ABB Robotics - Fanta Can Challenge- Level II - Superior Motion Control 

It's amazing how this was uploaded in 2009.

i have a feeling this will get to everyone’s recommendation again

Impressive for 2010 and still relevant

The accuracy of this robot (IRB 140) is 0.03mm (30 microns) Our smallest robot (IRB 120) has an even better accuracy of 0.01mm (10 microns).

*The programmers that wrote the robot-control-programs are AWESOME!*

No sensors or camera involved in this one. Pure control by some really cool & clever, but easy to use, software.

It's been a while since I've heard 80's electronic techno. Thanks, ABB! =D

For anyone taking electrical engineering will understand how difficult it is to achieve that amount of motion control. Amazing job to the developers of ABB industrial robots.

0:23 yes youtube keeps suggesting these types of videos

My 12 yr old son Angelo told me he is going to study Robotics as an elective going into 7th Grade. So I purchased shares of ABB for him. I told him the company is the world leader in Robotics and Electric Charging Stations for the EV industry 😉. I also recommended that he watch the videos here on ABB's achievements thus far.

Cave Johnson, we're done here.

it took me a while to figure out that this was uploaded 11 years ago

I programmed and maintained robots from 2000-2017 using Fanuc and ABB and I was most impressed with the ease of programming ABB's and I absolutely love the motion control, the fact that RobotStudio uses the same motion planner, so what you see in simulation is exactly what you get in the real world; and, I love accuracy.

The voice-over is just perfect for that video. I work by Peugeot which uses ABB robots, I could watch them working for hours.

I love watching these robotics videos!

I feel sorry for the staff in the fanta factory. The lets circle some tins with a stick department must fear for their jobs after seeing this!

RESPECT for all the engineers and programmers!

@MrGodOfBeer Appreciate your positive comments. Glad you like our robots.

Simply fantastic! The timing between the robots is very useful in complex operations.

If I ever need a robotic arm, I know exactly where I'll go

ABB robots are truly amazing, i work with a ABB IRB 2600 and an IRB 1400, with welding gear, superb speed and accuracy.

Really fantastic work done by ABB Robotics

Great. Glad you like our robots. Lots of people do.

These are incredible.

WoOoW :) I'm an engineer and I feel what you mean by " this is our strength " , It's amazing .. Great work , Keep it on and share videos with Us please :)

Awesome!!

Best Fanta Ad ever.

Amazing !

I want one of these in my living room now.

abb : have you ever see such fast moving industrial robots? me : well. I don't spend much time waching industrial robots in the first place.

I love the controller of ABB. You have a cool joystick (not like the 6D mouse on KUKA's controllers, which needs some time to get used to) and a great touchscreen. Not to mention the UI and it's simplicity. I don't know how ABB's previous controllers looked like but I sure as hell am tired of the old Reis and KUKA ones. LOL The amount of buttons on Reis' controllers (old ones) is h-u-g-e. Great demo! Love it!

Funny and very cumbersome to program! Need to have the patience of Job!

Just saw that it was uploaded 13 years ago--probably 2009-2010. So ABB had began working on this maybe even 5years before that? Amazing amazing stuff!!

I come back for the music and of course the "SUPERIOR MOTION CONTROL"

I'm a fan!

Super impressed

Very impressive!

Awesome.

Impressive.

ingenious!

My university has two of these and I’ve had the privilege to learn and program on one of them.

i saw this live in stockholm, its really amazing and seems not so hard to program.. amazing fast and accurate servos! wish i had one for the dishes..

now that's worth bragging about... they have come a long long ways with these robots... and I don't know why there isn't more being done with robots in production, cuz they truly have a great accuracy..

It's ABB's interpretation of "Yes we can!" :-D Get it? CAN!!! :-D

This video demonstrates an excellent static accuracy. I'm looking forward to see comparable dynamic accuracy, i.e. robots juggling things. In that case you can't just slow things down but you must apply apply control to a dynamic system that self-evolves over time.

After my study as machine constructor, I really want to work here! Thats just so fantastic! Lucien Nüesch thats whete we work next! Ab nach Bade hehe ;)

awesome!!!

It looks like a very heavy robot, but obviously it is not. Lightweight, precise and very flexible. Just Amazing

Well I'm impressed.

