…in motion is also important forn many robotics applications in the logistics, pharmaceutical, and medical sectors. This level of perception opens up new areas for mobile robots. Visitors to last month's VISION show in Stuttgart had a unique opportunity to see Boston Dynamics’ Spot equipped with MotionCam-3D Color. The four-legged robot moved deliberately in the crowd, demonstrating the tremendous potential of these combined technologies. Besides robotics, Photoneo’s technology also opens new applications for 3D model creation in the Metaverse, digital twins, or teleoperation of industrial applications. About the author Andrea Pufflerova is public relations specialist at Photoneo.

…QuickBot uses the MujinController intelligent robot controller. MujinController’s advanced perception and real-time motion planning enables the depalletizing systems to recognize cases on the fly. This feature allows QuickBot to manage real-world scenarios for both single and mixed-SKU pallet loads without prior “teaching” or information from external systems. “With motion planning, there's no more need for waypoints, and a real-time digital twin gives the controller machine intelligence,” said Josh Cloer, Mujin’s director of sales, in a panel at Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) and Logistics Week. In addition, Mujin has equipped the QuickBot arm with a universal, heavy payload gripper to meet…

…data collection is an important part of training AI perception models. The performance of these new GEMs on the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin platform measured at 2x 1080p stereo cameras at 30 fps (>120 fps total), reducing data footprint by ~10x. Mission Dispatch and Client Mission Dispatch and Client provide a standard, open source way to assign and track tasks between a fleet management system and ROS 2 robots. Dispatch and Client communicate using VDA5050, an open standard for communications designed specifically for robot fleets. Messages are transmitted wirelessly over MQTT, a lightweight messaging protocol for Internet of Things (IoT)…
