…operations.” Realtime technology to be used by FANUC and Schaeffler Special Machinery In the Automatica TestZone, taking place in Booth A5.530, Realtime’s technology will be on display in an industrial assembly screw automation using two FANUC 200iD 7L robots, one ABB IRB 1200 5-90 robot, and one KUKA KR_6_R700 robot. Users will be able to control the robots using a touch pendant (sending robots to single targets at a time and then jogging the robots to see if there is a collision), changing the sequence of the program easily. The demo shows the power of Realtime’s RapidPlan to enable multi-robot…

…fitting the autonomous challenge secures from industry leaders like Schaeffler, Bridgestone, Cisco and AWS. Luminar provides our lidars and then the teams had to pay $300,000 to acquire the car. Essentially, in the autonomous challenge, we raise sponsorship money through donations of hardware and software. We also subsidize the car cost a bit, but we wanted to make sure that teams were invested in the asset. Can anyone apply and participate? Mitchell: Yes. We ran a prize competition where we had an open call, and we had 41 universities from around the world that signed up. Those universities, over the…

…suppliers such as Luminar for lidar, Aptiv for radar, Schaeffler for drive by wire, and Cisco for networking and vehicle-to-vehicle communications. IAC also worked with New Eagle for software and ADLINK for hardware. They're known players in the autonomous vehicle industry and saw the race as a good testbed for infrastructure. How did you choose component technology providers? Mitchell: We chose one OEM, but not using its full stack. We chose components to have diverse partners and sponsors. For example, Luminar is a poster child for how the IAC can harmonize perfectly with a company bringing new technology to market.…
