…picking robot at Intelligrated’s booth – working with a shuttle – I noticed the AutoStore has a large presence at the show and, maybe it’s my imagination, but there seemed to be more AGVs and mobile robots than ever. Shuttles galore: With the explosion of piece picking, it’s no surprise that shuttles to enable goods-to-person piece picking were on prominent display. I noted shuttles at the booths for Dematic, Intelligrated, viastore, Schaefer, OPEX and Knapp to name a few. At the same time, based on the number of pick-and-put-to-light displays I saw, picking mezzanines and putwalls appear to be alive…

Self-driving shuttle buses are a potential solution to transit challenges such as emissions and traffic congestion. Because they typically operate in more constrained routes than passenger cars or trucks, shuttles can provide autonomous services more immediately than other autonomous vehicles still in development. Optimus Ride Inc. today said it and its partners have obtained a grant of up to $4.3 million from the U.S. Department of Energy that will enable one of the largest deployments of autonomous shuttles in the U.S. over a three-year period. Optimus Ride is collaborating with Clemson University, the University of California, Berkeley, and Argonne National…
