New Trends in Robotics in the Field of Automation

The Role of Robots(Robotics) in Manufacturing and Service Industries

As one of the most advanced intelligent devices, robots play an important role in modern manufacturing and service industries.

The research and development, manufacturing, and application of robots can not only improve production efficiency and product quality, but also reduce labor costs and risks, and improve the safety and comfort of the working environment.

By continuously promoting innovation in robotics technology, we can further promote the development of industrial automation, intelligent manufacturing, and service robotics, contributing to high-quality economic growth and sustainable social development

So, what are the trends of robots in the future automation field?

The demand for intelligent sensors:

Quality inspection is crucial for all industries, as it ensures that products meet prescribed quality standards and enables consumers to trust and be satisfied with the products they purchase.

Intelligent sensors can provide high-precision data and quickly evaluate the accuracy of product manufacturing in quality inspection, improve the efficiency and accuracy of quality inspection, and effectively reduce labor costs and time consumption.

Intelligent sensors are typically combined with different types of robots, especially collaborative robotic arms. These robots are equipped with visual sensors that can accurately detect and evaluate products. Through artificial intelligence monitoring, the data collected by sensors can be quickly analyzed to determine whether the product meets quality requirements.

Synthesis and transportation of drugs:

For pharmaceutical companies, drug synthesis requires high precision and strict safety precautions.

In recent years, the improvement of affordability, flexibility, and safety of collaborative robots has attracted more and more attention from pharmaceutical companies, and some manufacturers have begun to use robots to help handle chemical compounds used in drug production.

In addition, robots are also used for drug distribution and sample processing. Not only does it reduce the risk of human contact with bodily fluids, but it also greatly reduces the probability of sample contamination, thereby ensuring the accuracy and reliability of experimental results.

Release and standardization of automated structures:

Many robotics companies retain their own design plans and specifications, which poses certain challenges for engineers and manufacturers, and the launch of standardized robots can help solve this problem.

Similar to open source coding, standardized robot design and specifications will enable engineers to better collaborate and share knowledge, thereby driving technological progress and innovation. This standardization will provide consistent interfaces and compatibility for different manufacturers, allowing consumers to freely choose various types of robots from different manufacturers and easily integrate them into the factory’s production line.

Popularization of cooperative robots in the service industry:

Cost has always been a challenge for small businesses adopting robots, and with the development of the market, we have seen more affordable robots.

For example, beverage mixing robots can provide assistance in places such as coffee and smoothie shops, accurately making various beverages, reducing manual operation time and errors. Roaming robots answer customer questions in the grocery store, providing personalized services and guidance.

The automation application of this industrial robot has solved the problem of human resource allocation for enterprises, freeing up the time and energy of human workers, allowing them to focus on more personalized and high-value work.

Higher demand for data analysis services:

Data analysis plays an important role in optimizing production processes and decision-making. Through in-depth analysis of the collected data, manufacturers can identify potential problems and bottlenecks and take corresponding measures to improve them.

For example, by analyzing which link introduced the majority of errors, manufacturers can optimize the process flow of that link or provide training to reduce error rates. By identifying which steps involve downtime, manufacturers can develop preventive maintenance plans to minimize downtime and improve production efficiency.

With the development of the manufacturing industry and the advancement of digital transformation, the demand for data analysis technology and services from manufacturers will increase. Data analysis can help manufacturers make more informed decisions and achieve process optimization and efficiency improvement.

Ensuring Consumer Safety:

Automation technology plays an important role in ensuring consumer safety.

This trend is reflected in the transportation industry, especially in the aviation industry. For example, Air Cobot robots are used to assist in pre flight safety inspections of aircraft, ensuring a thorough inspection of the bottom of the aircraft.

In addition to the aviation industry, automation technology has also played an important role in other transportation fields. For example, automatic sorting systems and intelligent warehouse management systems in the logistics industry, as well as autonomous driving technology used in public transportation, are all aimed at providing safer and more efficient transportation services.

Continuing to promote the application of automation technology in transportation and other fields will further improve the safety and efficiency of the entire industry.

Turning to virtual engineering solutions:

Industrial development is a labor-intensive process that involves multiple stages such as planning, design, construction, and testing. In order to improve cost-effectiveness and collaboration capabilities, more and more companies are transferring their engineering methods to virtual engineering.

For example, 3D mapping technology enables developers to work together in a virtual environment and conduct preliminary testing of the design. By simulating the construction and functional performance of robots in a virtual environment, the pressure of physical construction and testing can be reduced, thereby reducing the time and money invested in engineering prototypes.

This virtual testing and verification method can also ensure that the performance and reliability of robots in actual production are effectively verified, thereby reducing the risk of research and development and manufacturing.

Reduce the pressure on human workers:

The solution to reduce worker pressure and improve work efficiency is an attractive advantage of industrial robot automation.

By positioning and assigning robots to job positions that are suitable for their skills and abilities, human workers can shift to supervising and managing the work of robots. Supervisors can simultaneously monitor the operation status of multiple robots and handle factory alarms when needed.

This transformation will enable workers to better utilize their skills and expertise, as well as better respond to situations that require human judgment and flexibility.

Artificial Intelligence for Network Security Management:

Network security is an important issue to consider when applying automation in the manufacturing process. The use of robots for automation brings many benefits, but also introduces network security risks. From programming collaborative robots to collecting data, sensitive information that needs to be protected may be involved. In terms of network security management, by using artificial intelligence technology, monitoring personnel can regularly conduct routine inspections, identify potential security vulnerabilities and weak links, and take corresponding measures to solve them.

Improving agricultural production efficiency:

The shortage of labor in the agricultural industry is a practical problem. In order to fill this gap, farmers have started introducing robots with intelligent sensors into farmland, becoming part of their regular worker team.

Through intelligent sensors and image recognition technology, these robots can accurately identify and process weeds while ensuring the quality of crops.

The introduction of these robots can reduce the workload of farmers, improve production efficiency, and to some extent alleviate the problem of labor shortage.
