## How a manufacturing robot works

A manufacturing robot is a machine that works in the physical world: it welds, manipulates, loads and moves parts, supports the inspection and rounds the plant. Its **form** defines how it operates: it can be a fixed arm, a mobile ground robot or a humanoid; the same platform admits variants and each one works where it performs best. It connects to the cloud to add what it does not bring from the factory. Depending on its manufacturer, you can configure it to be compatible with the platform, update it or start with one from the brand, and the panorama remains open: any robot that meets the schema works.

One requirement is that the robot has **internet access** and that its manufacturer allows connecting it to external networks: with that it can use the tools, talk with the agent or join the agents the user has in their cloud and those created on [natuleadan.app](https://natuleadan.app/). The connection uses **API key or OAuth 2.1** according to what the tool or the manufacturer asks for, and the tools that require it are verified on demand when needed and may be subject to other terms and conditions.

## What the robot can do

There is no closed list: what it can do depends on the form, on the manufacturer and on what it already has installed. A robot that is not native to manufacturing can become native with the application, or stay as it is according to what you decide.

-   **Welding and manipulation**: joining and handling of parts per program, if the robot has it or adopts it.
-   **Feeding and loading**: machine feeding and lot assembly, according to its installed capabilities.
-   **Inspection**: visual and dimensional support in line, when the integration allows it.
-   **Finishing**: support in painting, hardening or coating, with the record of every step.
-   **Internal movement**: transfer of materials and product between areas.
-   **Rounds and safety**: surveillance of zones and support in the plant lockouts, according to what is installed.

## How the robot works

Here is the difference with the agents: the agents operate in the cloud and the robot works in the physical world. When it is online, it is empowered: it can talk with agents that the user creates or use the tools directly in its robot-to-tool relationship, and chain a complete process, from the request to the execution and the close. It is not limited to a single task or a single agent: it adapts to what it is enabled with. Every action stays in the account’s usage log and, if it loses the connection, it keeps its last safe state until it returns.

## How to use the robot

Once connected to the platform, the robot is used according to its form and its role: an arm welds or loads, a mobile one transfers and prepares lots, and a humanoid assists in the line; all can escalate their task when the case calls for it. A professional can operate it within a plant program, or a person who integrates it into their own work, without going through a specialist. You can change modality, pause tasks or remove a station from the program without losing its history, and every adjustment is recorded with its date. The robot never moves the line or releases a lot on its own: it proposes and escalates when needed.

## How to have safety with your robot

Safety is shared between what you define and what the manufacturer offers. These fronts are worth reviewing before putting a robot into operation.

-   **Access**: who can operate it, with which role and with which permission; rotation of API keys or OAuth.
-   **Approvals**: sensitive actions ask for approval per operation, as in API Connect.
-   **Data**: what leaves the robot toward the cloud, how it is encrypted, how long it is kept and with which consent.
-   **Physical safety**: emergency stop, speed and force limits, sensors and restricted zones, according to the manufacturer.
-   **Network and updates**: encrypted connection, signed updates and a safe behavior if it loses the connection.
-   **Log and audit**: record of every action and notices on an anomalous behavior.

## Start now

You can configure your robot to be compatible with [natuleadan.app](https://natuleadan.app/), update it or buy the one from the brand to start with one ready. If you use the application, create your account and nominate your manufacturing robot for the pilot. The robot is paid separately and its connection, together with the use of the tools, is covered with the tokens of your monthly plan or your prepaid plan. The detail lives in [pricing](https://natuleadan.com/en/resources/business/pricing).
