Abstract(s)
Estamos, provavelmente, no início da quarta revolução industrial, e com ela assistimos ao
surgimento de novas tecnologias e paradigmas comerciais e económicos. Tal como em
revoluções industriais anteriores, as mudanças não se irão restringir à indústria, terão
também implicações em todos os aspetos das nossas vidas.
A evolução das tecnologias de informação e comunicação (TIC) e os avanços na área da
inteligência artificial, estão a conduzir a um nível de automatização até agora nunca
alcançado. Grande parte desta automatização está-se a fazer com recurso a uma nova
conceção de robots. Apesar dos primeiros robots industriais terem surgido na década de 60 e
já serem amplamente aceites como uma forma de melhorar a qualidade e a produtividade há
pelo menos três décadas, questões como a segurança dos trabalhadores e os elevados
investimentos para aquisição desta tecnologia acabam por se tornarem um obstáculo na sua
implementação. Assim, diante desses desafios, uma nova geração de robots, designados
Cobots, “collaborative robots”, está a ganhar destaque. Com os Cobots será possível
ultrapassar as barreiras de segurança e perspetivar um trabalho lado a lado com os
trabalhadores em segurança.
Face ao exposto, este trabalho procura identificar e explorar as novas tecnologias associadas
à Indústria 4.0, em particular os Cobots, assim como os principais desafios inerentes a
implementação destas. Para além dos impactos tecnológicos, procura-se ainda apresentar os
impactos económicos e sociais resultantes dessa nova revolução.
We are probably in the beginning of the fourth industrial revolution, and with it we witness the emergence of new technologies and new commercial and economics paradigms. Such as in the previous industrial revolutions, the changes will not be restricted to the industry, but they will also have implications in all the aspects of our lives. The developments in the information and communication technologies associated with the advances in artificial intelligence, are leading to a level of automation never achieved before. Much of this automation is being done using a new design of robots. The first industrial robots emerged in the 1960s and they are already being widely accepted as a way to improve quality and productivity, at least for the last three decades, issues such as workers safety and high prices of this technology have become an obstacle to is implementation. Thus, facing this challenge, a new generation of robots, called Cobots, “collaborative robots”, is gaining importance. With the cobots it is possible overcome the safety issues and work side by side with the human workers in safety. The above, this work seeks to identify and exploit the new technologies associated with the industry 4.0, in particular the cobots, as well the main challenges in their implementation. In addition to the technological impacts are presented the economic and social impacts resulting from this new revolution.
