FANUC is one of the largest makers of industrial robots in the world. FANUC had its beginnings as part of Fujitsu developing early numerical control (NC) and servo systems. FANUC is acronym for Fuji Automatic Numerical Control. [7] FANUC is organized into 3 business units: FA (Factory Automation), ROBOT, and ROBOMACHINE.
Customers create, design and order custom equipment on Vention's online platform to be used in their production lines, including test benches, robot work stations and assembly lines. [2] The company launched code-free robot programming tools to let users program their robot in the cloud, order the entire robot cell, and deploy it on their ...
RoboDK software is the extended commercial version of RoKiSim [6] and is designed to bring powerful robotics simulation and programming capabilities to companies large and small and to coders and non-coders alike. At launch, the RoboDK library supported 200 robots from more than 20 robot manufacturers.
FANUC, a Japanese robotics company, has been a lights-out factory since 2001. [6] Robots are building other robots at a rate of about 50 per 24-hour shift and can run unsupervised for as long as 30 days at a time. "Not only is it lights-out," says Fanuc vice president Gary Zywiol, "we turn off the air conditioning and heat too." [6] [7]

An autonomous robot is a robot that acts without recourse to human control. The first autonomous robots environment were known as Elmer and Elsie, which were constructed in the late 1940s by W. Grey Walter. They were the first robots in history that were programmed to "think" the way biological brains do and meant to have free will. [8]
The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to robotics: . Robotics is a branch of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and computer science that deals with the design, construction, operation, and application of robots, as well as computer systems for their control, sensory feedback, and information processing.
The Robotics Education & Competition Foundation (REC Foundation or RECF) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization best known for managing competitions and programs for the VEX Robotics Competition. [1] Over 1.1 million students have participated in RECF programs around the world.
