ABB offered its technical expertise to provide a turnkey solution for an automotive giant, sited in Changchun City, China.
An actuator is an electromechanical device or a motor that controls a robotic system by converting electrical energy into motion.
Wheeled motion is the most popular locomotion mechanism in robotics suitable for a wide range of target environments. This mechanism enables the robot to move rapidly and consumes lesser energy when compared to other types of robotic locomotion mechanisms.
With a modular design, ROS accelerates robotic development, supporting various applications from industrial automation to healthcare and autonomous vehicles.

Once the basic components required for making a robot are selected, a structure or framework has to be designed by combining all the parts together to achieve a definite shape.
Automated handling vehicles or automated guided vehicles or AGVs are instrumental in improving efficiency and reducing costs by helping in the automation of a warehouse or a manufacturing facility.
Binary sensors are based on the principle touch & no-touch values across the array providing a measure of the spatial distribution of force.

The field of robotics has grown rapidly over the years, creeping into disciplines such as medicine, academics and forensics. The field of education has greatly benefited from advancements in robotics.
Science fiction films like A.I. and I-Robot portray a world entwined with artificial intelligence (AI). However, what we don't see on the big screen is how this technology could work in the real world. A joint partnership involving researchers from Cornell University has started to create a giant repository of knowledge collected from the internet that robots can use to learn new skills.
