Robot Gripper

Summer vacation is on its way and you think you'll take a break from your job, ...relax, go to the beach, play with the kids and not think about robotics... Really?

For those who are anxious about doing a deep robotic relapse during the summer holidays, we have prepared an easy robotic reading list from our blog articles. Short, easy to read, they will be the perfect reading for when the kids take their afternoon nap and they will help you make it through your holidays. 

Enjoy ;)


 

LUGGAGE PACKAGING SOON TO BE A ROBOT TASK?

It is Day 1 of your vacation and your are rushing to pack everything for your week at the beach with the kids running everywhere because they are so excited about going on vacation. And you are saying to yourself "Man, it is my first day off, can I just take it easy. It would be so great to leave all this to a robot and just have some fun." See the demo featuring the 3-Finger Adaptive Gripper that Yaskawa set-up at their Robot Plaza - an exhibition center in Yaskawa's Japanese headquarters. Maybe your dream will soon come true! Watch video>

DEALING WITH HIGH-MIX AUTOMATION 

You are playing LEGO with your kids on a rainy day and you are wondering how you could automate the process of that high-mix of parts when you return from vacation. Don't get nervous, just take a look at our new 2-finger electric robot gripper that we launched in May. Watch the video, download the spec sheet and relax for the rest of your vacation. See video>
