Me being in a wheelchair, if I decide to take woodworking more seriously and end up with a shop, it would be cool to have a robot that can hold heavy/long boards for me! What a great video!
Had a job years ago installing and programming robots and other automation. It was the only way we could compete with cheap products from Mexico. In the last year my wife had both knees replaced by robot. They mapped her knee with a CT scan then a robot stabilized and did the work while a surgeon just observed and made sure the robot didn’t mess up! Cut way down on healing time and the pt needed afterwards.
The production value on this video was phenomenal! The time and effort this must have taken was well worth it. Between 3D printers, CNC, and now these bots dropping in price and necessary expertise, it's an exciting time to be a maker of any kind. I can definitely see a future where these machines sit beside table saws, jointers, and hand planes in a shop and all are used appropriately. Thanks for the video and keep up the great work!
I can definitely see having one of those arms mounted on the end of the workbench for sanding and finishing. What I really want to see is one of these arms "hand-cut" dovetails. As much as I like hand-cutting dovetails, when you're building a dresser with 100+ it can get very tedious.
You're forgetting the first microcontroller electric robot by ABB in 1979. ABB is also the largest manufacturer of robots and the only manufacturer with a location in the United States. Right in Auburn Hill Michigan.
Even though owning this type of equipment will never apply to me personally as I'm just a hobbyist who does some woodworking/making for fun. I still very much love and appreciate all your content that you clearly put alot of effort into putting out. Your videos are still some of my favorite to watch. You keep me inspired and I thank you for that.
Robots are awesome. We have a couple of their machines in our plant. We utilize them to move hot glass, pack shipping containers & there is a current effort underway to automate moving ware around our plant. Always have to stop & watch them work for a while when I walk by. Pretty impressive.
Such a cool opportunity to tour the facility. It’s a amazing what opportunities come our way by just having a UA-cam channel. Our influence reaches so many.
As someone with a vision impairment I can say I would love a robot in my shop to help me cut or drill small things, but more importantly help keep me safe while continuing to keep doing woodworking because I enjoy it so much! Our technology grows faster and faster every year.
I've had the privilege of working with robots of many shapes and sizes, from the ABB Yumi up the the last one I did was a Kuka with a 450kg payload capability. It is amazing even when you work with them regularly to see the accuracy, acceleration and deceleration they are capable of.
Love the topic and the video, though I wish the sanding demonstration wasn't disrupted by jump cuts and effects. If anything, I'd like that in slow motion from multiple angles. Neat tech!
JKATZ the opening for this was hilarious 😂. Pretty amazing what they’ve developed and can totally see the unlimited possibilities with these. Also love that you’re always improving and looking for ways to push beyond where you/we currently are. Thanks!
I agree with your observation that these tools will magnify our (human) efforts as manufacturing continues to evolve with population and resource constraints. You're living in the present and planning for the future of manufacturing JKM. Thanks for sharing!
I ran a robotic welder 20 years ago with 4 welding robots and a parts handler robot. I'm as excited as you at the possiblity of having one of these in my shop.
Wow! Mind blown! I love the idea of automation to do the mundane and unsafe! It places your true assets (your efforts and time) in better roles to be way more effective! I can't wait to see these take shape for the consumer
Loved the video. Really interesting topic. It's good to see something unique to the various woodworking UA-camrs. Well done relating the topic to your target audience. I didn't think I would be that interested at first but you did a great job getting me to imagine all of the ways I could use these robots in the future.
They had a ton of these cobots sanding, painting, routing, etc. At AWFS last week. They were really neat. 80k-120k just for the robot is a little out of my price range currently though lol
