Ford's new robots can build cars, make coffee

The robots feature technology that senses where the person is and will stay close by for assistance. This also allows them to make sure they don't maneuver in such a way that could injure the person. In addition to heavy lifting, Ford notes the robots can even be programmed to make coffee as well as other delicate tasks. Ford also explains that these robots can lead to safer, faster and higher quality vehicle assembly, as well as making the process easier for employees. Although the robots are only in use at the Cologne factory, they may end up in other locations in the near future.
