... is teaching robots for individual tasks. This has been demonstrated by our work on our current issue's focus "Robot programming and integration".
We would also have had good material for a route twice as long in the magazine - but the topic will continue to accompany us in the next few issues.
Robots are now available at very reasonable starting prices and safety technology has also made enormous progress.

We wish you a rewarding read
