…the following eight projects. AI Robot Programming Assistance Lead: University of Memphis Partners: READY Robotics, FedEx, DeepHow Description: There are technologies that can now dramatically reduce the knowledge necessary to program and install a robot, using no-code methods that make robotic programming accessible to those on the factory floor. However, there is still the limitation of process automation knowledge that can bottleneck or be a detriment to a successful robotic installation. This project aims to create an assistance system that can act as a stopgap for this lack of expertise by providing suggestions and corrections during robot task programming. This…

…interoperability project with Siemens, FedEx, Yaskawa, Waypoint, and the University of Memphis. Since some of the participants are in multiple groups, they are able to coordinate efforts and focus on different aspects of the challenge. “Now that the MassRobotics standard is published, they can use it in their projects where it's applicable,” said Walker. “We've been talking with anyone who will listen about this, and customers should push for adoption. Because it's lightweight, there's no fear if they decide to follow it.” At the A3 panel on “Interoperabilty for AMRs: Exploring the Path Forward,” Pestoni and Jose Luis Susa Rincon,…
