Flesh and Machine are Teaming Up at ICRW 2016

Come one, come all, to the fore­front of a dynam­ic and rev­o­lu­tion­ary robot­ic era! 

On May 2 and 3^rd, 2016, there will be an Inter­na­tion­al Col­lab­o­ra­tive Robots Work­shop in Boston, Mass­a­chu­setts. This two-day event will give the most up-to-date infor­ma­tion about the new kid on the block, col­lab­o­ra­tive robots, also known as cobots!

These next-gen­er­a­tion robots take advan­tage of both human and machine strength and are able to work with or along­side peo­ple to expand human capabilities. 

By def­i­n­i­tion, col­lab­o­ra­tion is ​“The action of work­ing with some­one to pro­duce or cre­ate some­thing.” This is is the exact pur­pose of col­lab­o­ra­tive robots; no longer will there be a need for a divid­ed work­place between peo­ple and robots. Flesh and col­lab­o­ra­tive machine can now safe­ly and effec­tive­ly work togeth­er in an uncaged envi­ron­ment. It is awe­some to see man and machine team up for a faster, safer and more effec­tive workplace!

The cobot move­ment seems to be unstop­pable as they are quick­ly trans­form­ing the robot­ic indus­try with huge advance­ments in their sen­sors, soft­ware, and EOATs that are con­stant­ly increas­ing capa­bil­i­ties and appli­ca­tions. For these rea­sons, col­lab­o­ra­tive robots seem to be one of the biggest ROIs to come. They have huge eco­nom­ic ben­e­fits to firms by eas­ing dif­fi­cult human tasks while also enabling work­ers to focus and bring the com­pa­ny their 100%, undi­vid­ed, indi­vid­ual skill set.

Fanuc is one of the first to dive into this new col­lab­o­ra­tive robot­ic tech­nol­o­gy with the pro­duc­tion of their heavy lift­ing col­lab­o­ra­tive robot. The CR35iA has the abil­i­ty to lift up to 35kg, mak­ing it the strongest col­lab­o­ra­tive robot, thus far, in the industry!

For all these rea­sons, this will be a work­shop you don’t want to miss! You will wit­ness the lat­est and great­est col­lab­o­ra­tive robot tech­nol­o­gy from lead­ers who are on the cut­ting edge of this excit­ing new tech­nol­o­gy. Real-life expe­ri­ences will be shared from cur­rent cobot users, new ideas and mar­ket strate­gies will be shown through these tech­no­log­i­cal advances, and you will be able to expe­ri­ence it all, first hand! Also fea­tured will be numer­ous pre­sen­ta­tions on appli­ca­tions, safe­ty impli­ca­tions, and human impacts.

Going to events like these is a great way to con­nect to a robot­ic com­mu­ni­ty and meet with oth­er peo­ple in the indus­try who share your curios­i­ty, pas­sion, and inter­est. So cheers to col­lab­o­ra­tion and hap­py trails to Massachusetts!