At the AWFS last week was full of robots about 75% of all booths were some kind of robots. They had full-size to take a full 4x8 sheet of plywood move it, cut it, put it together sand it even spray paint it. Completely automation. Than they had smaller ones that would work in a small shop & do the mundane things, sanding, painting, etc. There was even a fully automated table saw fence, you calibrate it than put in the measurement you want in any format metric to imperial, so repeatability would be very easy. Than there was a pack you would put on you and it would give you more strength and control to lesson the work load. Very very tech savvy this wood convention was, just say mind was blown.
I'd love to see an update on this. I was looking at CNC and thought there must be Robot arms out there doing it. Yours was the only video I found around woodworking. I'm sure a lot has changed in two years.
Great stuff Jonathan! Thank you for the in-depth look at this technology. It’s fascinating how this can change how things are done on so many levels. In so many industries. I had no idea you could get a sander-bot!! Loved the video. :)
Thanks for sharing this information. Helps me to think where I can be in business in 20 years. It seems people are divided on if this is real woodworking or not. Think about this... Imagine having a thriving business and you had an employee sanding cabinet faces all day. Do you consider that "real woodworking"? Why not let a robot do it. Also do you not use power tools? It's funny people complaining like they use hand tools for everything in the shop. Contact are good for future of small shops but I think it's about 30-50 years away for average woodworker
This is certainly an inspiring video! I know there are already 3d printable robot arm designs on the internet. The missing piece, for me, is the lack of good open source software to control them like GRBL only for robot arms.
Hey man, nice video! The FANUC M900 you are stating can pick up 7000kg, can only do 700kg 🙂 However the M2000iA series has a robot capable of 2300kg FANUC makes the world's heaviest payload industrial and collaborative robots.
I eventually want a large CNC to do slab flattening, but a couple of these collab robots could do the flattening, initial sanding, and potentially rough shaping all automated, also depending on the lift capacity they could flip it too. That could all be happening while I'm working on bases or other detailed work. Could really be a game changer for small/medium sized business shops to increase productivity.
I´m yet to complete my first small selfmade cnc. Imaging these robots to do all the really mundane stuff, as you said, would be so great to streamline the projects. Like, you saw the slabs, lay them over to the table with the robot. Robot sands, cuts grooves, etc as you prepare the next slabs.
Anyone who runs a small production business should jump at the chance to buy one of these when the upfront costs are affordable enough to justify for their business (assuming your business isn't predicated on human hand craftsmanship). Anything that acts as a force multiplier is only going to pay itself off, and that's the whole point of tools to begin with. We didn't invent circular saws because there wasn't a way to cut wood before, we invented them because they were a way to do it better and faster and with more consistency.
wow...not a single "skynet" reference in any of the main comments...c'mon :P but before I terminate this comment, let me say...fantastic video showing the leading tech's vision for many , many industries....robots don't steal jobs, they can , infact , make many peoples lives easier and bring down costs for consumers. Does this stop people like one of us from working with their hands? No , it does not .. great and informative vid.
I've actually got to play with some of the universal robot arms for my job. Had a client who wanted to mount one to a MiR (autonomous robot that is designed to move things) and use them in tandem to run a small parts warehouse.
85 years since Charlie Chaplin’s Modern Times and we have finally caught up to the point where robots can spill hot coffee in your lap. I thought this day would never come!
Love it man. Thanks for the personal shout out. Best birthday ever! I am just down the road and I can't wait till we bump into each other. @805customcabinets
Long time follower and small investor in your products. Not to be negative as I love robotics, if robots complete your projects for you, whats the difference in your product verse Ikea other than material used. So much gets copied anymore the value of your product reduces. No emotion goes in to the fabrication, flaws that give it character thats a part of you.
Johnathan this will be absolutely awesome IF you can get one that will listen to the missus and the constant waffling on and take this chore away from my life then hell I'll have two of them because I know she will definitely break at least one of them!!! As always buddy 💯% 👍 🇬🇧.
