Manufacturing automation focuses on designing robotic systems capable of automating complex and repetitive tasks in industrial settings. By integrating AI-driven decision-making, these systems monitor and adjust processes in real-time to maintain quality and safety. For instance, collaborative robots (cobots) can work alongside humans, performing tasks such as assembly and quality inspection with unparalleled precision. These advancements not only reduce operational costs but also mitigate workplace hazards, contributing to safer and more efficient manufacturing practices.
