I'll be impressed when a robot can remove the wheel, then remove the old tire, place a new tire on the rim, replace the valve stem if necessary, inflate the tire to proper pressure, and then put it back on the vehicle.
We will get there, the ting with a pit stop is that you have 10 people doing the job, if we want to be faster than a pit then we need way more than a couple robots, which will increase the cost dramatically.
changing wheels and tires is literally my everyday work, with 1 colleague it's done in less than 10 minutes, but with balancing done and pressure done. just switching wheels like the robots do, at least half the time it takes in the video. cool experiment, certainly good application for a robotic arm, but I'll be impressed the day I'll be replaced by one.
That's not replacing a tire. That's taking a wheel off and putting it back on. I've been doing it professionally for 20 years, I can guarantee that's not faster than me and I'll rotate them too. What's a robot going to do when a hub it corroded and the wheels falls off? Who's liable? What about when a stud snaps or it cross threads the lug. There are too many discretionary skill based decision making aspects of automotive repair to automate it.
We aren't replacing humans we are saving them from the back breaking work. This isn't taking anyone's job away it is doing the job that is back breaking and causes a lot of fatigue.
@@RiyadhElalami Complete overkill for the task at hand. A Toyota Camry wheel weighs 20-30 lbs, far from back breaking. There are already wheel lifts for heavy wheels that cost a fraction of the price, have a fraction of the foot print and they're mobile (Rotary MW-500). Also the video is cut, you're not showing the whole process of set up and whatnot. I can have all four wheels off a Camry in under a minute, no dealer/shop would ever buy this.
@@sdustingxpWe are at 4 shops already 1 in Phoenix, Texas, Philadelphia and Michigan. The techs and the owners like it, they do give us feedback all the time and we always make improvements to suit their needs
@@RiyadhElalami Listen, it's a cool machine. I'm not trying to knock anyone's hard work I'm just trying to be realistic. This is a solution in search of a problem. What is MSRP and average price of install on the set up in the video? I bet I get crickets now.
How often are the programs for this robotic machine updated?Are the updates free or is there costs to the updates.? And finally,can the rbot dribble the tires and do twirls with the tires as well? LOL
Can a human keep that up 24 hours a day? This isn't a human replacement this is a human supplement, it will help the human do what they are good at for a very long time.

Thank you! My thought *exactly* , plus balancing the tire.
Great example of a solution searching for a problem.
That was cool but I wasn’t hoping for faster. I was expecting faster than a pit man not regular folks.
Awesome start though.

@@RiyadhElalami absolutely. I am excited for this.
1:45 The robot missed putting on two lug nuts. 😂

We aren't aiming to replacing you, we want to help you. Your touch will forever be needed.
Fun Fact: this Company just filed for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

No. Actually it is taking the job away.

This robot definitely ain’t flat rate

that s a long time
Just announced chapter 7 bankruptcy

Why the poor views, glaring lights, obscure camera angles, goofy music and dimly lit areas? What R U hiding Chapter 11?
I've seen humans change tires in under 15 seconds! Not impressed.
Just remember this is as slow as it will ever be.

@@RiyadhElalami I Doubt there will be demand for tire changes 24/7.
