Yamaha Motor Co.’s flagship factory here is using state-of-the-art automated guided vehicles (AGVs) that address the challenges of assembling motorcycles in a high-mix, low-volume environment.
Engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a safety check technique that can prove with 100 percent accuracy that a robot’s trajectory will remain collision-free.
Traditionally, airplane manufacturing has been difficult to automate, due to factors such as tight tolerances and stringent quality demands. However, a new breed of robots enhanced with artificial intelligence technology promises to change that scenario.
New technology is more accurate and less labor-intensive than manual inspection.

ROME—Automation firm Comau and aerospace supplier Leonardo S.p.A. are working together to develop self-adaptive robotic technology that can autonomously inspect helicopter blades up to 7 meters long.
On Demand Join Ernst Neumayr, Channel Development Manager from Universal Robots, and Jeremy Crockett, Business Manager for Automation from Atlas Copco, and discover how cobots can build your business and increase productivity in your manufacturing facility – without multiplying the complexity of your processes!
On Demand Join this webinar to find out why cartesian robots (also known as linear robots or cartesian handling systems) are frequently the best choice for pick-and-place operations, as well as how they compare to other types of industrial robots.
On Demand Join this webinar to hear from Jody Gant, Customer Success Manager from Universal Robots. This cobot expert will cover the basics of what it takes to make sure that your deployment exceeds both your strategic and operational goals.
On DemandJoin Silas Neale, Channel Development Manager from Universal Robots, as he details more of the differences between traditional robots and cobots.
On Demand Robots are still not as adept as people for complex tasks, such as assembling 3D mechatronic items. Now, new technologies, such as artificial intelligence and large language models in particular, are promising to give robots human-like ability to manipulate objects.
ASSEMBLY is thrilled to return to the Music City Center in Nashville, TN for The ASSEMBLY Show SOUTH on May 1-2, 2024. This is a booming time for manufacturing and the U.S. South is right in the heart of the action. According to ASSEMBLY’s most recent annual capital spending survey, the South is projected to account for 31 percent of total spending this year, marking the fifth straight year this region has accounted for at least 30 percent of capital spending in the U.S.
