…aisles. Researchers at the Rochester Institute of Technology, or RIT, are developing an intelligent materials handling system for warehouses that integrates lidar sensors and artificial intelligence. With supply chain challenges brought on by the pandemic and increased demands for e-commerce, technology can provide the support businesses need to improve productivity, efficiency, and safety in a warehouse setting. “This is one area where robotics and autonomous material handling can help,” said Michael Kuhl, professor of industrial and systems engineering in RIT’s Kate Gleason College of Engineering. “Robots can work longer periods of time—not necessarily to replace jobs, but on some of…

…and feature set.” Avidbots tests Neo Disinfection Add-On at RIT Founded in 2014, Avidbots offers service and support to customers on five continents. The Kitchener, Ontario-based company has been beta testing the mobile robot sprayer at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) in New York. “Going back four or five years now, we got our first Neo,” said Derek Sylvester, director of building environmental services at RIT. “We have roughly 7 million sq. ft. of space, built in the 1960s, with 15-ft.-wide institutional corridors. We needed to get more work done with less people. With wages up almost 25% across…

…Michael Kuhl, professor of industrial and systems engineering in RIT’s Kate Gleason College of Engineering stated the obvious: “This is one area where robotics and autonomous material handling can help. Robots can work for longer periods of time—not necessarily to replace jobs, but on some of the manual, non-value-added tasks. It means a change of focus of jobs, with people needed to design and maintain fleets of vehicles and robots.” Kuhl and his project team received a grant for “Effective and efficient driving for material handling.” It is a $300,000 project sponsored by The Raymond Corporation and continues earlier work…