Tech is amazing as soon as you showed the orbital sander my mind thought it would be cool if it would run a belt sander. My only issue with automation in woodworking is at some point the flaws go away so the character of the piece does as well.... it is really fascinating where we have come. I used to run a HAAS 5 axis mill 30years ago and I thought then how cool this would be in my shop... it was a $60k machine now this arm can basically replace that machine! Awesome for sure.
you are trading one problem for many more compound problems with a robot arm. Elon Musk in the last year tried to get rid of 1000 robots and replace with gigapress. What a nightmare of programming and software errors and decision making that people should be doing instead.
The software running in this video is deceptive. For a robot to make an intelligent decision in a manufacturing environment without advanced specialized programming... better be a long production run and once that robot is dead its a brick. Gears run out
let's not forget the Maslow CNC for $500 for a 8ft x 4ft! I think the pushback is rooted in the begged question of if the repetitive/mundane/boring aspects of woodworking (like sanding) is now a main draw for the hobbyist.
Amazing video, as alaways. Loved the intro and smooth b-roll. I’d love to use one of those robotic arms to mount my camera to for more strategic shots. My current edelkrone system is nice, but this could work so much better. I can also think of a ton of other uses having an extra “hand” around the shop. I’d also love to hook up my own sensors to it if there is an SDK. Can’t wait to see how you’re able to integrate it into your workflow in the future.
I'm the guy who programmed the demo of the cabinet door sanding portion of the video, we mount cameras to that robot all the time and you can get all kinds of crazy shots. The car hood sanding shot in this video is actually a good example of this!
@@hillstudios that’s incredible. I can’t wait to buy one someday specially for camera movements and creative video tricks. But I could also imagine building 3D printing nozzles for it... or even just programming it to have voice control for a number of tasks based on the attachment used. Very cool, Josh. While I might not be able to afford one for my home shop just yet (might need to film a few more UA-cam videos first), I’ll work to see if I can obtain funds to buy one for the makerspace that I built at a local college.
Great video, very informative. I think the thing that scares me about this is not robots taking over my job so much as manufacturers using these robots to price small one man shops out of work. Once technology is good enough to do those very skillful custom things that places like IKEA currently can't do, then I don't see why customers would carry on buying from the smaller businesses for more money.
robots and automation is definitely an advantage and the future in all the industries on the other hand AI will bite our hand one day too. there are always 2 ends of the stick.
You could just get an auto feeder for a jointer... I'm all for robots and using them everywhere we can. But an auto feeder has been available for years and is much less expensive.
This time I might disagree with you. Like the piano tuner does the final settings to fine check the whole instrument and detect any misfunction, so does the woodworker even when performing a boring part like sanding. It's in that moment that I really check the work I did feeling each single defect, and learning from this. Just my romantic view of the thing.
When I think about how hard it is/was to purchase a used tablesaw, of any quality and you throw out a price of "only" ten thousand dollars I can't see how the small home woodworker can ever possibly afford this technology.
My CNC produces $2-3k worth of product a week and doesn't get a paycheck. Seems affordable to me when you consider the use case. Theres CNCs for the pure hobbyist that cost less than a planer. The point is, that same machine was $50,000- $100,000 dollars 10 years ago. I used to worry about the cost of a tablesaw when I started this business 5 years ago but as my business grew I started to worry about the tools I could buy that increase revenue and profit. Everyone's journey is different but if you think that your needs won't change over time you should dream bigger. Today's concerns lead to tomorrow's growth.
@@katzmosestools I agree with everything you are saying. But I wish some one would really talk about the amount of time it takes to dial in everything from design to fixtures. It is not about the technology replacing other work flows it is about completely re writing the book which manufacturing has done over 60 years ago. Thanks for all the work that it took to make the video and glad that more people know about what is possible.

