    I thought this might be of interest. (At least I thought it was
    interesting):

    It's a video tour of how a unicycle like trailer for kids is designed
    and fabricated, using modern robotic welders.

    More interesting I found the Safari seat wheelchair <https://youtu.be/m7KDLlsJTs8?si=vdPS9rk-HoOyysqa>

    Crude it maybe and old styled but it’s clever, as aside US (I know the wheelchair is Kenya designed) does adapted bikes and so much better lot of
    the adapted MTB one sees are essentially fine for some park paths and not
    much more, but some of the US ones can be used on MTB trails as long as
    it’s not too narrow or large jumps!

    I watched a little of it, but I've never been able to get interested
    in watching other people do things, especially things I had no
    interest in doing myself.

    I do make occasional exception to that regarding "fail" videos.

    Probably 40 years ago I did a survey of Thai companies for a U.S.
    company that had plans to bring U.S. technology to Thailand (the Thais >already had it (:-) and one of the companies I visited was a Japanese
    auto maker that showed me their Automatic Welding Machine that was
    welding rear axle housings.

    It' not new :-).

    The idea is certainly not new. 40 years ago would be about 1985.
    That's a few years after Unimation (Westinghouse) introduced their
    Unimate PUMA robot arm: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programmable_Universal_Machine_for_Assembly>
    The idea is much the same as the robot in the video. The
    implementation is very different. Today arms are faster, easier and
    cheaper to setup, program, and operate. Add some safety features.
    Yes, it's not new, but today, it's much better (and cheaper).

    Well, just to keep the pot boiling. The set up I saw was used in
    building auto components and would require changing when the auto
    design changes... years? Longer?

    Would you like input from anyone here who has ever programmed a robot?


    I'm sure kunich has...(lol)

    meh.
    Every manufacturing process has setup/changeover at every
    product run. The GM plant near where I grew up closed for
    August every year to retool for the next year's models. At
    Sakae Ringyo in Tokyo in the mid 1980s, the thixoform tools
    were all modular and segments were changed on the flow tree
    regularly throughout the shift in minutes. Nowadays that
    changeover is simpler and faster, often just a software
    process, but still inherent.
