Industrial Manipulator

Industrial manipulators, robotic arms used in manufacturing and other industries, are undergoing significant advancements driven by the need for greater flexibility, safety, and efficiency. Current research focuses on improving motion planning algorithms (e.g., A*, Model Predictive Control) to handle complex tasks, incorporating sensor feedback for real-time adaptation and collision avoidance, and developing intuitive interfaces (e.g., domain-specific languages, virtual reality) for easier programming and human-robot collaboration. These improvements are crucial for enabling wider adoption of robots in diverse applications, particularly in areas requiring high precision, adaptability to changing environments, and safe interaction with human workers.
