A Perfect Match: Cloud-based Engineering Tools and Advanced Robotics

Experts from Dassault Systèmes and Airskin on the intersection of collaborative robotics and advanced engineering software.

Engineering is about change. Positive change, change that advances technology and makes life better for everyone. The pathway between an engineer’s idea and a product rolling off an assembly line has evolved from a pencil and paper, to computer-aided design, and now to software systems which are themselves part of the design process.

Today, the engineer’s toolset is impressive. Rendering, simulation, automatic generation of key documentation, configuration and revision control, IP security, generative design are some of the tools in the box, and today, artificial intelligence promises a revolution that may be bigger than the deployment of computer-aided design half a century ago. Robotics is the key to 21st-century manufacturing, and unlike the machines of 20 or 30 years ago, today’s industrial automation must work seamlessly with humans, side-by-side. It’s an excellent example of a challenging engineering space with a big payoff for success.
