Do humanoid robots entering factories really need legs? LimX Dynamics mounts the TRON 2 upper body on a six-axis industrial arm

LimX Dynamics and ZINOVA mounted the torso module of the TRON 2 dual-arm embodied robot on the end of a large six-axis industrial robotic arm, completing formwork frame assembly and rebar tying tasks at a heavy-industry construction site. The article notes that bipedal robots have a single-charge battery life of only one to two hours, with most of the power used to maintain balance, and that their small contact area makes it difficult to withstand the recoil of tools such as nail guns. In this approach, the industrial arm bears the load and absorbs impact, while the TRON 2 dual arms use vision to recognize an off-the-shelf industrial nail gun and plan gripping and trigger actions; force sensors perceive contact vibration and resistance, and two robots can work together to align lumber and fire.
