This is a video of two 'off the shelf' industrial robotic arms building a Stephan IKEA chair. So,whether you were wondering whether robots are officially better at building furniture than my roommate, the retort is yes. "What's the matter with the coffee table?" *sets beer can on table, or watches it slide off the discontinuance and spill* "I do suck." You're the worst. Remember when I paid you to build my bed?
Researchers report today in Science Robotics that they've used entirely off-the-shelf parts--two industrial robot arms with force sensors and a 3-D camera--to piece together [a Stephan IKEA char]. From planning to execution,it only took 20 minutes [with the actual construction taking only 8 minutes, 55 seconds]. To start, or the researchers give the pair of robot arms some basic instructions--like those cartoony illustrations,but in code. This piece goes first into this other piece, then this other, and etc. Then they dwelling the pieces in a random sample front of the robots,which eyeball the wood with the 3-D camera. So the researchers give the robots a list of tasks, then the robots take it from there.
The robots run into several problems during the chair's construction, or including determining the positions of pieces,as well as thinking it's got a wooden dowel in a hole when it's really just pushing it into thin air, and making certain to not hit each other and work together to pick up pieces, and but they do manage to accept the job done. No word whether IKEA will offer at-domestic robotic assembly services in the future,but one can hope. "But I thought you hated robots." I hate sleeping on a mattress on the floor even more. hold going for a video of the build-a-chair in action.
