Robot gym cleaner in action as UK gyms are allowed to open
A THOR UVC disinfection robot – proven to eradicate COVID-19 - cleans the KX gym in London, after the first day indoor gyms were allowed to re-open in England. The robot normally disinfects hospital operating theatres with blasts of its powerful UVC light.

'Things are changing so fast': the benefits and dangers of robots in the UK workplace. Siemens’ Congleton factory in Cheshire.
Siemens digital factory: Printed circuit boards awaiting installation , on a trolley inside the Siemens production facility at Siemens House in Congleton . “We are under the threat of closure all the time,” says Andrew Peters without a hint of fear in his voice. As though repeating himself for the hundredth time, the managing director of Siemens’ Congleton factory in Cheshire explains his workers are battling for survival. Competition in this historic market town at the foothills of the Pennines, where lush green hills rise to the craggy moorlands of the Peak District, is increasingly global. “Everyone is in a race to make their products as efficient and productive as possible. If we didn’t have a drive on productivity we wouldn’t be in business.” This particular plant turns out more than a million motor drives a year, used to control the speed of airport luggage belts including those at Heathrow and Gatwick. Production here is unrecognisable from a decade ago before the robots arrived, emblematic of industry across the country. Over the past decade, the metronome of the modern economy has risen from a steady swing to an increasingly rapid clip. Keeping up has never been so tough.

'Things are changing so fast': the benefits and dangers of robots in the UK workplace. Siemens’ Congleton factory in Cheshire.
Siemens digital factory: PCB Operator ZEESHAN MALIK tests printed circuit boards inside the Siemens production facility at Siemens House in Congleton . “We are under the threat of closure all the time,” says Andrew Peters without a hint of fear in his voice. As though repeating himself for the hundredth time, the managing director of Siemens’ Congleton factory in Cheshire explains his workers are battling for survival. Competition in this historic market town at the foothills of the Pennines, where lush green hills rise to the craggy moorlands of the Peak District, is increasingly global. “Everyone is in a race to make their products as efficient and productive as possible. If we didn’t have a drive on productivity we wouldn’t be in business.” This particular plant turns out more than a million motor drives a year, used to control the speed of airport luggage belts including those at Heathrow and Gatwick. Production here is unrecognisable from a decade ago before the robots arrived, emblematic of industry across the country. Over the past decade, the metronome of the modern economy has risen from a steady swing to an increasingly rapid clip. Keeping up has never been so tough.

Robocrop: world's first raspberry-picking robot set to work. Autonomous machine expected to pick more than 25,000 raspberries a day, outpacing human workers.
Prototype Robocrop: world's first raspberry-picking robot set to work. Autonomous machine expected to pick more than 25,000 raspberries a day, outpacing human workers at Hall Hunter Partnership, near Chichester, UK.
The robot cost £700,000 to develop but, if all goes to plan, this is the future of fruit-picking. Automation threatens 1.5 million workers in Britain, says ONS. Each robot will be able to pick more than 25,000 raspberries a day, outpacing human workers who manage about 15,000 in an eight-hour shift, according to Fieldwork Robotics, a spinout from the University of Plymouth. The robot has gone on trial in the UK, as the farming industry battles rising labour costs and Brexit-related shortages of seasonal workers. Numbers of seasonal workers from eastern Europe have diminished, partly due to Brexit fears but also because Romania and Poland’s surging economies have persuaded their own workers to remain in their home countries .

Prototype Robocrop: world's first raspberry-picking robot set to work. Autonomous machine expected to pick more than 25,000 raspberries a day, outpacing human workers at Hall Hunter Partnership, near Chichester, UK.
The robot cost £700,000 to develop but, if all goes to plan, this is the future of fruit-picking. Automation threatens 1.5 million workers in Britain, says ONS. Each robot will be able to pick more than 25,000 raspberries a day, outpacing human workers who manage about 15,000 in an eight-hour shift, according to Fieldwork Robotics, a spinout from the University of Plymouth. The robot has gone on trial in the UK, as the farming industry battles rising labour costs and Brexit-related shortages of seasonal workers. Numbers of seasonal workers from eastern Europe have diminished, partly due to Brexit fears but also because Romania and Poland’s surging economies have persuaded their own workers to remain in their home countries .
