KUKA KR 1000 strongest in the world

KUKA KR 1000 strongest in the world
For a robot, that is. KUKA Robotics from Germany recently unveiled the KR 1000 titan 6-axis robot that comes with a grand total of 9 motors that work together to deliver the power of a mid-sized car, which means it can handle a payload capacity of one ton. The KR 1000 has a reach of up to 3.2 meters and can withstand a static torque of 60,000 newton meters (Nm). Ideally, the Titan can be used to briddge distances of up to 6.5 meters to handle large objects such as engine blocks, stone, glass, steel sections, and concrete parts precisely. I definitely wouldn't want to have an arm wrestling match with this robot.

On a recent tour of the Audi factory in Neeustadt, Germany, I saw hundreds of these Kuka robots building cars. It's just incredible - Something that any geek would love. They've almost got personalities and the precision that they can perform tasks with is staggering. They pick up sides of cars and join them to chassis, put windscreens on, apply glue etc. Apparently the average cost of one of these is around 1M Euros and it can run 24/7 for around 13 years without needing to be serviced. Incredible.
