Development and Application of Industrial Collaborative Dual-Arm Robots in Workpiece Assembly Units
Since the first industrial robotic arm, Unimation, was developed in 1961, robotic arms have been widely applied in various automated work units. These arms primarily replace human labor in highly repetitive and hazardous tasks, such as welding, material handling, loading/unloading, and simple assembly work. However, with advancements in research and production technologies, products are constantly being updated to meet diverse market demands and increase market share. As a result, high-efficiency and small-batch, multi-variety automated production has become a critical trend in modern industry.
