ABB Robotics' Taiwanese team recently exhibited at the 2015 Taipei International Automation Exhibition.
Cleverly, they created a demo in which YuMi, the world's first truly collaborative and inherently safe dual arm industrial robot, shows off its dexterity by making paper airplanes. Of course, YuMi is a serious industrial robot meant to address the real challenges in small parts assembly, but demos like this are a fun way to show YuMi's skills. YuMi has a completely integrated control unit, can be lifted and moved by two people, has two 7 axis arms, comes with servo grippers, can accommodate suction grippers, has an option for a hand-integrated vision system, is completely safe for humans to work next to without safety caging, is incredibly accurate, and has a relatively fast maximum movement speed of 1500 mm/s.
Needless to say, this demo was a huge hit with the crowds. It's also pretty fun to watch. Enjoy!
