Five Unique Automated Robotic Systems
There’s no arguing that the capabilities of today’s robotics are impressive. With technology improving by the day, the possible abilities of automated robotic systems seem limitless. You can find some type of automated system in just about any workplace these days. Whether in an industrial setting, performing tasks like manufacturing or simply in an office, there is always a place for robotics implementation. We have compiled a list of five unique automated robotic systems that are streamlining operations – and in one case, even saving lives – in modern workplaces.
1. Surgery Robots
Automated robotic systems assist surgeons in performing minimally invasive surgery. The robots allow surgeons to operate with more precision than ever before, offering patients overall better recovery experiences. When using these machines, the surgeon sits at a console and controls the robot’s arms with a joystick. Using robotics allows surgeons to perform procedures with increased dexterity, smaller incisions and even more complex movements, all while providing the surgeon with a magnified image of the surgical site.
2. Collaborative Robots (AKA Cobots)
As a more recent invention, cobots are gaining popularity. Rather than an automatic system being completely autonomous, these collaborative robots are designed to be controlled by a human operator. Cobots can be used in a variety of environments ranging from industrial settings to shopping centers and hospitals (like surgery robots). These systems offer increased safety for workers in workplaces that can be dangerous. They can also help reduce human error.
3. Restaurant Robots
Order up! Some restaurants are now implementing robotics and artificial intelligence to offer a high-tech dining experience. Food service robots can serve food and clear empty plates speedily and effectively. Oh, and did we mention they are self-driving? Using this automated robotic system allows human servers to focus more on the customer experience, and relieves them of the time-consuming task of bussing tables.
4. Agriculture Robots
When you think of manual labor, one of the leading industries that comes to mind is agriculture. However, technology has come so far now that we even have robots for farming. There is a wide range of agriculture robots that perform a variety of tasks, whether they remove weeds, hoe fields or even harvest produce. This is revolutionary for the agriculture industry, creating faster harvests and cutting down on labor costs and requirements.
5. Delivery Robots
This automated robotic system could show up right at your door. There is no task more time-consuming and repetitive than delivering packages. It’s one of the reasons why the use of delivery robots is trending among retail companies lately. These robots are equipped with sensors and maps that allow them to navigate a delivery route with no help. Now, deliveries within a certain radius can be made with no human contact, while being monitored virtually from the buisness’s hub.
