Top 10 ways that robots can be used in manufacturing | Manufacturing Global
If the average person was asked to draw a robot, they would probably include a humanoid-figure with a vacant smiley face. This is the Hollywood version of robotics that we know, one designed to look friendly.
In the manufacturing industry, robots can carry weights humans can't, answer customer help requests, help a company improve its safety and lower costs. By 2030, the autonomous mobile robot (AMR) market size is expected to reach USD$22bn by 2030.
Scientists develop insect-sized flying robots with flapping wings -- ScienceDaily
A new drive system for flapping wing autonomous robots has been developed by a University of Bristol team, using a new method of electromechanical zipping that does away with the need for conventional motors and gears.
This new advance, published today in the journal Science Robotics , could pave the way for smaller, lighter and more effective micro flying robots for environmental monitoring, search and rescue, and deployment in hazardous environments.
