Collaborative Robots are INSANELY cool. Are they the future of your shop? We traveled to ATI Industrial Automation to spend a week playing with their tooling and these robots to find out. The advancements in this technology are coming way faster than you think. CNC didn’t become available to the home shop until 2012 and I think the tech available for the robots means an even steeper growth curve for the collaborative robot industry. They can literally do anything and I am so excited to have one (or three) of these in my shop. I also firmly believe they aren’t taking jobs but making them faster, safer and more enjoyable. Let me know what you’d like to see next. Thanks for watching! Please like, comment and subscribe. Cheers!

Had a job years ago installing and programming robots and other automation. It was the only way we could compete with cheap products from Mexico. In the last year my wife had both knees replaced by robot. They mapped her knee with a CT scan then a robot stabilized and did the work while a surgeon just observed and made sure the robot didn’t mess up! Cut way down on healing time and the pt needed afterwards.

At the AWFS last week was full of robots about 75% of all booths were some kind of robots. They had full-size to take a full 4x8 sheet of plywood move it, cut it, put it together sand it even spray paint it. Completely automation. Than they had smaller ones that would work in a small shop & do the mundane things, sanding, painting, etc. There was even a fully automated table saw fence, you calibrate it than put in the measurement you want in any format metric to imperial, so repeatability would be very easy. Than there was a pack you would put on you and it would give you more strength and control to lesson the work load. Very very tech savvy this wood convention was, just say mind was blown.

Thanks for sharing this information. Helps me to think where I can be in business in 20 years. It seems people are divided on if this is real woodworking or not. Think about this... Imagine having a thriving business and you had an employee sanding cabinet faces all day. Do you consider that "real woodworking"? Why not let a robot do it. Also do you not use power tools? It's funny people complaining like they use hand tools for everything in the shop. Contact are good for future of small shops but I think it's about 30-50 years away for average woodworker

Anyone who runs a small production business should jump at the chance to buy one of these when the upfront costs are affordable enough to justify for their business (assuming your business isn't predicated on human hand craftsmanship). Anything that acts as a force multiplier is only going to pay itself off, and that's the whole point of tools to begin with. We didn't invent circular saws because there wasn't a way to cut wood before, we invented them because they were a way to do it better and faster and with more consistency.

Haven’t you people ever seen a movie? This is how it all ends. Seriously though, this is cool AF.

This time I might disagree with you. Like the piano tuner does the final settings to fine check the whole instrument and detect any misfunction, so does the woodworker even when performing a boring part like sanding. It's in that moment that I really check the work I did feeling each single defect, and learning from this. Just my romantic view of the thing.
