The Challenges of Making Giant Robots: Yaskawa MH900 - Jeremy Fielding 108

The senior engineer really let the young one take the lead with this conversation. There are several instances in the video where behind his nods of approval, you feel like he has a lot to say, but is keeping it to himself so the junior engineer has the opportunity to shine. We all need leaders like this!

That young engineer is very well spoken. You can tell he will go far.

This video made me so happy to be a mechanical engineer! This is on par with Smarter Every Day's tour of the ULA Vulcan factory in terms of scratching the nerdy itch in the brain. Thanks for bringing us along with you!

You can really tell when a tour host is passionate about their field. It makes the whole thing so much more enjoyable. It's a great time seeing everybody involved having such a twinkle in their eye about robots! Also, what a project to be involved in, that MH900. So many questions to answer and discover in the first place!

The young engineer did a very nice job presenting. He conveys his passion for engineering very well also. Nice job!

3 minutes in it - I've never seen a man so full of joy and expectaion and overflowing with ideas like Jeremy here on his truck going for the new robot. 24 minutes: I enjoy Jeremy beaming like a kid on birthday. He seems to be 10 years younger. His Joy is just so contagious.

I'm having a biggest smile on my face watching this video! The joy and pride everyone involved is showing is so captivating, thanks for sharing!

My new hero a engineer who realizes things may have to come apart!

This was an terrific episode. One of the most interesting factory tours I've seen, and I loved your little inspirational speech about just making the effort to do something without feeling that you have to know all there is to know about the subject before you start.

You lived out every real man’s greatest fantasy!!!! Building your own robot in your garage.

I can definitely vouch for the quality of Yaskawa robots and more importantly the people involved. I am an engineer for a sheet metal fabrication company, and we have two Yaskawa robotic weld cells, an ArcWorld 1000 (a medium sized single arm cell with a DX200 controller), and an ArcWorld 6200 (a large dual arm cell with a YRC1000 controller) and both have been great to program, operate, and design for. Robotic welding can be incredibly productive, but it takes a lot of care to make sure that you are not efficiently filling up the scrap hopper! If you need help with any of the programming or on mechanical side of your new robot, feel free to reach out! Good luck!

I been using Yaskawa robot for years. They are by far my favorite robotics company especially for service and support. Im not a big company so I cant afford to have a tech fly out every time there is a problem. Yaskawa is willing to stay on the phone with me for hours if need be to work through an issue even on older legacy equipment (10+ years old). I almost feel bad taking up so much of their time but they are more than willing to help me out. Compare that to other robotics companies, once I had a error on a Nachi robot, those guys didnt even want to talk to me haha.

35:55 Ahahahah the aluminum extrusion and acrylic handmade box. Brings back memories of my first job.

This reminds me so much of the factory I worked in as a Quality Engineer for John Deere. Obviously theres plenty of differences, but it's really interesting to see a lot of similarities. For example, we ran a test called "spin test" where we pressurize the main chassis before sending it to get painted, just to confirm there aren't any major leaks. The amount of bad/misaligned o-rings or loose fittings that we later found out about (the hard way) always kept the shifts interesting.

This video brought back a very old memory of mine. The first industrial robot (with more than four degrees of motion) I worked on was a Graco spray painting robot. All but one axis was chain driven from the base using hydraulics. In 1985 I was lucky enough to go on a training course in Norway to learn about ABB’s painting robot (called Tralfa, if I recall correctly). That course set me up to work with industrial robotics for the last 35 years 😀 Your videos inspire young ‘engineers’ to learn about robotics and robotic applications. I’ve enjoyed every video of yours I’ve watched.

That was a great transition to the "under construction" robot. Great Video

Jeremy's voice, his passionate people oriented videos, and his darn kind demeanor means some of his videos are the engaging videos in the the engineering and math content space of YouTuber (still love stuff made here, rober, veritasium, practical engineering and the rest)!

What a great opportunity for you and for us. Thanks to Yaskawa for being awesome, donating this incredible robot and taking us on this fantastic tour. Looking forward to seeing how you progress on this Jeremy, thank you for bringing us along.

The mastery of those individuals to be able to make everything so understandable is truly a insight into the amount of knowledge they possess yet so humble

You can see how proud the senior engineer is of his junior ! Great video !
