ABB Robotics – Fanta Can Challenge- Level II – Superior Motion Control

Superior motion control is the hallmark of all ABB industrial robots. In the first FANTA Can Challenge we set a test that none of our competitors could come close to. Now with the Level II challenge we have “raised the bar another notch” by introducing a THIRD robot & tightening the tolerances. The gap between the cans & pin is now only 1mm. And as always with ABB robots “What you program is what you get – AT ANY SPEED”.

Robotics is the branch of technology that deals with the design, construction, operation, structural disposition, manufacture and application of robots. Robotics is related to the sciences of electronics, engineering, mechanics mechatronics, and software

Robotics Short Story

The word robotics was derived from the word robot, which was introduced to the public by Czech writer Karel Čapek in his play R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots), which premiered in 1921.

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word robotics was first used in print by Isaac Asimov, in his science fiction short story "Liar!", published in May 1941 in Astounding Science Fiction. Asimov was unaware that he was coining the term; since the science and technology of electrical devices is electronics, he assumed robotics already referred to the science and technology of robots. In some of Asimov's other works, he states that the first use of the word robotics was in his short story Runaround (Astounding Science Fiction, March 1942). However, the word robotics appears in "Liar!"

    @ABBRobotics I study at Campinas State University – Brazil (Universidade Estadual de Campinas/UNICAMP – Brasil)
    I’m really not sure if they were bought or if they were donated, but they really look like the robots in the video.

    Actually they where donated by ABB Brazil, but they really look like the robots in the video.

  3. ABBRobotics says:

    @edugmax Which university are you studying at ???

  4. edugmax says:

    Two of these robots were donated to the university where I study Mechatronics Engineering, they work the same way as in the video, but slower, they are amazing!!

  5. uve001 says:

    Like them ? noo. . . i’m fascinated

    too bad i don’t know how to program them but i would want to learn that
    i had a italian or spanish software (i don’t know those) i was really happy when i discovered the Manual mode and how to control it with joystick :) )) but my boss wasn’t so happy with that. . .

  6. ABBRobotics says:

    Great. Glad you like our robots. Lots of people do.

  7. uve001 says:

    real one aint working propetly ?

    J/K :)

  8. uve001 says:

    i was working with one in Delphi (Poland) of those they’re amazing !

  9. ABBRobotics says:

    Electrical servo systems x 6 are used with feedback from encoders. Same control code used on all robots but with math modified to suit robot type.

  10. octaviocruz says:

    doesnt this robot need any type of encoder (sensors) or camera to know his exact position. . . . . (can you explain me a litte bit about it). . .
    If thats the case. . . does the new IRB 120 uses the exact same software to be controlled?
    im really interested on this type of info. . THANKS

  11. ABBRobotics says:

    No sensors or camera involved in this one. Pure control by some really cool & clever, but easy to use, software.

  12. andreyugolnik says:

    Is this robots synchronized by video camera? Or just controlled by software?

  13. pepparn123 says:

    Besides it’s not between the cans it’s the distance from the pin to the cans.

  14. pepparn123 says:

    why would they lie asshole?

  15. RetardRage99 says:

    if i ever save the president from terrorists i want my reward to be a bionic dick made by that company

  16. pmrb1984 says:

    holy shit!!!!. . . .

  17. spankbutt123 says:

    lol

  18. JerryGruszecki says:

    i like how they did this slow motion and speed it up after , very impressive heh

  19. TokRaSC says:

    CNC is not a robot

  20. TokRaSC says:

    @ZeiglerProductions Max. 1 day :-) but in normal 3 hours

  21. JeefCakes says:

    fuck humans

  22. Ree1981 says:

    It’s been a while since I’ve heard 80′s electronic techno. Thanks, ABB! =D

  23. jacarto says:

    They’re going to conquer the world. And then, slave the mankind to produce more and more fanta cans. It’s a fact.

  24. jfernandmy says:

    It looks like a very heavy robot, but obviously it is not. Lightweight, precise and very flexible. Just Amazing

  25. cajunhillbilly says:

    Lots of L and J moves!
    I wish I could program that in one hour!
    Although I am in training.
