Manufacturers are using artificial intelligence to improve automated inspection, generate more cost-effective product designs, and analyze reams of process data to prevent defects. Now, they can use AI to improve robot guidance.
German startup Micropsi Industries GmbH has introduced MIRAI, a new control system that enables robots to handle variance in shape, position, color and light conditions in the work space. Using AI, MIRAI generates robot movements in real time and can respond automatically to movements of the target object. MIRAI takes control of the first and last centimeters of the robot’s path, eliminating the need for rigid fixturing of parts.
