WARNER ROBINS, Ga. — Robots are at Robins. They have multimillion-dollar robots, custom-designed just for preparing radomes, better known as the nose cone on fighter jets, on Robins Air Force Base. "There's a digital twin of the robot and the radome on the screen that allows the operator to interact with the robot very intuitively. The robot does exactly what they tell it to do and the robot shows them what it's going to do using the augmented reality projection," Shane Groves said. Groves is the Air Logistic Complex's expert on robotics and automation, and he says they brought in the robots as a test.