I'm actively searching for a robot that can throw a workpiece against the wall for me when I cut it short.

I would agree that this will be useful to anyone with disabilities.
Nah, you gotta make a wheel chair attachment so it can move you around the workpiece, lmao.

I was quietly geeking out this entire video. I am still trying to work on my wife on getting a CNC, now got to plant the seed for a robot
Ask for the robot instead, and maybe she'll agree to the CNC.
Love the intro. Come on Dude we have done this 4 times and you pull this stunt. Classic JKatz.

With that intro, I didn't know if I was watching Katz-Moses or Deus Ex! Super awesome stuff man.
Hey man, nice video!
The FANUC M900 you are stating can pick up 7000kg, can only do 700kg 🙂
However the M2000iA series has a robot capable of 2300kg
FANUC makes the world's heaviest payload industrial and collaborative robots.
Awesome video! It really does feel like a peek into the near future
Who wouldn't want a robot for sanding in the shop?!! 😁
Thank you for introducing us to what’s coming down the road - extremely interesting topic!
As always, I think UA-cam influencers have a different definition of "affordable" than the rest of us. ;)
even though most of thier audiences are hobbiest and begginers they speak more from the business side
I eventually want a large CNC to do slab flattening, but a couple of these collab robots could do the flattening, initial sanding, and potentially rough shaping all automated, also depending on the lift capacity they could flip it too. That could all be happening while I'm working on bases or other detailed work. Could really be a game changer for small/medium sized business shops to increase productivity.

Nice video, Jonathan. Thanks!
I have nothing to say really, but I appreciate your content, and wish to help with the yt-algorithms.
I am currently building a robot that NOBODY makes/sells. I’m very excited about this build and plan on releasing a prototype sometime this year
I was lucky to be able to play with a Universal Robot arm for few days, this things are amazing

I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords.
It's all fun and games until you have a terminator crashing thru your door.
U know at one time I bet woodworkers said a table saw, router, any power tool for that matter was "cheating"
I'll be interested when it can detect and change it's own sand paper lol
That already exists and is in the field. It's pretty cool. Uses these little needles
Actually, we have that capability for the ATI Robotic Sander. Check it out! www.ati-ia.com/AOVMediaChange

robots and automation is definitely an advantage and the future in all the industries
on the other hand AI will bite our hand one day too. there are always 2 ends of the stick.
You could just get an auto feeder for a jointer... I'm all for robots and using them everywhere we can. But an auto feeder has been available for years and is much less expensive.
Yeah but this thing could feed it through the jointer, planer and tablesaw all while I'm at lunch. Way more fun that way.
@@katzmosestools what if something goes wrong lol does it have a camera and exterior sensor suite? no
Haven’t you people ever seen a movie? This is how it all ends. Seriously though, this is cool AF.
I want one.
Wood manufacturers just missing their collective pants
The Robots are going to take over the world. Have you forgotten I-Robot with Will Smith.
This time I might disagree with you. Like the piano tuner does the final settings to fine check the whole instrument and detect any misfunction, so does the woodworker even when performing a boring part like sanding. It's in that moment that I really check the work I did feeling each single defect, and learning from this. Just my romantic view of the thing.
When I think about how hard it is/was to purchase a used tablesaw, of any quality and you throw out a price of "only" ten thousand dollars I can't see how the small home woodworker can ever possibly afford this technology.
My CNC produces $2-3k worth of product a week and doesn't get a paycheck. Seems affordable to me when you consider the use case. Theres CNCs for the pure hobbyist that cost less than a planer. The point is, that same machine was $50,000- $100,000 dollars 10 years ago. I used to worry about the cost of a tablesaw when I started this business 5 years ago but as my business grew I started to worry about the tools I could buy that increase revenue and profit. Everyone's journey is different but if you think that your needs won't change over time you should dream bigger. Today's concerns lead to tomorrow's growth.
@@katzmosestools I agree with everything you are saying. But I wish some one would really talk about the amount of time it takes to dial in everything from design to fixtures. It is not about the technology replacing other work flows it is about completely re writing the book which manufacturing has done over 60 years ago.
Thanks for all the work that it took to make the video and glad that more people know about what is possible.
