Motion control is the key technological foundation of industrial automation. The control of motion is a key concern whether it is the path of a cutting tool, the motion of a product, or the motion of an industrial robotic arm conducting seam welding.
Telepresence can be used in a number of environments such as manufacturing facilities and large enterprises where a robot can help remotely located engineers and other team members to connect to the team through live video and audio reducing travel time and costs.
