Teaching-less technology draws attention at special exhibition

January 20, 2018

“2nd Robodex” exhibition on the development and utilization of robots was held at Tokyo Big Sight from January 17 to 19, 2018. A total of 114,000 people visited the four exhibitions held at the same time. The technology that drew attention was the robot movements with teach-less technology.

MUJIN exhibited a robotic controller called “MUJIN Controller Pickworker.” A demonstration of the loading of loosely stacked workpieces into the machining center was given (=photo). “Our unique motion planning AI allows you to easily pick up bulk works in deep boxes with a teach-less style,” a spokesperson said.

Yaskawa Electric also exhibited “YASKAWA Planning”, which reduces the burden of teaching. By inputting the starting point of work, the position of the workpiece, and other conditions, the operation program between the starting point and other conditions is automatically generated.

Kitagawa Iron Works also exhibited a robotic hand “Rotational Delivery Gripper RLG”, capable of delivering workpieces while turning the spindle of the lathe. The exhibitors displayed the latest robot-related products.
