…100 kilograms, JEEVES employs a laser system, 3D camera and sensors to autonomously navigate hotel rooms and use the elevator. Guests can request snacks or beverages by making a phone call or sending an app message. Upon arrival, JEEVES notifies the guest via a phone call or app alert. Once the robot arrives at the door, guests use its large touch display to select and pay for a product. JEEVES then dispenses the chosen item from one of its four drawers.

…handling without the complexity of forklifts, pallet jacks, conveyors, elevators and other automation. This simplicity is enabled by three key breakthroughs, according to the company: Simplified offering: Unlike other offerings that involve thousands of parts and saddle customers with technical debt, Mytra comprises only three individual components: bots, a simple and repeating matrix structure and edge-intelligent software, which simplifies the deployment process, reduces cost and avoids single points of failure. 3D movement: Mytra is the first system that allows for full 3D movement at up to 3,000 pounds from any cell to any adjacent cell in any direction. This achieves…

…expanded operational coverage due to its ability to utilize elevators to move between floors. Six wheels with independent suspension provide excellent stability, enabling CLOi ServeBot to transport beverages over uneven surfaces without any significant spillage. For user convenience, the CLOi ServeBot’s doors can be set to open or close automatically during operation. LG CLOi ServeBot can even tell when a delivery has been completed, as camera sensors built into its internal compartments detect when items have been removed. Thanks to an AI algorithm, the new model can safely navigate around obstacles, determine the optimal route to its destination(s) and communicate…

…elements - such as traffic lights, automated doors, and elevators - as well as robot-to-robot communication. Centralized communication through a browser-based network operations console provides airport administrators with monitoring capabilities. The console also allows telemetry, navigation, and operational data to be collected and even shared with other robots. Using contextual AI, Ottonomy’s autonomous mobile delivery robots navigate through crowds within PIT’s terminal, learning how to interact with a variety of people. Source: Pittsburgh International Airport Vijay said during initial deployment, only one or two robots are needed to map the operating environment, sharing the data with other robots through the…

…CC1 leverages Internet of Things (IoT) technology — using elevators to move around floors in a building — as well as for connected devices like access controls and e-gates that make it possible to pass through a building automatically. The PUDU CC1 can work with motion sensors that track the volume of people entering a space and dispatch the robot for cleaning only if there is a need for it otherwise skip a task if not needed anymore. This approach to cleaning can significantly reduce the cost of machine wear, water, and cleaning agents for property managers. Designed with sustainability…
