…but restrictions are required for safety. Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) use relatively simple localization systems, such as following a line or markers on the floor. Nicholson said although line following is a good localization technique, AGVs don’t have great perception abilities. Object recognition allows computer systems to identify and label items within images. AGV operators can add Slamcore’s hardware box and cameras to their machine to add on the perception of a fully-autonomous robot, including both localization and object recognition. “Vision really comes into its own, because you get so much more spatial data from a stream of images than…

…many warehouses and logistics spaces currently deploy AMRs or AGVs, so how can we view humanoids in this sector? What about other sectors with humanoids? Burnstein: I know organizations like Apptronik are showing videos of a mobile base with a sort of half-humanoid, two-armed robot on top of it. There may be other ways to navigate there or maybe some specific tasks. We see Digit when Agility Robotics shows their demos at trade shows, they usually have Digit unloading a conveyor or doing another specific task… But one of the one of the things that interests me is the automotive…

…building solutions where we put our robot into an AGV with a welding system and the robot can go along the ship welding. We have other projects in aerospace, for instance, for helicopter blades, both the building, assembling and also testing. So, these are some of the new sectors that we are approaching Culverhouse: That's a bit expansive outside of the automotive industry and what you guys are looking to do here. Gorlier: I think the automotive business is the most automatized business. If I remember, right, the last time I checked, automotive is using 10 times more automation than…

The company also revealed partnerships with AI-driven organization GreyOrange, technology company Ericsson and Canadian retailer Indro Robotics. From air and ground in the warehouse Cypher calls its offering ‘The Future of Warehouse Robotics’ because it combines both aerial and ground robotics technology into a single, integrated package. The Captis AGV can find its way around warehouses all on its own. It won’t bump into people or objects, and requires no infrastructure changes. When it’s time for cycle counting, it uses drone technology attached to the ground robot with a tether…
