Motoman SDA10 robot assembly

[davepamn]

This demonstration was very impressive. How does the speed to assembly compare against existing production times for the chair assembly?

We Poles are robots and work for a bowl of rice

[szlaht]

Pole or Chinese at the same time would have done five seats

Polak lub Chinczyk w tym czasie zrobiłby 5 foteli

PRICE???? more or less!!!!

[mrkiky]

@TETOYVIENDO of the robot? I'm guessing over 50.000 euro...maybe over 100.000.

Smart Robots = Less Jobs for laborers = bad economy = revolution against machines = rich people making machines making them able to defend their selfs= machine revolution = big war. = ?

This technology is impossible to implement in our current state of economict because it put people out of work, make them lose purchasing power which comes back to the company making them go broke anyway. Instead let us use this in a sane way; firstly by relieving people of this kind of mundane jobs and reap the profits of the increased productivity.

Programming this robot must be tough! Lots of interferences to deal with and cycle recovery would be hard. Great demo however.  Really shows so fascinating capabilities.

[ByT3R]

@SeanyPMac The controller actually takes care of all of the those issues, that's the great thing about Motoman. We have a NX100 controller and an HP20 robot, I just have to program the coordinates and tool actions, and the controller does the rest! BTW, the HP20 has 50 micrometers repeatability!

@SeanyPMac

I dont know if programming this is hard work, or pure f*cking headache.

15 degrees of freedom??????? Although high level of dextry but can you imagine the hundreds of command lines?

But I do agree it is amazing...

[AZURA888]

If robot doesn't detect the chair the program just stop and maybe it plays a twitter looking for help.

[TZMSocialEvolution]

It would take me probably 4 to 5 times as long to do this myself, not counting distractions and getting pissed at the screw driver. lol.

[hondica]

Robots are better then people. They can think without head :)

[iddqds]

@hondica you are great :)

[NineInchSamusAran]

I for one welcome our new robot overlo... err, slaves?

[MrSerk]

Вот если бы вокруг лежали ящики с запчастями и он от туда сам их доставал другое дело. Тут же все для него разложили на свои места!

[MrSerk]

Чтобы этот робот правильно собрал стульчик, нужно точно и правильно разложить запчасти а если задом наперед или вверх ногами то ничего не соберет.

[walter0bz]

they might keep us as pets

[polyatheist]

Industrial robots are assembling things for decades already. So what's special in this case? The whole setup seems completely predefined. Can it react to a part that's turned?

[JordanChristopherCla]

The setup is predefined because it's a demo. There's not a need to show all the support machinery for part presentation.

The point of this demo is to show what can be done in applications that are generally thought of as "human only"

[farmatyr01]

Wonder what would happen if I moved the chair five inches.

[Mirco884]

They they should have a machine vision system that determines any misalignment and the robot would readjust accordingly

[kizkoool]

What would be really interesting is a Motoman SDA10 robot assembling a Motoman SDA10 robot !
