Techman Robot Partners with NVIDIA to Create Digital Twin

Techman Robot is collaborating with NVIDIA’s Isaac Sim platform to develop digital twin that enhance the efficiency of robot production line inspection. This collaboration aims to reduce robot programming time by 70% and cycle time by 20%, resulting in significant time and cost savings. Digital twin provides robust support for collaborative robots by virtually modeling their behavior and working environment. By accurately simulating the perception and actions of collaborative robots, they can be tested, optimized, and algorithmically improved within a virtual workspace, bringing about transformative changes across various industries.

Techman Robot is redefining the next generation of collaborative robots with its AI-enabled TM AI Cobot. Its standout feature lies in its built-in intelligent vision and AI capabilities, enabling precise recognition and defect detection. In a recent demonstration video showcased in collaboration with NVIDIA, Techman Robot employed its own robots for assembly and inspection tasks, leveraging AOI (Automated Optical Inspection) technology. Throughout the development process, they utilized Isaac Sim, a robot simulation application built on NVIDIA Omniverse, for testing. They also utilized NVIDIA AI and GPU for cloud-based training and inference on the robots themselves.

Techman Robot’s AOI solution distinguishes itself by directly mounting inspection cameras on robotic arms and incorporating GPUs into robot controllers. This setup allows for multi-angle detection of areas beyond the reach of fixed cameras and utilizes AI for quality inspection. According to Techman Robot’s COO, Scott Huang, “Techman Robot stands out among other robot brands due to its built-in vision system and AI inference engine. NVIDIA RTX GPUs have greatly enhanced their AI capabilities.”

Through their collaboration with NVIDIA, Techman Robot is creating digital twin to optimize design structures, test work tasks and environmental conditions, simulate work performance and processes, and redefine AI collaborative robots, bringing innovative reforms to various industries.

Techman Robot Announces its All-in-One AI Cobot Series

Merging a powerful and precise robotic arm, native AI processing, smart vision system and comprehensive software suite in a single, easily deployed package

Techman Robot has announced the introduction of its TM AI Cobot series. AI Cobot is a Collaborative Robot, which combines a powerful and precise robot arm with native AI inferencing engine and smart vision system in a complete package, ready for deployment in factories, accelerating the transition to Industry 4.0.

TM AI Cobot works on the principle of being smart, simple and safe. By combining visual processing in the robot arm, the AI Cobot can perform fast and precise pick and place, AMR, palletizing, welding, semi-conductor and product manufacturing, AOI inspections and food service preparation, among many other applications that can be accelerated by AI-Vision.

It is the only intelligent robotic arm series on the market provided with a comprehensive AI software suite. It includes TM AI+ Training Server, TM AI+ AOI Edge, TM Image Manager, and TM 3DVisionTM, allowing companies to train and tailor their system to precisely meet their application.

Techman Robot President Shi-chi Ho statement announcing the launch, “Techman Robot has redefined the future of industry robotics with the introduction of its AI Cobot series that are equipped with a native AI engine, powerful and precise robotic arm and vision system that represents a perfect combination of “brain, hands and eyes”. With our all-in-one integrated system and supporting software suite, we lead the industry with ease of integration, accelerating productivity while reinforcing quality, and opening new opportunities.”

Industry-leading 25KG Strength

Reinforcing its commitment to innovation, Techman Robot recently demonstrated its AI Cobot product series capable of 25KG payloads – an industry first – at the Taiwan Automation Intelligence and Robot Show 2022. This new model will be available at a future date.

METALEX 2022

Techman Robot will be attending this year’s METALEX 2022 in Thailand, visit us to see TM AI Cobots, we can offer you all kinds of automation solutions. With a native AI engine + robotic arm + vision system, our collaborative robot is a brilliant choice for your smart factory.

Techman Robot Establishes Smart Manufacturing Technology Education Center

Techman Robot Inc cooperated with Phoenix Contact, Festo, and Taichung City Education Bureau to establish the Taichung Smart Manufacturing Technology Education Center.

The Taichung City Education Bureau spent NT$ thousands millions Government spending since 2021 to combine Techman Robot’s AI smart vision cobot and related software and hardware, hand tool from the Phoenix Contact, and bionic machinery from Festo to co-establish the Technology Education Center. After the opening ceremony, Taichung City leverages this equipment and manpower to conduct smart manufacturing learning courses for elementary school, middle school, and high school.

How to eliminate the industry-academic gap and combine Taiwan’s technical and vocational education with global industries are the main goal of Techman Robot in recent years. For example, in 2022, Techman Robot and Taichung Industrial High School co-hosted a national smart manufacturing competition, titled “Robot Training Kit” inspired by a real use case of Continental. The purpose of this competition was to link students and industry through real use cases. And they used PBL (Problem-based learning) approach to let industries feedback to academia including teachers’ training, student education courses, and teaching design.

Techman Robot is not only deeply engaged in the field of education, but also focuses on enhancing the energy of technology R&D. Techman Robot will also fully support AI and robot automation teaching and courses, jointly enhance the teaching sources of Industry 4.0 smart manufacturing technology, and work with Taichung City Education Bureau to implement robotics technical and vocational education.
