As the official Automation and Robotics Sponsor of EXPO Milan 2015, it's only fitting that ABB's newest product, YuMi--the world's first truly collaborative dual-arm industrial robot--takes center stage at the EXPO's Supermarket of the Future.
Housed in the Future Food District, the Supermarket of the Future is a collaboration between renowned designer Carlo Ratti, COOP Italia, and ABB Robotics. It explores the concept of how Big Data could change the way we purchase and consume food, informing us at the point of sale about where it came from, how it was processed, and other such information.
This teaser movie gives a "taste" of what to expect from our robots if you visit. Look for a longer format video detailing how the Supermarket of the Future provides ABB Robotics a way to explore what the automated supermarket 50 years from now might look like in a creative way. The robots you see in the video are currently not intended for these applications in real life, but the installations are a fun thought experiment.
The relationship with EXPO is a natural one for ABB because EXPO embodies the future-thinking innovative mindset. At ABB we drive innovation in the robotics industry that will allow more and more industries to be automated. Robots are quickly becoming a part of our daily lives and we can envision a time when even supermarkets are routinely automated.
