AI AND ROBOTICS n there cannot be an expert on every factory oor (cobots have only reached about 2% of the current potential market). Many tasks in robotics today still require an expert. With AI, we will soon be able to remove some of the current hurdles, and this will accelerate the introduction of robots in many areas. n Generative AI can help us standardise solutions The challenges we face in the automation industry are very similar in many companies. With generative AI, we are increasingly able to standardise both problems and solutions and thus create more re-usable robot behaviours. There is no need to reinvent the wheel every time a new robot is installed, and AI can help with that, making integration as well as return-oninvestment much faster. n AI enhances robots’ abilities to navigate in unpredictable environments As with the logistics solution mentioned earlier, vision technology with real-time feedback from 3D cameras is a huge enabler, not just of autonomous navigation, but also of obstacle detection. This capability opens the potential to introduce robots outside of the structured environment of a factory oor – for example, in the construction industry, where robots must handle project variations while working side-by-side with humans. At Universal Robots, we already have numerous partners in our ecosystem making great advances with AI-based applications, in construction and beyond. And like so many of the other automation trends we will experience in the coming years across applications and industries, AI will very much be at the centre of future progress. n Robominds’ robobrain.vision kit: Using camera-based AI technology, a cobot picks up di erent objects, regardless of their shape or size. Siemens’ Robot Pick AI deep learning-based vision software allows cobots to perform tasks previously only possible using using manual intervention. Here the technology is shown in action at the Spanish intralogistics technology company, Mecalux. device-design www.escate OU n-to-manufacturing ec.com/medicalTNOW! & ecycle acturing Design, manuf lif www.escatec.com e solutions built
