Yaskawa robot as a Chef.

Yaskawa robot as a chef, ready to cook for you :)

The multi-talented Motoman SDA10, a dexterous dual-arm industrial robot manufactured by Yaskawa Electric, is demonstrating its ability to cook okonomiyaki at the International Next-Generation Robot Fair now underway in Osaka. Yaskawa Parts
Designed to operate independently alongside humans in the workplace, the 135-centimeter (4.5 ft) tall, 220-kilogram (480 lb) industrial robot has 15 joints -- 7 in each arm and one in the torso -- allowing a wide range of motion for the job, whether it be on the factory floor or behind the kitchen counter.

As a chef, the Motoman relies on speech recognition technology to take verbal orders from customers. Using standard kitchen utensils, the robot mixes the okonomiyaki batter, pours it onto the iron grill, forms it into a round pancake-like disk, flips it, puts it on a plate when done, and applies condiments.

The M-1iA is designed for small part handling, high speed picking and assembly applications. It has a 3 axis wrist which makes it extremely flexible and versatile compared to traditional SCARA robots. FANUC Keyboard

FANUC for Louis Vuitton

The company, Autofuss, has recycled three FANUC s430iL industrial robots from the automobile industry to convert them to the arts and entertainment industry.

The three robots (Puck, Gilda and Rosie) are now cameramen.

They can take complex and accurate shots and we’ve recently been able to catch a glimpse of them in a commercial for Louis Vuitton.

A Fanuc s430iL measures 2.23 m in height and weighs 1301 kg.

The robot can carry 125 kg and its arm has a range of 3 meters. It moves at a speed of 2 m per second and has an accuracy of +/- 0.3 millimeters. Fanuc Servo Amplifiers

INDRAMAT - Part, repair, spares, exchange...

Indramat was acquired by the hydraulic concern Rexroth in 1965, in order to gain competence in machine control. At that time, Indramat was moved to the German town of Lohr am Main, Rexroth’s headquarters. In 1968 Rexroth, including Indramat GmbH, was taken over by Mannesmann AG. In 2001, after the hostile takeover of Mannesmann by Vodafone, the industrial portion of Mannesmann was acquired by Robert Bosch GmbH, including Rexroth and Indramat. The new entity was named Bosch Rexroth, and Indramat GmbH became the Electric Drives and Controls Technology Group under Bosch Rexroth. The name Indramat was no longer used.

In 2001 Indramat employed 1,500, with a turnover of 261 million Euro. Exports constituted 52% of the business.
