Robotics in Japan has been a key industry for many years, developing new technologies and new ways to use them. The term “robotics” might bring to mind either industrial robots working on assembly lines or humanoid robots made to mimic people, but there are many other types of robots being put to numerous different uses….
The use of robots in manufacturing began in 1961 and with constant advancements in robot technology, big data, machine learning, artificial intelligence and Internet of Things (IoT), the recent years have witnessed a considerable increase in the adoption of robots in manufacturing industries. The adoption of automation in the manufacturing sector has transformed the need…
Machines have been a significant part of human reality for a long time. However, it was the industrial revolution that marked a major breakthrough in the adoption of automated machines or robots. Since the introduction of robotics, work has been significantly shared between man and machine. And, as robots become more technologically advanced and autonomous,…

In the world of intelligent machines, autonomous mobile robots are the game-changing innovations of the recent times. The next generation mobile robots are already being used in several industries including automotive, healthcare, aerospace, as well as oil and gas industry. These robots are widely deployed in the improvised explosive device (IED) handling, scouting, and logistics…
With the involvement of human workforce in every process in the manufacturing industries, there are increased chances of errors, frequent failures, and problems in maintaining the productivity and quality of products. Owing to these circumstances, implementation of SCARA robots becomes very essential for manufacturing firms. SCARA robots are horizontally configured robots with fewer backend-programming requirements….
Traditionally, the manufacturing industries used to deploy human workers for carrying out inspection of processes, equipment and products manually even in the hazardous and unsafe situations. These circumstances in the manufacturing firms made a strong point to implement inspection robots. These robots are used for inspection, monitoring, and surveillance. Additionally, the use of inspection robots…
