AI software MIRAI now compatible with FANUC robots
Summary
“For the last 20 years I’ve heard companies ask for this kind of dynamic path augmentation technology repeatedly, so seeing it work is really amazing. I’ve already showed this technology to large and small manufacturers that are asking us to implement flexible robot automation faster, and unanimously, they are very interested in implementing MIRAI.” Cable plugging applications such as flat ribbon cables for the electronics industry or industrial automotive connectors typically require a high degree of flexibility to accommodate shape instability, making it a difficult task for any robot. "Grabbing a flexible part, guiding it and placing it accurately into a socket may be a trivial task for humans, but it has been basically impossible to complete for industrial robots,” Bösl said. “That’s because while robots can work tirelessly and precisely with high repeatability, they are limited in their ability to perform complex motorised processes. “Micropsi Industries working with FANUC’s robots will break new ground by making automation possible where it has never been before,” Bösl added.
