Rainbow Robotics has signed a memorandum of understanding with Schaeffler Group and the Korea Electronics Know-how Institute, or KETI, to co-develop cell manipulators pushed by synthetic intelligence. Beneath the settlement, the three organizations will develop cell dual-armed robots and the corresponding operation applied sciences for autonomous manufacturing.
The businesses mentioned additionally they hope to determine new enterprise fashions to increase strategically into the worldwide market. The signing ceremony included Dr. Michael Pausch, chief expertise officer of Schaeffler’s Industrial division; Lee Jung-ho, CEO of Rainbow Robotics; and Shin Hee-Dong, president of KETI.
“Rainbow Robotics has already initiated technical improvement cooperation with Schaeffler for the event of cell dual-arm robots by way of pilot initiatives,” Jung-ho mentioned in a launch. “It’s vital for us to advance AI cell dual-arm robotic expertise with Schaeffler, a worldwide automotive and industrial equipment specialist with in depth experience, and KETI, main the analysis in AI-based manufacturing innovation expertise, to contribute to the commercialization of autonomous manufacturing within the world market.”
Be taught from Agility Robotics, Amazon, Disney, Teradyne and plenty of extra.
Trio creating robots to make use of throughout manufacturing
Beneath the settlement, Schaeffler will develop and provide key parts for the system. This consists of gearboxes for cell dual-arm robots. KETI will help the applying of AI expertise for manufacturing processes based mostly on worldwide requirements.
As well as, Rainbow Robotics might be liable for creating AI-based robotic operation methods. The firm will even oversee the manufacturing of the cell dual-arm robotic.
“By this settlement, we’ll present KETI’s expertise for the event of [an] AI, cell dual-arm robotic with Rainbow Robotics and Schaeffler Group, bolstering the creation of a profitable mannequin for world R&D,” mentioned Hee-Dong in a launch.
As a part of the collaboration, the companions plan to deploy these cell arms in manufacturing websites throughout Germany and Korea. They mentioned they hope to develop profitable use instances for autonomous manufacturing and promote joint cooperation to increase gross sales to world markets.
“Korea stands on the forefront of the robotics trade, and we’re excited to companion with Rainbow Robotics in driving developments on this space,” said Pausch. “As a number one world movement expertise firm, we’re dedicated to pushing the boundaries of innovation to create automated options that improve effectivity and contribute to the evolution of good and sustainable manufacturing processes.”
The three corporations mentioned they are going to develop AI and robotics applied sciences for use in factories throughout the complete manufacturing course of. They asserted that such expertise can sustainably enhance the manufacturing effectivity of good factories with minimal human intervention.
Rainbow Robotics, Schaeffler, and KETI gear up for cooperation
As a part of a three-day go to, Rainbow Robotics, and KETI representatives visited Schaeffler AG’s headquarters in Herzongenaurach, Germany, to additional talk about robotics element improvement.
The groups additionally visited Schaeffler’s Digital Transformation Middle and its Innovation and Know-how Centre for Manufacturing Techniques. The websites in Erlangen, Germany, are creating and demonstrating future manufacturing applied sciences.
The firm mentioned it provides progressive merchandise and methods within the discipline of movement expertise. These embrace high-precision parts and methods for a number of automotive and industrial functions.
Specifically, the Schaeffler mentioned it focuses on increasing good and digital automation methods. It claimed to be a number one supplier of precision parts and methods for industrial and light-weight robotics.
In the meantime, Rainbow Robotics is pursuing its leap into a number one robotic platform specialist within the world robotic market. The South Korean firm, which has workplaces in Schaumburg, Sick., mentioned its robots have “world-class high quality, Korean-style service, and cheap costs” as a part of its technique.
