 Moving large, heavy parts has typically required large,
heavy robots, but that paradigm is changing. Human-scale robots can work in a
space designed for a person and use human tools, which allows them to manage
large, heavy parts the same way people do. This type of robot integration will require making robot programming
relatively easy, emulating the 22 degrees of freedom of a human hand, and
increasing the speed at which robots learn. Some of these challenges have been
overcome, or nearly so, as this Industry Week article describes.
