互动壁的出现证明了一种建筑学新形式，它动感十足，互动性好。这一技术把仿生鳍条结构的优势和Festo自动化尖端技术结合起来。互动壁可以按照预先设好的动作程序运转，也可以与游客进行现场互动。它能实时把参展游客的举止转化成动作、光线和音乐。 InteractiveWall – a trade fair system reacts to visitors
InteractiveWall demonstrates a new form of architecture that is dynamic and interactive. It combines the advantages of the bionic Fin Ray structure with state-of-the-art automation technology from Festo. InteractiveWall can either follow a predetermined sequence of movements or interact with people in front of it. It transforms the behaviour of trade fair visitors into motion, light and music in real time.
在 2007年汉诺威工业博览会上，五个自动发声机为开幕式伴奏音乐，这大大得力于Festo公司的技术。发声机中所运用的气动装置和PLC与它们过去在工业自动化中的用途完全不同。在这里它们为科技和音乐架起了桥梁。
布景设计师兼机器人艺术家Roland Olbeter 开发制造了这套独一无二的“音乐发声机”，由四重奏电弦和一个鼓组成。四个弦乐器的声音和功用与电吉他相差无几，不同的是每个弦乐器上面只有一根弦。
每个音乐机中都使用了21个Festo公司生产的微柱体。这些微气柱体仿音乐家左手的机械运动，并通过弦长来决定音高。在鼓上的那些微柱体制动着多个鼓槌和一个爵士乐刷。
澳大利亚作曲家Elena Kats-Chernin为2007年汉诺威工业博览会特别创作了“湛蓝天空”（Fast Blue Air）。这首曲子进一步开发了音乐发声机的声音范围，甚至连气动装置产生的噪音也包括在内。
音乐程序储存于乐器数字接口文件（MIDI files）中。乐声是通过三个步骤产生的。第一步是“数字化”，这时的音乐发声机由PLC控制。第二步，气动元件像吉他手一样拨动琴弦或者像弦乐器音乐家一样击打琴弦来使琴弦震动发声。第三步，乐声像电吉他一样由电子接收器接受并扩大。由此，音乐发声机可以产生各种不同的音乐效果。
Five automated sound machines provided musical accompaniment for the opening celebrations at the Hannover Messe 2007 – thanks to technology from Festo. Pneumatic components and a PLC control system were applied very differently from the way they are used in industrial automation; they created a bridge between technology and art.
机器人已被证明能够在一个多种应用多种益处。 Manufacturers introducing robots to their production processes have typically seen a significant transformation in their productivity and efficiency.机器人制造商介绍他们的生产工序通常发生在他们的生产力和效率的重大转变。
The International Federation of Robotics recently undertook a survey that identified the top 10 reasons that manufacturers invest in robots.在国际机器人联合会最近进行了一个确定的10大理由机器人制造商在投资调查。 ABB has now built on that survey and developed a Guide to help you better understand the "10 good reasons for investing in robots" with real-life case studies from companies and integrators who exemplify each one of the reasons. ABB公司现已建立在该项调查，并制定了指南，帮助您更好地了解“10机器人的投资与现实生活的公司和系统集成体现每个谁的原因之一案例研究”的理由。
The 10 good reasons 10个很好的理由
They range from reducing operating costs, improving product quality and consistency, as well as the quality of work for employees, to increasing production output rates, product manufacturing flexibility and reducing material waste and increasing yield.它们的范围从降低运营成本，提高产品质量和一致性，以及对员工的工作质量，以期提高生产产出率，产品的制造灵活性和减少材料浪费和增加产量。
