Robots bump one another at Chrysler's Belvidere factory
Some of the highly automated (and animated?) robots building Dodge Calibers and Jeep Compasses are running into one another, thus causing production problems. I wonder if they're named HAL?
Snippet: Some of the 780 Swedish-made ABB Ltd. robots that weld and assemble cars at Chrysler Group's Belvidere, Ill. assembly plant are bumping into each other -- stopping work anywhere from a few minutes to more than an hour, and at least once ending an entire shift...
Heh, kinda funny, but I'm sure the Dodge executives are not amused. I wonder if this kind of thing happens often at other companies as well, or is this just an isolated incident?

I think its probably happend with every companie at one point or another. Did it cause any damage to the machines?
So they have quality control issues even in the manufacturing process, eh? LOL
I work at BAP, and we have LOADS of downtime due to those robots!
