Laerdal Medical is one of the world’s leading suppliers of models for teaching people how to do CPR, intubate a patient or even deliver a baby. To ensure that each bust is assembled correctly and shipped with the right auxiliary components, Laerdal engineers implemented Tulip Vision, a vision-based error-proofing system from Tulip Interfaces Inc.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is currently the leading trend in machine vision. Every major machine vision software package incorporates AI as one of its tools, and even less common software options include AI features as well.
When you buy a cobot, you may have just one application in mind, but leading cobots are platforms for almost any number of quality applications - and not just quality applications.
I've noticed that operators and inspection workers often realize upon first meeting collaborative robots (cobots) that they aren't replacements for human labor. Instead, cobots signal a shift from traditional automation in quality and inspection, providing distinct advantages over traditional robots.
We define machine learning and explain how it works within machine vision, with a focus on where machine learning can be effectively applied to enhance inspection reliability and capability.
Companies are turning to robotic automation for surface finishing tasks like sanding and polishing due to labor shortages. Advancements in AI enable robots to self-program and perform complex operations autonomously.
Inbolt’s Guide-Now system uses 3D vision and artificial intelligence to enable a robot to locate a workpiece and adjust its path to the target in real time.
Mercedes is testing humanoid robots at its assembly plants in Berlin, Germany, and Kecskemét, Hungary, and the automaker plans to bring them to other factories in the near future.
