What sensors allow robots to work collaboratively and safely with humans?
If advanced factories strictly concentrate on the machinery without taking human beings into account, will the robots have to consume the products they build? When Henry Ford installed the first moving assembly line to mass produce an entire automobile (Dec. 1, 1913), he more than doubled the wages of assembly line workers to stabilize his […]
