…molding, pad printing, heat stamping, and pick-and-place operations, said Ready Robotics. Unlike other robots, RMO comes with with machine vision and pretrained artificial intelligence so it can get to work in less than a day, it claimed. In addition, the company said an entire RMO fleet can share expertise and new skills through the cloud, gaining capabilities over time. Each RMO is controlled via tablet, so no robotics expertise required, and it can be easily repurposed for new tasks as the need arises using 3D-printed grippers that can be quickly fabricated on site for no additional charge, Ready Robotics said.…

…and Technology (NIST), General Electric Research, Siemens Technology, and Ready Robotics. ARM said the companies have signed conflict-of-interest agreements to protect the survey takers’ information. The working group’s feedback “has been monumental” in helping the institute understand how the technology it is testing within its own walls is being used in market, Skocik said. He said a lot of the projects ARM works on are systems that are between Level 4 through 7 on the technology readiness level (TRL) scale. The working group is serving as a reality check in a way. “The feedback we are getting from membership is:…

…last year to meet demand from the COVID-19 pandemic. Ready Robotics partnered with eKAMI, providing its Forge/OS to help operators learn how to program robots from multiple brands with a single platform in just three weeks. The organization will use the state funding to build a center to offer a national manufacturing robotics credentials track for people incarcerated at the East Kentucky Correctional Complex in Morgan County. The goal is to not only help rehabilitate prisoners but also to revitalize the region with well-paying careers in industries of the future. “Thanks to this AML funding, eKAMI looks forward to Kentucky…

…AI Robot Programming Assistance Lead: University of Memphis Partners: READY Robotics, FedEx, DeepHow Description: There are technologies that can now dramatically reduce the knowledge necessary to program and install a robot, using no-code methods that make robotic programming accessible to those on the factory floor. However, there is still the limitation of process automation knowledge that can bottleneck or be a detriment to a successful robotic installation. This project aims to create an assistance system that can act as a stopgap for this lack of expertise by providing suggestions and corrections during robot task programming. This system will use artificial…

…deploy AI-based robots, said NVIDIA. Manufacturers can work with READY Robotics to program their robot tasks in simulation before deploying in the real world. NVIDIA noted that simulation technology partners such as SoftServe and FS Studio can shorten development timelines for customers by building digital twin-based simulations. Also at the application level, NVIDIA Metropolis includes a collection of AI workflows that enable industrial automation providers and manufacturers to develop, deploy, and manage customized quality-control systems. They can thus save costs and improve production throughput, the company said. A large partner ecosystem—including ADLINK, Aetina, Deloitte, Quantiphi, and Siemens—is helping to bring…
