There has been news from the USA that will fuel the discussions that artificial intelligence will become widespread in business lines and replace humans. A company called RoboTire has produced a robot powered by artificial intelligence that focuses on changing car tires. This robot, called “RoboTire”, can change four tires in 23 minutes.
The robot, which bears the same name as the manufacturing company, is actually a robotic arm. However, the robot’s artificial intelligence-assisted algorithm ensures flawless tire changes. Moreover, the algorithm has been designed in such a way that it can increase the learning level a little more with each tire change. Moreover, tires and studs of different sizes and factors that make tire change difficult, such as mud or snow, do not mean anything to this robot. RoboTire can work in all conditions.
Here’s what the tire changing robot looks like:
There is nothing more we can say about the technology of the tire changing robot named RoboTire. But there’s something we need to talk about more than that…
Could RoboTire really take the job of tire makers?
According to a report in Fox News, RoboTire actually dreams of a fully autonomous system for the robot it has prepared. However, they are not at such a point now. So much so that after the tire is removed, a tire shop still needs to be taken to the tire change machine. In other words, the process is provided with human support, at least for now.
When we examine the website established for RoboTire, it is declared that these robots are not developed to replace humans, but to assist technicians. However, according to Rich Shainline, owner of a tire company serving in Pennsylvania, these robots can do things with one staff instead of two without losing speed. From this, we conclude that the required workforce has decreased by 50 percent.
There is another dimension to the matter; industry sources think that the money spent to buy RoboTire will pay for itself in a year. Because this robot works at twice the speed of an average human. Fast tire change means an increase in the number of daily customers. There is also the cost reduction. As a result, expenses such as salary and insurance are incurred for each personnel. This all means that RoboTire could one day replace tire manufacturers…
