On this episode of Advanced Manufacturing Live, Ole Marius Hoel Rindal, PhD, co-founder of Sonair, will explain why most industrial robots are still caged even with increasing development of AI. Sonair has created what it says is the world's first safety-certified ultrasonic sensor. The technology may allow robots out of their cages while helping ensure human coworkers remain safe.
