PROJECT DESCRIPTION
With the incoming Industry 5.0, manufacturing priorities would shift and focus more on flexible manufacturing, as products become highly personalised. Flexibility brings reduced iteration costs, greater customisation.
Â
Autonomous robots are highly effective to accomodate such flexible manufacturing, as robots are more efficient than human works for repetitive and strenuous tasks, and could be quickly reprogrammed for new layouts and processes.
Â
Although there exists autonomous robots in the current market, omnidirectional autonomous robots are typically very expensive, may not carry more than 200kg and meet cleanroom standards at the same time.
