Nothing changed about this robot itself — what you can see is the field shifting around it, or its maker's news rising and ageing.

One reading per day since 3 Aug, when the current ordering began. The rank above is the reading for 12 Sept, taken against 999 robots — the standing itself is live, so a robot added since then counts there and not here yet.

Overview

The EMMA (Easily Manipulated Mechanical Arm) systems have been developed by Temple Allen Industries, some of which are robotic and some entirely pneumatic, for various applications including aerospace.

Flagship features

  • Unique selling point: 100% pneumatic operation, designed specifically to eliminate health and safety problems associated with manual sanding
  • Key capability: Allows artisans to perform overhead surface preparation tasks ergonomically
  • Deployment configurations include Belly System and Telescoping Stand System for maximum maneuverability
  • Target application: Surface preparation (sanding) in industrial shop environments
  • Notable limitation: Not a traditional robotic arm with articulated joints or programmable control; it is a manually manipulated mechanical arm
  • The product page is a magazine document (ePAPER) from 2015, not a typical product listing. No detailed technical specs, pricing, or commercial terms are provided
