Two separate reports•industrial robots•automatically controlled, programmable, multipurpose, 3+ axes, foruse in industrial automation applications•based on 5 different kinematic types that are equipped withapplications-specific end-effectors•service robots: •performs tasks excluding industrial automation•usually application-specific design, often fewer than 3 axes•sometimes not fully autonomous but remote-controlled different customers, pricing, machinery, distribution channels, suppliersPage 5 | 24 Sept 2020Image: StäubliImage: Omron
The blurring lines between industrial and service robotsDepending on its application, the same unit can be a service robot or an industrial robot.Usage concepts change – new applications emerge.Reimagine business processes to make optimal use of collaborative robots.AI and machine learning technologies enable robots to sense and respond to their environment.Robots are increasingly supporting humans both at work and in their private lives.Page 6 | 24 Sept 2020Image: KUKA Image: KUKA
