What is The Development History And Trend of Industrial Robotic Arms?

1. What is the development history and trend of industrial robotic arms?
1）Early stage (1950s-60s): At this time, the robotic arm is just a combination of simple motors, reducers and sensors, and is only used for repetitive operations of a single task.

2）Popularization stage (70s-80s): With the improvement of industrial automation and the development of computer technology, robotic arms began to be widely used in industrial production. At this point, the robotic arm is capable of more complex operations, such as assembly, welding, spraying, and more.

3）High-precision stage (90s-2000s): With the development of computer vision, sensor technology and control algorithms, the precision and reliability of robotic arms have been greatly improved. At this time, robotic arms began to be widely used in precision machining, semiconductor manufacturing, medical treatment and other fields.

4）Intelligent stage (2010s to present): With the rapid development of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and big data, the robotic arm has begun to be intelligent and autonomous, and has stronger adaptability and flexibility. The application scenarios of robotic arms have also been further expanded, including logistics, metal processing, food manufacturing and other fields.

2. In the future, the development trend of industrial robotic arms mainly includes the following aspects:

1）Improvements in precision and speed: With the continuous upgrading of sensors, control algorithms and drive technology, the precision and speed of robotic arms will continue to improve, enabling them to complete higher-level and more complex tasks.

2）Intelligent and autonomous: the robotic arm will become more and more intelligent and autonomous, and automatically adjust its attitude and execution path according to the environment and task requirements to achieve more efficient production and operation

3）Multi-robot collaboration: In the future, the robotic arm will no longer be an independent work unit, but work together through the network to achieve more efficient collaboration and production

4）Modular design and openness: Modular design and openness will become the mainstream trend of future manipulator design, making it easier to customize and adapt to diverse task requirements

5）Sustainability and eco-friendliness: As people pay more attention to environmental protection and sustainability, people will be more inclined to sustainable and friendly development in the future.
