A helping robotic hand

Epson will showcase its GX4 and GX8 Scara robots at the Robotics and Automation show in Coventry next month to highlight “simple and affordable solutions that help operations enjoy reduced production costs, improved product quality, increased workflow, and enhanced business capabilities”. Sounds great! They’re aimed at the medical, electronics and consumer electronics industries though. I’m back to wondering to what extent this industry, and the wide-format sector in particular, is likely to see wider robotic automation adopted. Feel free to enlighten me…
