Atlas automates sequencing
Part sequencing is a crucial logistics task in automotive manufacturing, ensuring the correct parts are arranged in order for vehicle assembly. Since multiple car models and trim levels are built on the same production line, installers rely on properly sequenced parts to maintain efficiency.
The engine covers and other parts are sorted from supplier containers into dollies, which are then placed adjacent to the assembly line so that employees may easily access them.
The complexity of part sequencing is a problem that traditional automation finds difficult to solve, and Atlas 2.0 is made to tackle it. The humanoid robot must perform a variety of pick, carry, and place tasks while independently manipulating thousands of pieces of different weights, sizes, and shapes.