Wonderful

Take ALL my money right now, I want all of these things in my garage right now, PLAY TIME !

fantastic .....

@Jourei91 Good question. A typical application for this type of accurate motion control would be in dispensing glue or waterjet/lazer cutting. These applications require a combination of speed & path accuracy. The beauty of the ABB motion control (based on TrueMove & QuickMove functionality) is thay you can program your path and test at low speeds & you then get the same path in production - regardless of speed settings. This makes programing fast & easy.

It's amazing how this was uploaded in 1932

i was working with one in Delphi (Poland) of those they're amazing !

This is fantastic. These are like the exotic dancers at a strip joint for engineers.

Superb.

Guy in the bottom is like "Stop fighting guys!"

fantastic I like it

brilliant videos

gorgeous !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

WoW .... So Nice ...

@Alex Kinley We have never tried with Pepsi but I feel sure it will be alright. Let's say the Challenge is "can independant"

These robots never leave the club alone.

so good

very nice

I flippin' love the soundtrack - "Yeah totally rad! Orchestral hits! ZAP!" ^^ Impressive engineering though!

Wow!

it's amazing what a bunch of geek can do with three robot and some drink cans, i just wanna be this geek in a future ^^!!

Electrical servo systems x 6 are used with feedback from encoders. Same control code used on all robots but with math modified to suit robot type.

My son (2 years old) love watching this video

@wouter249 Good question. The robots can do more than just run predetermined paths - but of course you need to have some kind of inputs, from sensors like cameras or force sensors, and you need to instruct them how to react to those inputs. I guess the "baseball bat balancing" task might represent a challenge.

If I ever have the money or need to buy one of those fancy robotic arms I will probably contact you guys, that's impressive.

Kuka has cuter arms. Hehe! In all fairness, ABB and Kuka are neck and neck with performance and accuracy. I still am simply amazed on how far we've come.

I really love how they looks like. I'd like to sculpt a sci-fi humanoid robot based on shape of these robotic arms.

I don't know what I'd do with one of these, but i'd love one.

Amazing, now bring in the Fanta Girls.

You are right. The distance between the cans is more like a cm. The speaker talks about 1mm distance between the pin and the can.

Am i the only one who would buy a robot for personal use xD this is epic im so happy i choose to study automation instead of car maintenance or something similar THIS is crazy and the video was published in 2009!!!!!! it 10 YEARS AGOOO!!!!

I work with three robots one is made in 1998 the other in 1999 and the last in 2002, all of them preform perfectly, so i would say they are reliable, since there was no major errors or malfunctions.

mind boggling....

Could you develop simple swivels to move the lower KG handling ones in space, or which one would you choose to mount a 4kg one to the end of?

This practice was conducted at the Technical University of torreon fanta but not this one hundred percent inspired by her video greetings from Torreon Coahuila Mexico waited to see it and give me an opinion

impressive

If it's done the way I think it is, they kinda are tracking the movement of the lower arms, just not with cameras. I haven't used Kuka, but with other control systems you can define moving reference systems. The guy would program the path around the cans while the lower arms stay still. While they do their moves they update the reference system in the upper arms. It's still quite impressive they're able to update this quickly.

thats a grooovy 3way

nice fanta commercial:))

best motion control manufacturing

great..

FANTAASTIC.

11 years later. The robots still haven't been able to drink any Fanta.

I have done this programming so many times.

Kid: Hey mom look what I can do! Kid:

Wow, impressive, and that was more than 11 years ago.

@mattii0381 Only one controller on this system. Its capable of controlling 4 robots or 36 axes in all. This system does not interact with a signal - but it could if we needed to.

There is a meme here at the beginning just waiting to be born.

@bluehomme7 Of course the laws of Physics limit the speed path rules. And yes the robots are built rigid to withstand the huge acceleration loads.

쩔어~~~~!!!!!

I like the idea that with the knife / hand stab test that someone mentioned. Il ask if we can do something similar with the IRB360 that is a lot quicker than the IRB140 together with a switch blade knife and a human hand (not mine to start with)

..... Wow you caught onto that? ......Ok I'm sorry, I was being antagostic and apologize. I really thought I'd catch someone in an argument XD Great job.
