You say that the architecture of the Festo Bionic Handling Assistant does not automatically realize advanced robotic manipulation capabilities without a clear performance threshold and that usefulness is measured by the cost/benefit ratio.
I understand your point about the need for metrics, but the idea that a design alone guarantees anything is a bit naive.
A restructuring plan can be perfect on paper, but it does not account for collective agreements or the realities of the workshop, such as dust or temperature variations.
True advanced capability is the one that works smoothly on the ground, not just in the lab, for example a robot that must sort parts outdoors in rain and mud.
Without tangible evidence and reliability figures in real conditions, it's just a nice story.
