The EU-funded SARAFun project has unveiled a smart solution for non-expert users to easily integrate new bimanual tasks into robotic systems. This can significantly expand production capabilities in the manufacturing industry, dramatically increasing production speed, while taking on tedious assembly line jobs.
During the last few decades, humans have increasingly relied on robots to perform a variety of tasks. Robots have been extensively used in production lines for tasks such as car assembly. However, despite their widespread success, automatic assembly still suffers from the time it takes to programme and reprogramme robots.
