ABB Fanta Can Challenge Level 2
Writing by Evan Ackerman on Monday, 19 of October , 2009 at 12:32 am
Last February we posted some video of a couple ABB industrial robots showing off some Fanta Can avoidance maneuvers. Level two of the challenge adds a third robot and drops the tolerance down to 1mm. That’s, like, really small. And the robots are moving, like, really fast. What ABB is demonstrating here isn’t the repeatability, or even the tolerance (which is, in fact, tighter than 1mm). Rather, it’s the fact that you can program a complex path into the robot and then bump up the speed to something inhuman without any part of the system flinching. Neat stuff.
Also, what the hell is “Exotic Thrill” flavored Fanta?
