As robots perform repetitive tasks, the integration of AI can support to increase its accuracy and reliability and can perform quality control and predictive maintenance operations.AI and robotics are considered as a strong integration for automating tasks inside the factory. AI can have significant use in robotic solutions that encourages flexibility and learning capabilities. For instance, AI is a valuable tool in applications of robotic assembly. Along with advanced vision systems, AI can support real-time monitoring and controlling, which has significance in complex manufacturing sectors, such as automobile and aerospace and defense. The automobile industry constantly uses advanced technologies to bring safe, innovative, and efficient vehicles to market, while constantly reduce production costs.
Currently, these technologies comprise AI and high-performance computing. Over the decades, the industry has invested significantly in high-performance computing (HPC) systems to power modelling, design and simulation applications. The automotive manufacturers across the globe recognize that smart vehicles are the future where AI is extensively used to increase its capabilities and offer a better driving experience.One of the major instances of integration of robotics and AI is the APAS assistant mobile which is a movable and collaborative robot to conduct flexible applications in the smart manufacturing facilities. It is an intelligent robot assistant platform that can offer benefits such as fast and cost-efficient realization applications for new product variants, easy handling and intuitive operation, and high robustness.
For instance, Robert Bosch used two APAS assistant collaborative robots in the production of diesel injection systems for utility vehicles. These two robots complement a shielded laser welding station and increase the efficiency and productivity of the overall line. It provides relief to the employees involved in monotonous and repetitive job at an ergonomically challenging worksite. The effectiveness of the robot is led by machine learning capabilities, which in turn, increases the reliability of robotic platforms and thereby driving the global process automation market.
