Human-robot collaboration improves Ford’s headlight adjustment process

January 9, 2020 By Cobot Trends Staff Leave a Comment

KUKA cobots

In the automotive industry, vehicle fog lights have typically been adjusted manually by humans. To provide relief for human workers of this ergonomically-unfriendly task, and to improve the overall adjustment process, Ford VOME (Vehicle Operation Manufacturing Engineering), Dürr Assembly Products and KUKA jointly developed an automated alternative to the conventional process as part of a feasibility […]

Researchers building modular, self-programming robots to improve HRI

June 29, 2019 By Cobot Trends Staff Leave a Comment

Many work processes would be almost unthinkable today without robots. But robots operating in manufacturing facilities have often posed risks to workers because they are not responsive enough to their surroundings. To make it easier for people and robots to work in close proximity in the future, Prof. Matthias Althoff of the Technical University of […]
