Industrial robotics typically come in four main types: Delta, SCARA, Cartesian, and robotic arms with 3-7 joints. These have become the standard for the industrial robot market because almost every application can be solved with one of these types.
As the demand for industrial robots grows, the type and complexity of applications being solved also grows. The question is, what happens when an application calls for features or abilities that standard off-the-shelf industrial robots can’t tackle, thus requiring a custom robotic solution?
