Loading the interactive cellThe work today
Most industrial robots keep doing the one task they were first programmed for. The next change is an engineer, a rewrite, and an arm that isn’t running.
The grasp and the place were taught on a part that is no longer the one in front of the arm.
The program still describes the cell as it was.
The routine is close to the new job. The cell stays down until someone proves it.
