INSPIRATION
Advancements in robotics make the processes in industry 4.0 faster, efficient, and safer. The most prominent robotic technologies impacting manufacturing include autonomous robots, collaborative robots (cobots), collaborative autonomous mobile robots, humanoid, mobile robots, cloud robotics, APIs, pick and place robots, and robot swarms. The use of robots offers higher precision and agility while improving the capability of rapidly developing customizable robots. Robots also free up time for the human workforce to focus on other non-repetitive or high-value tasks.
Bulgarian startup Giga Automata offers a cobot, Animoto.Cobots increase the efficiency of human-performed tasks as they are designed to work alongside the human workforce.
Cobots, in general, are easy to set up, flexible, and low-cost when compared to other robots. Animoto has 6 degrees of freedom with a precision of 0.1 mm and carries up to 5 kg of load within a 1-meter reach, with a speed of up to 2 m/s.
Singapore-based startup Sesto Robotics offers SESTO Element, a multi-purpose autonomous mobile robot. Autonomous robots are essential for industrial automation facilities and allow the human workforce to focus on higher-level tasks,such as factory management. The compact mobile platform
of SESTO Element is customizable with different types of top modules and is based on the nature of the tasks. The company also offers SESTO Prime, an autonomous mobile robot equipped with a 7-axis robotic arm.
