By Elizabeth Montalbano – The stage has been set for competitors to vie for a $2 million prize from the Department of Defense to develop a robot that could perform a number of physical tasks that might be required to respond to a disaster or an emergency as part of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency’s Robotics Challenge, which DARPA unveiled last October.

ABB has captured over 30% share of the UK market for industrial robots in the first three months of 2010, according to results available from the British Automation and Robot Association (BARA). The leading market share continues from that achieved in 2009 when ABB took 36% across the entire year. ABB says that the figure is significant as it is not a result of any spike created through one major project. Within ABB, only one other country sold more robots in 2009 than 2008, an encouraging sign of the much publicised green shoots of recovery are showing in UK manufacturing, and that manufacturers are seeing the benefits of automation in building long term competitiveness.

n the past it was fairly easy to determine whether a PLC or a DCS was right for an application but in recent years this has become more difficult. It is argued that more powerful PLC product coupled with the new software tools provide an integrated process control system rivaling a Distributed Control System (DCS) for process control applications. The architecture of a PLC and DCS system look strikingly similar on a system layout drawing with the same basic components: field devices, input/output modules, controllers, and Human Machine Interface (HMI).

The android robot has four sensors under the skin of the left arm. Only four sensors can measure the touch strength all over the left arm surface. These sensors of tactile enable various touch communications.

ABB actively promotes the use of industrial robots in manufacturing; but it is also 'walking the talk' by using them to manufacture its own products. Robots have made a major impact on the productivity, safety and success of manufacturing industries. They are primarily used for welding, material handling and moving products around the factory safely, but they also offer reliability; tirelessly carrying out highly repetitive tasks, sometimes in hazardous environments, and improving safety in the work place.
