…if the pick was right or wrong by colors, haptic and audio feedback. There's lights, colors and a bit of movement in the device. With all the devices, no matter if it has a display or not, I have this type of feedback.” Along with the scanners, ProGlove customers are able to access and ingest this data through a phone/tablet application. Warehouse workers wearing a MARK or Leo without a display can confirm their picking selection and next destination on the app. MARK Display wearers can receive a message, albeit with small text and screen space, with this same information.]…

…have been investing heavily in automation. Now we have haptic sensors and companies like FANUC, Honeywell, Omron, and Yaskawa rolling out robotics. And there's more autonomous technology coupled with 5G, whose low latency can help supply chains. It's like working from home—a tech-based shift in the economy. Our robotics and AI index is tracked by the largest ETFs in the world. Global X funds has an ETF launched with clients in Australia, Europe, and Japan. People are realizing it's a big deal. Deloitte expects the value of the whole segment to have a CAGR [compound annual growth rate] of 17.5%…

…as augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR), digital twins, and haptics. Attendees and speakers at the MassRobotics and Suffolk Technologies event in Roxbury, Mass. Robots can provide a 'single source of truth' While construction has plenty of examples of dull, dirty, or dangerous work suitable for robots, there is a lack of standardization and focus on subcontractors, acknowledged Aidan Maguire, division manager for equipment manufacturer Hilti North America. He participated in a panel on “On-Site Challenges of Adopting New Tech” moderated by Kelsey Gauger, national director for operational excellence at Suffolk Construction. There needs to be a “single source of truth”…

…user in real time. Operators can use a wearable haptic glove to control Välkky, which is the first robot of its kind, claimed Touchlab. It can serve meals, move assistive devices, or help brush a patient's hair, the company said. Additional applications for the technology could include nuclear decommissioning, said Touchlab. Robots with a sense of touch could reduce employee exposure to jobs that are hazardous, as well as enter more people's daily lives, it noted. “Touchlab uses the latest robotics innovations very impressively to help address some of healthcare’s current challenges at Laakso Hospital,” said Narcís Miguel i Baños,…

…“rival human hand dexterity and fine manipulation with proprietary haptic technology that mimics the sense of touch” Aesthetics including a bold color palette and elevated textures. Sanctuary AI said its humanoid robot is different from others in the industry because of its literal take on “general-purpose” and its emphasis on creating a technology that can conduct physical work just like a person. “To be general-purpose, a robot needs to be able to do nearly any work task, the way you’d expect a person to, in the environment where the work is,” said Rose. “While it is easy to get fixated…

…applications. RIOS Intelligent Machines Inc. said it has developed haptic intelligence for manipulation tasks that were previously difficult to automate, such as packing, machine tending, and autobagging. Smarter and more dexterous robots sound great, but how can the majority of warehouses, which are not yet automated, get started with them? Robotics 24/7 chatted with Dr. Bernard Casse, founder and CEO of RIOS, about rethinking business models as capital becomes scarce and how the robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) model can enable robot adoption.

…range and are designed for surgical robotics, end effectors, haptic devices, small joints, and other compact robotics applications. The series features two versions: The Denali XCR, a miniature, ready-to-use version, enabling quick installation and system commissioning The Denali NET, an ultra-compact, high-power density version. This pluggable design is optimal for a carrier board, with single or multi-axis integration, said Celera. Both versions are available with EtherCAT and CANopen communication protocols, specially optimized for demanding multi-axis applications, according to the company. Denali supports EtherCAT with a bus latency down to 1 cycle. This can improve the cost-efficiency of embedding multiple axes…

…BeBop seeks levels of precision, reliability McMillen came into haptic sensing through music. “We started working with musical instruments and fabric sensors 14 years ago,” he said. “I wanted to make a sensor violin bow for the Kronus Quartet, and it needed a cylindrical grip so musicians could tell what they're doing.” “Four years later, it was stabilized with 80 dB of dynamic range, and resolution to smaller than 2 mm pitch just became a choice,” explained McMillen. “The fabric will fit any geometry. Our circuitry design is quite flexible, allowing BeBop to make it for 40 to 50 different…

…than $58 million. The Redmond, Wash.-based company is developing haptic gloves and sensors for virtual reality, robotic teleoperation, and other applications. HaptX claimed that its technology “simulates touch sensation with unprecedented realism.” Unlike other haptic gloves, which are limited to vibration and force feedback, HaptX Gloves physically displace the user's skin the way a real object would, said the company. More than 130 points of tactile feedback per hand enable natural interaction and true-contact haptics, it added. The proceeds from this round fund commercialization of next-generation products building on the success of HaptX's award-winning HaptX Gloves DK2, said the company.…

…Robotics 24/7 the AMRs were built to understand human haptics. Factory operators can teach a mobile robot the layout of a facility by walking it around the location. Agarwal compared it to walking around a grocery store with a shopping cart (see video below). Once in operation, workers can also easily redirect the robot's path while in motion by placing their hands on the system and walking it in the direction it needs to go.
