EXAMPLE USE CASE: HUMANOID IN A ROBOTIC WELDING

---

One of the clearest opportunities for human-robot system integration is in robotic welding cells, where a human operator currently performs repetitive tasks such as:

• Picking up parts, brackets, or fasteners from a rack
• Placing them into the robot fixture with proper orientation
• Validating alignment (often via pokayoke sensors)
• Pressing a start button to initiate welding
• Adding new components mid-cycle, or removing completed parts

These tasks are highly repetitive, localized, and routine—ideal for replacement by a humanoid robot.A humanoid can perform these duties without requiring human-equivalent actions like pressing buttons. Instead, it can be integrated digitally with the welding cell controller to read sensor states, confirm fixture readiness, and trigger the welding sequence through a communication protocol.This integration reduces reliance on manual interfaces, allows for a more compact and efficient cell layout (by eliminating human safety zones and light curtains), and offers a powerful early-stage implementation of humanoids in real-world production.This example illustrates Pampa’s strategic value—not just in deploying the hardware, but in designing the communication logic, safety interaction, and software orchestration needed to make these systems truly operational within the factory floor.
