled a mobile platform with open interfaces and open source software. It's a first: a manufacturer of industrial robots heading towards consumer robotics. The arm has a multidirectional mobile platform, a hand with 5 degrees of freedom…
The Hamamatsu Science Museum in Japan has a few different robots which entertain the visitors. First there's the little blue and green robot which acts as your talking guide in the museum. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfMEQrEG_Vk It can recharge by itself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnfW2…
