Next Generation Robots

When most peo­ple think about robots, their mind prob­a­bly goes to either the sci­ence fic­tion robots we see in tele­vi­sion and movies, or it may drift to the indus­tri­al robots that are found in fac­to­ries all over the world. How­ev­er, there is a whole new gen­er­a­tion of robots that are com­ing to the fore­front, and unlike the indus­tri­al robots that have tak­en up the mar­ket­place for the last 40 years, these new robots are all about envi­ron­ments out­side of the fac­to­ry setting.

Med­ical robots are some of the robots on the fastest rise to the top, and we’re not just talk­ing about robots that man­u­fac­ture hos­pi­tal beds and cab­i­nets and such. Robot­ic sur­geons are assist­ing and per­form­ing surg­eries on a reg­u­lar basis in some hos­pi­tals, while oth­er robot are work­ing in care and nurs­ing capac­i­ties. Still oth­er next gen robots are work­ing as phar­ma­cists, mea­sur­ing out med­ica­tion and mak­ing sure that patients have their prop­er pre­scrip­tion and dosage. Robots have a high degree of accu­ra­cy, and because of that, they are per­fect for these types of tasks. There is lit­tle to no fear of a robot­ic sur­geon get­ting a shaky hand, or a robot­ic phar­ma­cist mis­count­ing a prescription.

The next gen­er­a­tion of robots are also going to find work in the domes­tic and ser­vice indus­tries. Ser­vice next gen robot­ics are being devel­oped for the restau­rant, as well as the bar. Accu­ra­cy, cou­pled with speed, make these prime places for robots. A robot­ic cook can make the food to order, while a robot­ic serv­er can bring it to your table in record time. Also, with a robot bar­tender, a drink is poured just right every time. These are advan­tages that might make any restau­rant or bar own­er invest. Prompt ser­vice, good food and well-made drinks are ways to boost sales and the rep­u­ta­tion of the estab­lish­ment, mak­ing these next gen­er­a­tion robot sys­tems a win-win for ser­vice indus­try owners.

So, what does all this have to do with indus­tri­al robots? Well, where do you think all of these next gen­er­a­tion robots got their skills? Just like par­ents pass­ing down traits to their chil­dren, next gen robot sys­tems have gained quite a bit from their indus­tri­al brethren. The first, obvi­ous­ly, being the robot­ic speed. Robot­ic arms per­form high lev­els of work in fac­to­ries every day, work­ing much faster than their human coun­ter­parts. Anoth­er sim­i­lar­i­ty is in the accu­ra­cy that all of these robots bring to the table. This lev­el of accu­ra­cy and repeata­bil­i­ty has been honed over many years in fac­to­ries, where robots are able to hit the same mark over and over with­out miss­ing a beat.

While Robots​.com isn’t inte­grat­ing ser­vice or med­ical robots at this time, they are inte­grat­ing indus­tri­al robot sys­tems on a dai­ly basis. What is Robots​.com? Robots​.com is a cer­ti­fied robot­ics inte­gra­tor for sev­er­al top robot­ics com­pa­nies, includ­ing Fanuc, ABB, Motoman, Uni­ver­sal Robots, and KUKA. Our staff is ded­i­cat­ed to help­ing you build the per­fect robot­ic sys­tem for your facility.
