How Polyfunctional Robots are Revolutionizing Industrial Automation and Everyday Life

Polyfunctional Robots Empower Industrial Automation and Daily Life

Polyfunctional robots are leading the way in both industrial automation and daily life. By performing multiple tasks, they are replacing specialized robots, improving efficiency and profitability. According to Gartner, 80% of people will interact with smart robots daily by 2030, a significant jump from less than 10% today.

Enhancing Efficiency: The Role of Polyfunctional Robots in Automation

The Role of Motors in Robotic Construction

Motors are the core of robotic systems. They drive movement and control, enabling even complex tasks like medical surgeries. The choice of motors and their drive solutions largely determines a robot’s precision, speed, and overall performance.

Energy Efficiency and Intelligence for Polyfunctional Robots

Polyfunctional robots must handle diverse tasks, requiring excellent energy efficiency for sufficient operating time. Switching seamlessly between tasks also demands a high level of intelligence. To meet these needs, robots must balance compact size with task complexity. As a result, motor drive technology must excel in energy efficiency, intelligence, and integration.
