过去一年,在很多方面,具有里程碑意义的year for advances in robotics. I say this because many of the predictions made in the past decade or so for industrial robotics started seeing the light of day this year in terms of broad release or public announcements. From truly adaptive robots to robotic research advances that allow robots to interact more easily with humans, 2014 has been a year marked by a great deal of what can truly be called news in the robotics field.（有关备份我的观点的几篇文章，请参阅本故事结尾的列表。）
新的公告仍在来。最近，abb宣布将首次亮相它于2015年4月推出的“世界上第一个真正的合作机器人”。
abb’s new robot, called YuMi (a name designed to convey “you and me”), is a “human-friendly dual arm robot” designed for use in manufacturing tasks such as small parts assembly, where people and robots work hand-in-hand.
根据ABB的释放，Yumi是一种协作，双臂组装机器人，具有感觉和看到的能力。“机器人的柔软，加厚的臂，结合着创新的力量传感技术，确保了Yumi的人类同事的安全。安全是机器人本身的功能，使其可以免费工作，“ABB说。
据报道，尤迪能够将机械手表的精致和精确部件的所有内容处理到手机，平板电脑和台式电脑中使用的组件。据说yumi运动的准确性是如此精确的是它可以穿针。
“Yumi将改变许多人类对制造业和工业流程的假设，”ABB离散自动化和运动部门负责人Pekka Tiitinen说：“尤伊将打开无尽的可能性。我们在工业自动化的一个非常令人兴奋的新时代开始。“
The commercial launch of YuMi is scheduled to take place on April 13, 2015, at theHannover Messein Germany.
