Auto Industry: Robots and Onrobot Devices

auto industry: Robots until recently have been limited to precise, preprogrammed and repetitive heavy-duty jobs like automotive manufacturing, according to The Japan Times. Yet at the Rosborg Food greenhouse, the OnRobot devices adjust on the fly. For moviegoers used to seeing humanoid machines in action, that might not seem special but in truth, it is a remarkable feat. One pot might be slightly out of position. While deliveries of robots to the U.S. auto industry fell 12 percent last year, shipments to food and consumer-product companies soared 48 percent. The next might be a little heavy. ; Robots that can see, learn and grip different items are advancing quickly into the retail, food-and-beverage and consumer-packaged-good industries.
