Mercedes-Benz will entrust the quality check of parts to robots

The Apollo of the American company Apptronik began to work at the Berlin factory Mercedes-Benz. Their tasks include internal logistics, primary quality testing and repeating the same type of production processes on the line. People help in teaching robots – for this, telematics and augmented reality technology are used.

The Apollo robot is comparable to the average man in size: its height is 170 centimeters, and the mass is 73 kilograms. The robot can lift up to 25 kilograms and theoretically capable of participating in the process of welding and assembly, as well as move automobile parts.

According to CarsCoops with reference to Mercedes-Benz, people should not be afraid for their jobs-robots will not be replaced, at least for now. Now Apollo moves equipment and components between the lines, and people are already collecting them into a single whole. The robots are also responsible for the initial check of the quality of the parts before installation.

Earlier, Mercedes-Benz, Yorg Burtzer, the production director of production, said that despite the use of robots, the plant “still needs first-class workers who shoulder all the complexity of the accompanying tasks when assembling cars.” At the same time, he added that the company considers the possibility of using Apollo robots not only on the assembly conveyor, but also for other purposes.
