…of precision velocity enables a vastly simplified and lower-latency perception stack. We’re pleased to partner with AutoX, a company dedicated to improving the safety and performance of autonomous vehicles.” Eight-channel flash FMCW lidar. Source: SiLC Technologies Muenster explained: “Autonomous vehicles need to perceive objects up to 500 m [1,640.4 ft.] out for safety. With time-of-flight [ToF] and 3D cameras, you need to get pixels at distance to get volume information, which is important for object identification. Cameras are only so good at perceiving objects, and radar is typically blocky or has poor resolution.” “In addition to 4D information, we provide…

…claimed that it is a pioneer in 3D visual perception technology and a “full-stack” developer platform for robotics and artificial intelligence. In April, the Shenzhen, China-based company said its AI-Aided SDK Programming Guide will enable software developers to easily create code through natural-language interactions with ChatGPT. Orbbec integrates with Isaac ROS Orbbec said it is also working on integrating its products into the NVIDIA Isaac ROS platform, a toolkit for AI-powered robots. Once completed, this integration will empower developers to build more capable robots using Orbbec's sensors, the company explained. Beyond the Femto Mega, Orbbec also offers industrial-grade RGB+Depth cameras…

As robotics suppliers work to expand automation to new tasks and markets, their systems need to be easier to train and more flexible. Micropsi Industries has developed MIRAI, a control system that it said enables collaborative robots to perceive and react rather than follow preset programs. Micropsi was founded in 2014 and has offices in Brooklyn, N.Y., and Berlin, Germany. The company is aiming to serve in assembly and test applications for electronics, consumer goods, and other manufacturing. “I have a background in computer science and philosophy, and I got into robotics via artificial intelligence,” said Ronnie Vuine, founder and…

…and Summit Behaviors, which include preset behaviors such as perception, route planning, and accessory control. The company's team also provides Summit Services to implement and optimize systems, including any necessary hardware, sensing, and computing components. “A lot of our Core stack is based on previous vehicles. Summit is unique in its focus for off-road autonomy, but we also have many setups indoors,” Gordon told Robotics 24/7. “Users can swap out different behaviors, such as identifying cargo and picking it up, or picking up a log, moving dirt, or pulling something with a tractor.” How much customization is necessary? “It will…

…systems. It said it is doing that by “integrating perception engineering with imitation learning to create robots that can not only see but adapt.” That process involves computer vision and simulation to allow the robot to visualize and practice in a virtual environment. Earlier this summer, the company launched a crowd funding campaign to raise $8.5 million in seed capital. At the time, Miso Robotics also signed a statement of intent noting that it would become Ally’s first partner and use Ally’s robot arms for its Flippy 2 fry-cooking robot. While it is first working in the food industry, Ally…

…streamlined “center pod” that it said was optimized for perception, scalability, and maintainability. The company has now removed that sensor suite and relocated the front-facing Luminar Iris lidar and wide field-of-view camera to each of its proprietary mirror-mounted SensorPods. By integrating sensors into the SensorPods, and eschewing the “unibrow” sensor suite common in the autonomous trucking industry, Kodiak said it has made it easier for customers to refit their vehicles. The move also doubles the lidar coverage at long range of the Kodiak Driver self-driving technology, said the company. By relocating the sensors to the SensorPods on the side-mounted mirrors,…

…the warehouses and distribution centers using 3D and AI-powered perception,” reads an excerpt from its website. A fully modular system Orlando, Fla.-based Tompkins Robotics said its tSort AMR system is its signature service, which it described as “a game-changing unit and parcel sortation system that performs much like a tilt tray or crossbelt sorter without a fixed track.” Unlike traditional systems, the tSort system is fully modular, the company claims, and “allows robots, chutes or induction stations to be added or removed instantaneously without any interruption or downtime.” “Joining tSort with Plus One’s induction robots is marrying two innovative and…
