Yamaha Motor Industrial Robots

External sales began in 1984, initially of the CAME robots developed for and used in Yamaha Motor’s own motorcycle manufacturing lines. The Yamaha Motor industrial robots lineup currently features a wide variety of products, from single-axis to articulated robots, contributing to the automation of production processes in many fields such as the automobile, electrical, electronics, and food industries. In 2016, Yamaha Motor released its "Advanced Robotics Automation Platform” which can integrate control of entire production lines and deliver fully-digital production facilities. In 2017, Yamaha Motor began development of remote management systems for industrial robots in collaboration with Yamaha Corporation, which has strengths in industrial routers.
