ABB Robotics - Handling & degating plastic bumpers

[RICARDO26071]

very slow, while the robots were so slow so humans will not be replaced. Ricardo of Brazil.

@RICARDO26071 Slowish maybe. But fast enough to keep up with the cycle of the Injection Molding machine. And as @6418978876 commented they do not take breaks and can maintain that pace 24 hours a day & 366 days (in 2012) a year.

[RICARDO26071]

@ABBRobotics Yes, but the manpower from countries like Brazil and China are much cheaper, even with taxes and other costs, I am mechanical engineer, and here in Brazil, most robots are used for tasks requiring high production, but very cool the video, I know we can count on more agile robots in the future.

muito lento, enquanto os robôs foram tão lentos assim, os humanos não serão substituidos. Ricardo do Brasil.

@ALOHAGLOCK

Yes, Robotics is a small division of ABB, when compared to the size of the company.

what a cute baby robot, helping mummy in the kitchen.

I have been working with robots ( ABB, Fanuc, and Nachi) for over 10 yrs now. I can about guarantee what you saw was really slowed down to show you what they are doing. What you saw there was prolly about 50% or slower of full speed.

@scheissaufGOOG2E

Intelligent Robots. The creators of respect.

i think the cutting process is very slow.. i would do it faster by hand, why buy a expensive robot to do that?

[6418978876]

Maybe they're cheaper in the long run compared to paying wages and they don't take breaks.

[bartp84]

@Kinglevel

because its cheaper investing in robots than paying a worker who does the same thing.

[bartp84]

@Kinglevel

because its able to cut 24 hours day which makes it already fast and it would not be motivating for a worker to cut whole day i think. All simple working tasks will become dominated by robots in the future i think
