…and more accurate, with less AI overhead. CapSen Robotics, Mujin, and Soft Robotics provided some examples. Most of the collaborative robot suppliers showed welding cells, with Universal Robots leading the way with its first cobot TIG welding and spot welding applications with partners THG Automation and Pro Spot, respectively (see video below). Kane Robotics and FerRobotics used a UR cobot to demonstrate grinding and surface finishing (see photo, top right). Affordability and ease of use were important, as igus demonstrated with its low-cost automation line at Automate. The motion plastics supplier openly listed the prices for all its robots, components,…

…robotic trailer unloading – including Boston Dynamics, Dextrous Robotics, Mujin, and Pickle. It’s a hard problem, but it’s a multi-billion-dollar business if you can solve it. Dr. Bernard Casse, CEO, RIOS Boston Dynamics’ recent deal with DHL shows there’s money to be made. Another trend is multi-fleet robot orchestration. We’ve noticed the rise of autonomous mobile robots in warehouses, so now everyone is focusing on how to control their fleets instead of a single AMR. A bunch of companies is developing software to control fleets of AMRs where each has a different function, such as CoEvolution, InOrbit, GreyOrange, Locus Robotics,…

…Josh Cloer, director of sales at robot software provider Mujin. “The situation has evolved into a matter of: ‘Can you do this work without automation?’” All of this makes the return on investment (ROI) less of a question and more of an urgent need. There has never been a better time to justify automated palletizing equipment. Overcoming palletizing challenges While plenty of progress has been made in making palletizing equipment more capable, the biggest challenge for fitting it into your processes remains the fact that it’s best suited for high-volume, low-mix operations. “It’s tougher if you have a high-mix, low-volume…
