Industrial robots take on dangerous tasks

Robots have long been associated with automotive assembly lines. But industrial robotics extends to other manufacturing applications as well. From defense to aerospace, robots are helping to improve safety, efficiency and accuracy for all kinds of manufacturers.

Labor shortages and workplace safety are ripe for robotics and automation systems. The old adage of robots in “dull, dirty and dangerous” has never been more pertinent than today. Hardware and software advancements, coupled with innovations in manufacturing-related processes are expanding the need and demand for automation.

In this Special Focus Issue, we’ll explore automation applications for automotive and industrial manufacturing. We’ll learn about different types of robots, such as robot arms, cobots and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), and what workflows those robots can integrate into. We’ll also look at inspection, monitoring and other opportunities where robots can improve safety in hazardous and dangerous environments.

In this Special Focus Issue: 

  • How sustainability drives ABB’s automotive automation technologies
  • Flybotix closes $10M Series A to accelerate growth of drone-based confined-space inspection technology
  • Universal Robots unveils UR8 Long cobot for space-constrained automation tasks at FABTECH 2025
  • ...And more
