Robotic sandboxes are particularly at home in the fields of automation, industry and Factory 4.0 as well as robots. These are safe, enclosed test environments in which new robot software, programming or processes can be trialled without endangering real machines, work processes or people.
Imagine a robotic sandbox like a sandpit in the playground, only for robots: developers can use it to simulate various scenarios, movement sequences or functions. Errors or crashes do not lead to real damage because everything takes place in a protected environment.
An illustrative example: a company wants to teach a robot to pack delicate glassware. The robotic sandbox is first used to test how the gripper arm grips the glassware, how firmly or carefully it should do so and which movements work best. Only when everything runs perfectly is the programme transferred to the real robot in the production hall.
Robotic sandboxes help to develop innovations faster, safer and more cost-effectively by preventing expensive errors and operational interruptions. They give companies the opportunity to test a wide range of automation solutions risk-free.
