Artificial intelligence AI paves way for autonomous gripping
Industrial handling will be reinvented in the years ahead, says Prof. Dr. Markus Glück, Managing Director Research & Development (CINO) at SCHUNK. In the past, each step was elaborately programmed. However, tomorrow's handling solutions will act far more independently. The market is already demanding gripping systems that are quickly and easily to set up and automatically adapt to varying gripping situations. Also, collaboration between humans and robots are rapidly becoming more important. More... |
