AI AND ROBOTICS: THE CHALLENGES AND THE OPPORTUNITIES

摘要

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been the subject of considerable hype for several years, but is industry now ready to move to the next stage and focus on how it can be sustainably implemented on the factory floor in robotics and industrial automation applications? Omron has highlighted four key artificial intelligence (AI) trends that it is seeing in robotics and industrial automation: Valuable machine data generated at the edge: The latest industrial automation and robotic developments in factories depend on the generation and collection of deep knowledge and data insights at machine level - i.e. at the edge. The machine can learn from its human operators and subsequently improve the output. Technology controlled by AI can empower machine learning by predicting both product and equipment failure, using data generated by Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) devices. The analysis and use of combined data enables users to rapidly predict potential machine errors, preventing disruptions and the deterioration of product quality.
