The new collaborative-robot from\u00a0Rethink Robotics\u00a0<\/a><\/strong>(<\/a>Boston USA) is now a reality and its name is\u00a0Sawyer. Cousin of Baxster (the first best seller cobot of the company) is on a whole year now.<\/p>\nIt can perform almost every existing action in production\u00a0under any circumstances. It offers unique characteristics, such as:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Force Sensing,<\/li>\n
- Embedded Vision<\/li>\n
- 7 Degrees of Freedom<\/li>\n
- Flexible<\/li>\n
- Fully guaranteed<\/li>\n
- Stability in character<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Morover he gets no fatigue, he is not careless, he stays focused 24\/7 and costs reasonably! Naturally all these characteristics are not really innovative as you may see them in other existing robots that already serve mankind. Lets see what Sawyer does.<\/p>\n
What he\u00a0does<\/h3>\n
Sawyer can perform a tremendous variety of actions, CNC machining, PBC handling and ICT, metal fabrication, packaging, molding operations, test and inspection, just name it…<\/p>\n
Basically it is not what he\u00a0does, but what he\u00a0might do. The most important is that he can learn, can be taught<\/strong>!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Where is he different?<\/h3>\n
The main advantage of Sawyer is that he is a very good learner, an easy learner. Exactly the same you teach an intern you mau teach Sawyer. No need for thousands lines of code in order to be programmed to execute an action. He just watch, learn and execute! Via\u00a0Intera 5<\/a>\u00a0software things become extremely simple and automatation gets in another level.<\/p>\n
What does this mean to a worker?<\/h3>\n
Thiings are becoming interesting now. At the late 1900s a similar discussion took place in agriculture. Of course horses faced the biggest problem. History proved them right!\u00a0Something similar will trouble human soon enough.<\/p>\n
Human race always invented tools in order to produce faster, easier, cheaper and in larger quantities.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Jobs that need struggling or can endanger humans are the first where\u00a0machines already outplaced humans(for instance agriculture).<\/p>\n
What about professions of responsibility or specialties;<\/h3>\n
Talking about teachers, accountants, lawyers, cooks doctors etc. These professions seem the last to fall. Nevertheless it is inevitable that machine learning and development will bring unimaginable changes even in these sectors.<\/p>\n
Lets take for instance the accountants. They know perfectly the taxation system, they keep track of the finances of their clients and they consult them. What exactly of these will not be a machine capable to perform?<\/p>\n
