…intense labor associated with it all. Scalable and adaptable swarms The technology outlook for this segment, follows the development path of so many other use cases of robotics in an industry niche: technology development is underway by researchers in academia and at many colleges and universities worldwide. For example, adaptive swarm robots have the potential to provide significant environmental and economic benefits. Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi recently received funding from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture through the National Robotics Initiative 3.0 program to develop swarm robots to be used in agricultural applications. The…

…adapt to changing circumstances on the fly. Autonomous robot swarms can share the load As AMR technology advances further, we expect even more exciting developments in this field, with autonomous robots becoming more intelligent and versatile than ever before. One such development is swarm autonomy. Picture a swarm of bees flying together in perfect formation, each bee adjusting its flight pattern in real-time to maintain the optimal position. In a warehouse setting, swarm autonomy requires a wireless communications network with real-time capability. Using a combination of sensors and artificial intelligence or machine learning algorithms, the AMRs can communicate with one…

…like a tugger pulling other carts behind it. It follows a picker who controls the bot with a device. “Swarm me” approach: The robot, integrated with the Warehouse Management System, waits for nearby pickers to interact with it. “Holy Grail” approach: The robot has piece-picking capabilities and travels autonomously to a pick location and does the picking. This approach does not involve humans.

Both system-directed, and swarm robots, are types of collaborative mobile robots, ones that work closely alongside your associates. These types of systems attempt to increase productivity rates compared to manual cart picking by reducing unnecessary walking and manual labor, speeding up workflows and reducing training time. Both approaches can provide benefits over cart-based picking, but there are significant differences as well. Before comparing and contrasting methodologies, let’s define each robotic approach. System-directed picking robots At its simplest, an associate meets a robot and is directed from pick to pick. This can be broken into traditional zones or utilize a more…

…- Amazon has given no indication that it will actually be darkening the skies above our cities with huge, drone-swarm-deploying blimps anytime soon. Given that the drone delivery program is still mired in a sea of regulatory tape in the United States, it could still be a while before we even see terrestrial Amazon drones, which have just begun testing in the UK. That said, it’s clear that the scale of Amazon’s drone dreams - as seen in the airborne fulfillment center patent - could go far beyond what anyone had imagined.

…in a GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System)-denied environment. A swarm of UAVs must identify a target vessel from several similar vessels in open waters in a GNSS-denied environment. It must then offload specific items from the target onto an USV in the shortest possible time using autonomous technologies. Morrish said this is a new kind of exercise for robotics. “A nice thing about this challenge is that you tell people what you want, but you don’t specify an approach to do it,” he said. “The very idea of the MBZIRC Maritime Grand Challenge is born out of our belief that…
