Dual Arm Robot Assembly with Adaptive Robot Gripper

During the Technishow 2012 which was recently held in the Netherlands, our partner Robomotive presented a fantastic demo of a Motoman dual arm robot performing the assembly of cart wheels. As you can see in the video below, the robot is using our Adaptive Gripper at the end of each of its arms to pick up various parts and tools used in the assembly of the wheels. I like the video because it shows in many different ways how the assembly of small volume manufacturing products could be automated using flexible tools.
