Automatica 2014 video round-up: Virtual reality, programmable LEGO, a dual arm robot and more!

Automatica 2014 in Munich, Germany, has come and gone. But we're all still basking in the memories of what was truly our most memorable show ever.

Since Automatica 2014 ended a few weeks ago we’ve been incredibly busy here at ABB Robotics. In particular, we hosted our European partner event in Barcelona and are getting ready for a last half of the year full of ever more exciting product announcements and story launches. In fact, we’ve been so busy that some things may have slipped through the cracks. So, in case you missed it, we produced a series of 6 videos from Automatica 2014 in Munich which were uploaded to a playlist over on our popular YouTube channel (go ahead and pop over there to subscribe if you haven’t yet, it’s absolutely worth it).

From a show overview featuring some of our most prominent executives, to a couple of video blogs about using Oculus Rift to enter the virtual world of robotic programming as well as detailing the story of how an ABB robot made of LEGO bricks became reality, to a booth overview showing how this year’s Automatica was the most fun we’ve ever had at an ABB trade show—there’s certainly something for everyone to enjoy. So go grab a cup of coffee and spend some time watching these through. If you can’t tell, we had a lot of fun making them!
