Robots and Machine Vision in Packaging

Abstract

It may have just one hand, and much less dexterity than the manual operator, but the typical robot being installed is performing tasks which were not possible to automate just a few years ago. Tedious manual operations are being replaced, with their users experiencing reductions in labour costs, worker injuries and related employer's liability exposure. The new robot is a smart, fast, pick‐and‐place device which frees workers to do other tasks.
