Automated robotics are the best way to mimic a human in a factory environment, experts say. A robot's automated camera could replace a person's eyes, a PC would represent the brain and robotic arms are movement — like "a human replacement that doesn't get tired or moody," says Adrian Ng, senior sales, Cortex Robotics Sdn Bhd.
"We tend to use a broad definition of automated robotics in the nondestructive evaluation (NDE) community, because the range of applications for automation is itself quite broad," says Dave Seto, director of business development, UTEX Scientific.
