…handle nearly 50,000 pieces daily, said the company. Such gains are becoming more common as more warehouses and logistics settings adopt automation. Along with e-commerce fulfillment centers and huge distribution centers, warehouses are busier than ever since the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. As the tempo of e-commerce increases, so has demand for supply chain efficiency and resilience. This is driving the development of smarter and capable robots to move goods. Logistics robot ecosystem builds While some warehouses have automated, plenty still have not, according to research conducted by M14 Intelligence on the future of robotics in the warehouse. “More…

…to improve their batting performance. A lot of their gains come from practices between games. Toronto-based Trajekt Sports has developed a robotic pitching system designed to make those training sessions even more valuable. Using trajectory data collected from major league pitchers, machine learning, high-precision motors, image processing, and ball-tracking technology, the team at Trajekt has developed Arc, a pitching machine that can emulate the speed and pitching style of professional players. The system is already being used by seven major baseball teams, including the Chicago Cubs, according to Trajekt CEO Joshua Pope. Pope came up with the idea for the…

…challenging terrain. The simulator's speed allowed the robot to gain six years of experience in a single day. The simulator also stored the motor skills it learned during training in a neural network that the researchers copied to the real robot. This approach did not require any hand engineering of the robot’s movements — a departure from traditional methods. Most robotic systems use cameras to create a map of the surrounding environment and use that map to plan movements before executing them. The process is slow and can often falter due to inherent fuzziness, inaccuracies, or misperceptions in the mapping…
