Improved Sensors and AI Revolutionize Robotic Intelligence (.PDF Download)

Robots aren’t new—they’ve been improving manufacturing productivity for decades. And as that trend continues, new applications are being discovered. While factory automation will remain the primary application, whole new classes of robots are emerging thanks to several technological advances.

Two primary developments—more sophisticated sensors and artificial intelligence (AI) with machine learning (ML)—are driving the creation of the next generation of robots. Here’s a summary of the robotic evolution that will further assist humans to work smarter and faster.
