Robot workspace to get human touch remotely
Assemble, stitch, fasten, box, seal, ship. Wait, what can get done if assemblers, stitchers, and the others are staying at home?
It’s been fairly easy for some to adopt a remote working model during the pandemic, but manufacturing and warehouse workers have had it rougher some tasks just need people to be physically present in the workplace.
But now, one team is working on a solution for the traditional factory floor that could allow more workers to carry out their labor from home.
