    What model of arm was being used here? Because the article makes no mention and actually talks about a robot, so that sounds like something else than this “arm” you speak of.

    There are more to robots than just “robotic arms”…. And to claim that those all have the features of a very specific model is quite frankly asinine.

      In any industrial context, a “robot” is short for robotic arm. Those things you see in footage of automotive factories.

      They also don’t have any kind of AI. It’s just a regular (if specialized) computer in control.

        That’s just unequivocally wrong a robot is any complicated machine that can do a task. A palletizer is a type of robot and has zero arms.

        And yeah they can have Ai or not, don’t change well established industry definitions to fit your narrative….
