The Challenge
Labor-intensive and time-consuming tasks in vehicle assembly (like sanding and painting) that could be automated.
The AI Solution
Collaboration of human workers with AI-guided cobots (collaborative robots). Six AI-powered cobots in Ford's body shop handle sanding of car bodies.
Type of AI Used: Robotics (machine vision & automation algorithms)
Results & Impact
Ford's cobots sand an entire car body in just 35 seconds, dramatically increasing speed and consistency. Improved productivity and safer environment.
