Apart from the appealing editing, the resulting sheetmetal parts are attrocious, and the speed is horrendous. Good(?) for very early prototyping and nothing more. Where is AI used by the way?...

[@pittwaymaina4759]

Don't hate too much, I also wondered where the AI is used, maybe coordinating the tips and adjusting the pressure applied where thickness and stress change. By the way, they produce some nice parts, check out more of their products, they even make faces 😲

@@pittwaymaina4759 I am just objective and know a bit about manufacturing. The video was nice in itself, so no hate.

[@spiral.stories]

@@constantinosschinas4503 I think we could've highlighted the AI use in the video better. Thank you for watching though.

​@@pittwaymaina4759 Smarter Every Day did a video and yes that was one of the applications of AI that they talked about. It's a complex inverse kinematic control problem to have 2 robots applying a specific angle and pressure of "pinch" against each other to draw the sheet metal out.

​@@constantinosschinas4503yeah your average servo press is gonna push out thousands of parts per day this ? Few at best.

It would be nice if there were small machine shops that you could rent out all over the country like gyms but instead of working out, you could go and make something on a mill or learn to program a robot to do stuff. I bet that could be a good way to make money.

[@spiral.stories]

Epic idea!

[@hi-gf5yl]

So like Fab labs?

[@averroussaloom893]

great video! clearly need more marketing for the videos. Shorts will be one great move!

[@jarvisconrad2348]

Brilliant. ...this is gonna be a game changer on this blue planet of ours.....Imagine designing a component and its delivered to you with orders of magnitude more precision and strong materials at a cheaper price... Bravo bro ..

I worked for white metal die casting shop. They were trying out robotics. It was too slow for the multi station drill process. But we’re great in the die casting area. I was an inspector at that time. Castings usually came on a conveyor in tubs. But they were trying to eliminate steps and transport. So there were some where we inspected them at the machine. In one instance they had two small machines with robots grabbing them and drop them in a tub to be inspected. One poor older guy was blind in one eye. And while he was looking at one casting the robot came from his blind side and clocked him knocking him to his knees. It was pretty upsetting. Later we joked about rock em sock em robots. But it wasn’t good.

Wow, phenomenal video!

[@spiral.stories]

Thank you so much brother!

[@MickeyD2012]

So, what I hear is, they don't want YOU to own a factory. Or your own equipment.

[@jhonsnow4116]

Great, I wanted to understand this company and its technology

[@carmatic]

now the question is, how difficult is it for these robots to build more of their own? there is a lot more to a modern piece of machinery than sheet metal... especially when you include the cost....

[@omnianti0]

the argument is a hand worker can make shield and sword then the robot demontrate to be able to make shield

[@TricksterJ97]

The machine which can make everything will never be as good at making a specific item as a machine designed specifically to make that same item.

In short, this is stupid, not efficient, slow. Our management implemented a robotic line in production, replacing highly paid and qualified workers. Results? Production slowed down by 15-18 percent.

AI OPEN BORDER YOU HAVE OR WILL BE REPLACED NO ONE IS IMMUNED FROM THIS WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO PROBABLY NOTHING EXEPT WHINE AND COMPLAIN ABOUT IT 🤔😅
