On July 9, 2018, the prestigious Red Dot Awards ceremony was held at the Aalto Theater in Essen, Germany, and the prestigious "Red Dot Planning Award" 2018 was presented. ABB and Kawasaki Heavy Industries, two global companies in the field of industrial automation and robotics, today announced that they will jointly research and promote the development of collaborative robots, especially dual-arm collaborative robots. This international collaboration will be officially launched today.
As the world's leading collaborative robot company, the two sides will continue to produce and sell their own products independently, but will open up collaborations in areas such as skills development and concept promotion, including the benefits of collaborative automation to policymakers, non-governmental arrangements and the general public, as well as the development of general-purpose career solutions in areas such as safety, programming, and communication.
As many occupations change from large-scale production to multi-variety and low-volume customization, the production process presents more changes and more manual intervention, so the collaboration between humans and robots, machines and processes has become more and more important. Collaborative automation allows humans and robots to do their best – humans are responsible for providing process knowledge, experience, and solutions to what is needed, while robots are capable of heavy repetitive tasks.
ABB is the largest robotics company in Europe, and Kawasaki is one of the well-known industrial giants in Asia, so the cooperation between the two is also a cross-regional collaboration. "In addition to the rapid changes in the robotics profession, we also need to explore new forms of collaboration and develop universal career solutions in the areas of security, programming and communication," said Sided Nie, Global Head of Robotics at ABB. ”
Yasuhiko Hashimoto, executive officer and general manager of Kawasaki Robotics Division, said, "Collaborative robots, especially two-arm collaborative robots, can make a significant contribution to society and help address labor shortages and an aging population. There's a lot of potential to expand collaborative use and processes, and the combination of human ingenuity and skills can create new solutions. "I'm excited to see ABB and Kawasaki leading this trend together to develop friendlier and more advanced collaborative automation solutions." ”
As a leader in collaborative automation, ABB has launched the world's first dual-arm robot that truly completes human-robot collaboration. YuMi makes it possible for humans and robots to work together to complete processes such as the installation of small electronic products.
Kawasaki Heavy Industries' unique innovative product, the Dual-Arm Horizontal Articulated Robot (SCARA) duAro, not only combines a wealth of professional knowledge, but also works with human safety at work.
The result of this collaboration is a two-arm collaborative robot demonstration workstation that will make its debut at the Japan International Robot Expo (IREX) in Tokyo from November 29 to December 2, 2017, with booths IR3-56, IR5-22 and SR-82.
