Robot intelligence augmented by information technology

Intelligent robots make it possible to automate advanced assembly tasks by using simple peripheral devices alone, thus achieving high automation ratio and payability. Also they are capable of considerably lowering expenses per hour and heighten competitiveness at factories as they extend the operating time of facilities by enabling unmanned operation during overtime and/or on holidays by means of sensor-based multiple checking. Furthermore, the level of intelligent functions that robots are provided can be further augmented by making use of information technology (IT).
