…of AutoModel signifies and advancement in its OSARO SightWorks perception platform. Speed, adaptation play a major role in AutoModel In order fulfillment, where speed is critical, businesses often face days or weeks of costly downtime to update their robots for new SKUs. In contrast, OSARO says AutoModel enables robots to automatically learn and adapt to new items, processes and workflows with zero downtime. OSARO AutoModel accelerates the introduction and onboarding process of new SKUs, and increases robot productivity. These advancements, according to OSARO, allow for greater flexibility and efficiency in kitting, piece-picking and autobagging. “In the fast-paced world of order…

…three end-of-arm tooling companies - On Robot, OptoForce and Perception Robotics. The company’s mission is to “break down automation barriers and bring the benefits of robotic automation to manufacturers of all sizes.” OnRobot’s history is deeply rooted in robotic grippers. But by the end of 2022, the company took a step in the software direction with D:Ploy. D:Ploy represents an “automated platform for building, running, monitoring and re-deploying collaborative applications,” according to the company. The hardware robot cell represents the integration point, or the D:Ploy brain that connects to the robot arm. The software portion of D:Ploy opens an expansive…

…2024, UR showed a machine-tending application with new AI-based perception capabilities running on NVIDIA Jetson and Isaac acceleration libraries integrated into UR’s new PolyScope X platform. This combination enables dynamic path planning, ensuring the robot takes the most effective, collision-free paths in and out of the machine without requiring extensive user configuration. UR plans to make this technology available for a wide range of applications, including machine tending and other material handling tasks. “AI isn’t just hype,” said Ujjwal Kumar, group president of Teradyne Robotics, parent company of Universal Robots. “We’re seeing significant interest in physical AI. By adding high-performance…

…is a good localization technique, AGVs don’t have great perception abilities. Object recognition allows computer systems to identify and label items within images. AGV operators can add Slamcore’s hardware box and cameras to their machine to add on the perception of a fully-autonomous robot, including both localization and object recognition. “Vision really comes into its own, because you get so much more spatial data from a stream of images than you do from a bunch of laser measurements or from other ultrasonic measurements.” Slamcore’s proprietary AI stack takes in images and outputs object positions with labels. Nicholson said deep learning…

…pallets are located. Compared to human vision and intuitive perception, which can seamlessly locate objects, machine vision requires more discreet steps. ”What the computer gets is just a digital sampling of the space,” Panzarella said. “It is the job of the software algorithms processing the sensor data to precisely localize the pallet in real-time.” Cameras and sensors provide context Seegrid uses a variety of cameras lidar, and other sensors to gather information about the environment enabling the autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) to accurately pick, transport, and place pallets. To facilitate feedback to its pallet manipulation stack, Panzarella said Seegrid uses…
