<p><strong>YuMi® - Creating an automated future together.</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>The new era of robotic co-workers is here. YuMi® is the result of years of research and development, making collaboration between humans and robots a reality, but it is also much more.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>ABB has developed a collaborative, dual arm, small parts assembly robot solution that includes flexible hands, parts feeding systems, camera-based part location and state-of-the-art robot control. YuMi is a vision of the future. YuMi will change the way we think about assembly automation. YuMi is “you and me”, working together to create endless possibilities. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>With the creation of collaborative robots—robots that can safely work directly with humans due to their inherent safety—we have seen a dramatic shift in robot usage. Robots now work in many smaller scale laboratories and workshops, instead of being confined to large factories, and thus are often constantly reprogrammed to fulfill new tasks. In this setting, the method for programming <em>must</em> be quick and easy-to-use. In this presentation David will introduce a new programming interface for industrial robots that, compared to traditional approaches, is approximately 20% easier-to-use, 30% easier-to-learn, and leaves users 35% more satisfied. We will see, <strong><em>via live audience participation demonstrations</em></strong>, just how easy it can be to program an industrial robot.</p>
