I'm surprised at how the robots can work so closely to the employees without protection cages. They must have strong fail-safe systems in place. Most impressive!
Except that they seem to be making and assembling larger/fewer parts, this doesn't look substantially different from the Toyota plant I worked at 10 years ago.
The most amazing robot is actually the one that takes a picture and computer vision techniques to identify where to bond the glass.<p>See it in action here:
