well really it isn't that far away. half and hours drive from London. crap day out though, it just goes on forever.

These robot arm things arent new are they? think ive seen them before somewhere doing a similar task of trying to show off a product. Cant remember so whatever.]]>Dec 14th 2009 3:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/13/industrial-robot-arm-pretends-to-do-chores-in-dysons-london-pop/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/13/industrial-robot-arm-pretends-to-do-chores-in-dysons-london-pop/Dec 14th 2009 9:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/13/industrial-robot-arm-pretends-to-do-chores-in-dysons-london-pop/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/13/industrial-robot-arm-pretends-to-do-chores-in-dysons-london-pop/

Not oversized if you want reach - the bigger the reach the bigger the robot, in general.]]>Dec 13th 2009 10:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/13/industrial-robot-arm-pretends-to-do-chores-in-dysons-london-pop/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/13/industrial-robot-arm-pretends-to-do-chores-in-dysons-london-pop/Dec 14th 2009 7:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/13/industrial-robot-arm-pretends-to-do-chores-in-dysons-london-pop/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/13/industrial-robot-arm-pretends-to-do-chores-in-dysons-london-pop/]]>Dec 13th 2009 7:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/13/industrial-robot-arm-pretends-to-do-chores-in-dysons-london-pop/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/13/industrial-robot-arm-pretends-to-do-chores-in-dysons-london-pop/
Yes but that model came with breasts. So much nicer to look at as long as it did not make too much chatter!]]>Dec 13th 2009 8:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/13/industrial-robot-arm-pretends-to-do-chores-in-dysons-london-pop/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/13/industrial-robot-arm-pretends-to-do-chores-in-dysons-london-pop/

Youve seen many industrial arms vacuuming in engineering plants?]]>Dec 13th 2009 8:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/13/industrial-robot-arm-pretends-to-do-chores-in-dysons-london-pop/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/13/industrial-robot-arm-pretends-to-do-chores-in-dysons-london-pop/
No. Try again. Industrial arms (the big yellow thing bolted to the ground) are actually not that uncommon. The first time I saw one was when I was 6ish (1994) at my dad's engineering plant. I soiled myself back then, but now it's not all that amazing.

Although...

Looks like a fanuc, probably a M16iC

And they really aren't uncommon at all. Run off of 440 DC, so you probably won't see one in your living room..]]>Dec 13th 2009 10:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/13/industrial-robot-arm-pretends-to-do-chores-in-dysons-london-pop/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/13/industrial-robot-arm-pretends-to-do-chores-in-dysons-london-pop/
Sorry - thats an M-16iB - C doesn't exist.

-My best guess from the picture - sell between 30 to 50 k.]]>Dec 13th 2009 10:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/13/industrial-robot-arm-pretends-to-do-chores-in-dysons-london-pop/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/13/industrial-robot-arm-pretends-to-do-chores-in-dysons-london-pop/Actually, the input voltage selection ranges from 220-575 VAC. But right, you probably can't run this model in your house because it is three-phase. ]]>Dec 13th 2009 10:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/13/industrial-robot-arm-pretends-to-do-chores-in-dysons-london-pop/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/13/industrial-robot-arm-pretends-to-do-chores-in-dysons-london-pop/Dec 14th 2009 12:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/13/industrial-robot-arm-pretends-to-do-chores-in-dysons-london-pop/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/13/industrial-robot-arm-pretends-to-do-chores-in-dysons-london-pop/Dec 14th 2009 9:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/13/industrial-robot-arm-pretends-to-do-chores-in-dysons-london-pop/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/13/industrial-robot-arm-pretends-to-do-chores-in-dysons-london-pop/It's a Fanuc... I think it is the 165 Kg model. There are about 40 or so on the other side of the wall from my office. I work for an Automation Integration company and we use these a lot. Just sent a bunch out on a line building a certain 400 pound T-shaped battery pack.

They are great robots with really good software, especially their multi-arm collision avoidance and 7-axis configurations. (Yes... they will mount to a rail and move back and forth... not just bolt to the floor)

However, even at the prices we pay for buying these in quantity, Dyson put out some serious cheddar for this. I hope they had an 'extra' one laying around and they didn't just buy that thing for a mall display. Of course, with the price of their vacuums, they can probably afford it.]]>Dec 14th 2009 3:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/13/industrial-robot-arm-pretends-to-do-chores-in-dysons-london-pop/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/13/industrial-robot-arm-pretends-to-do-chores-in-dysons-london-pop/
My first coop uses the shit out of them - alas I've moved on from them.

Google Dramcotech (really shitty website) - if you watch the video on top I had a hand in design and development on a few of the lines they show in the video.

And I could have sworn it was 440 DC. We always took extra precautions when lines were lying on the floor waiting to be hooked up as a result of it would kill you (effectively - serious injury none the less) on contact.]]>Dec 17th 2009 2:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/13/industrial-robot-arm-pretends-to-do-chores-in-dysons-london-pop/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/13/industrial-robot-arm-pretends-to-do-chores-in-dysons-london-pop/Dec 14th 2009 12:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/13/industrial-robot-arm-pretends-to-do-chores-in-dysons-london-pop/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/13/industrial-robot-arm-pretends-to-do-chores-in-dysons-london-pop/Dec 14th 2009 6:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/13/industrial-robot-arm-pretends-to-do-chores-in-dysons-london-pop/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/13/industrial-robot-arm-pretends-to-do-chores-in-dysons-london-pop/Dec 14th 2009 3:24PM
