hey, yeah, i've seen talks about this. mostly it comes down to a few things:
- quality inspection. ai vision systems are getting pretty wild at finding tiny defects on boards that a human eye might miss.
- predictive maintenance for the machines, like anticipating when a part might fail before it actually stops the line.
- some places use it for optimizing the pick and place operations too, making the robots more efficient.
pretty cool stuff tbh.
