…scenarios. With the robot understanding its surroundings and making navigation decisions based on what it sees, Carter Pro is a good example of an on-the-ground option impacting business operations, and the people driving them, right now. Carter Pro takes human-robot interaction and collaboration to a higher, more intuitive level - where the company says autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) on the market have historically fallen short. One of Carter Pro’s defining features is its sense of touch through both active and passive force sensing. Workers can alter the robot’s actions at any time by taking simple, natural measures to physically move…

…commercial IQQA platform supports pre-surgical planning and simulation, intra-operative navigation, and post-operative evaluation. Hundreds of hospital departments have adopted the IQQA products and services, including Mayo Clinic in the U.S. and Peking Union Medical College Hospital, West China Hospital, and Shanghai Ruijin Hospital in China, said EDDA. In 2020, China's National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) granted a Category III registration certificate for IQQA-Guide as the country's first surgical navigation medical device for soft tissue organs. The agency said it offers “significant clinical benefits, increasing interventional accuracy, reducing the number of needle passes and intraoperative CT scanning.” The U.S. Food and…

…surfaces. 3. Evaluate environmental factors that can affect autonomous navigation. Environmental conditions within a facility may impact AMR performance. Evaluate factors such as temperature, humidity, and lighting, as well as the presence of dust, debris, and hazardous materials. It is important to select AMRs that can operate well in these conditions. Some AMRs may require additional protection or customization to handle extreme temperatures or challenging environmental factors. By considering the environment, organizations can ensure optimal AMR performance and longevity. 4. Ensure proper obstacle detection and awareness of robot surroundings. A critical aspect of successful AMR implementation is the robot's ability…

…navigate. Instead, ultrasonic and localization technologies are emerging for navigation to pin-point damage mechanisms, as well as provide reproducible data. These deliverables can help predict the future safety of the sites being inspected. Challenges inside GPS-denied environments The main reason for sending mobile robots for inspection, maintenance, and repair is to avoid putting employees in dangerous situations. Inspections are necessary for identifying, predicting, and managing problems that could require maintenance to guarantee the longevity of industrial plant operations. But relying on humans to carry out traditional inspection methods means that health, safety, reliability, and speed can be overlooked. Instead, robotic…
