RoboTire is a new technology capable of changing four tires in half the time it would take a human technician to complete the common task alone. Autonomous robot cars may be the next big thing, but robot mechanics are right behind them. RoboTire is a new technology that can change all four tires on a car two to three times faster than a human can do it alone. But it still requires a human touch -- for now. After a vehicle pulls onto the device's platform, artificial intelligence-driven machine vision identifies the wheels, spots the lugs and guides the robot arms to unscrew and remove the nuts or lug bolts, then pulls the wheels and tires off.
