…number of options before choosing Ati Motors. Ati Motors' Sherpa autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) stood out because of their ease of use and the Bengaluru, India-based company's strong customer support through a robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) model. The AMRs have an electric drive train and a custom-built autonomy stack. Unlike automated guided vehicles (AGVs), Ati said its AMRs require less infrastructure and allow for more sophisticated fleet management. Not only did Hyundai Motor India's deployment of its first Sherpas reduce dependence on manual operations, but it also led the company to consider adding more robots for different manufacturing processes.

“Stepper motors? Servo motors must have better performance.” This is a typical response when asked about stepper motors. Obviously, there is a major misconception about stepper motors. In fact, stepper motors have been used in various types of applications such as advanced equipment and accessible automated instruments. The reasons why stepper motors have been continuously chosen are explained in this article. Some readers may say that they have never seen a stepper motor before. Stepper motors have been used in many applications and industries as the motor solution for drive systems requiring high accuracy control, such as factory automation (FA),…

For decades, only large manufacturers had the expertise, space, and budgets for automation, but new technologies and business models are making robotics more accessible to small and midsize enterprises. Labor shortages, the reshoring of production, competitive pressures, and government incentives are encouraging smaller businesses to evaluate and adopt robots. They are proving useful for tasks such as materials handling, piece picking, welding, and cleaning. Companies can now scale quickly, thanks to advancements in both hardware and software. And with robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) payment models, customers may not need to make major capital investments upfront. That’s not all. Robotics software is also…
