With light sabres, Yaskawa equipped robots. Hmmmmmm.
For this year’s IEEE International Conference on Robotics, the robotic company equipped two robotic arms with Jedi and Sith light sabres and taught them to fight. OK, maybe not to fight but it makes a nice fight choreography as shown in the video below.
This is much better than the first time Yaskawa gave Light sabers to their robots and simply made them dance (without fighting at all). The dance is shown below.
Via IEEE Spectrum.
Robotiq Gripper with Yaskawa Arms
It is always exciting to see Quebec robotic innovation. Robotiq is a Quebec company that developed a very interesting robotic gripper that can adapt to various types of objects as shown in the video below.
Even more impressive, when the Adaptive Gripper is combined with the Motoman SDA10D dual-arm robotic system by Yaskawa, the result is a very powerful robot capable of manipulating a large variety of objects very precisely. The kitting example below illustrates the system capabilities very well.
