…a few features,” said Murali Gopalakrishna, general manager for robotics at NVIDIA. “We built the Isaac simulation engine to not only create better photorealistic environments, but also to provide for synthetic data generation and domain randomization to train robots using reinforcement learning in warehouses and factories of the future.” Omniverse to simulate the factory of the future The company said that Omniverse is native to the cloud, is scalable to multiple graphics processing units (GPUs), and uses RTX real-time path planning and Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS). It can also realistically simulate materials with NVIDIA Material Definition Language (MDL), simulate…

…Safety to Live,” and they invest in autonomous vehicles, robotics, smart cities, and other innovations. CARMERA is Woven Planet's second major deal in North America. In April, Woven Planet announced its acquisition of Level 5, the self-driving division of Lyft Inc., for $550 million. CARMERA enables faster map updates CARMERA said it builds on vehicular crowdsourcing and remote sensing to capture street-level change at global breadth and HD depth. The company, which has offices in New York and Seattle, uses an open systems approach to working with leading automotive companies, commercial mobility operators, and mapping platforms. CARMERA said its employees…

…unit’s voltage and current requirements (averaging less than 1.2 amps under standard operation) can reduce installation and energy costs, enabling narrower-gauge wire and smaller, less expensive power supplies to be used. Integral onboard energy storage allows power to be slowly “sipped” from the main bus during the entire cycle, actuating the solenoid with bursts of power to generate high velocity as needed. Johnson Electric said the integrated drive unit eliminates the needs for an external solenoid driver, control box, and assembly labor. Solligence fast rotary actuators generate minimal impact energy when activated, which Johnson Electric said can enable a service…

…Canada's economic development agency, to continue work on its robotic welding systems. The company said the investment, which equals $1,562,688 (U.S.), is expected to support over 50 new jobs at Novarc Technologies Inc. and generate increased revenues. “Welding is needed to build key infrastructure, in a variety of industrial settings, such as hospitals, wastewater treatment plants, and shipyards,” the company said in a statement. “As such, the need for prefabrication has grown up to 20% for pipe welding. Novarc's solution automates the manufacturing process of welding - allowing welders of all skill levels to work collaboratively with the robot -…

…ResGreen can use wireless power for LilBuddy,” he told Robotics 24/7. “Its value proposition resonates with wireless charging.” WiBotic adds resilience to recharging Seattle-based WiBotic specializes in advanced charging and power optimization for aerial drones, mobile robots, and industrial automation. The company said its wireless charging capabilities allow the AMRs to charge efficiently and frequently without wearing out contacts or requiring precise navigation to charging stations. What are some of the environmental challenges for wireless charging? “One of the biggest challenges is the tolerance,” Waters replied. “A company might want accuracy to 1 cm, based on the robot's lidar and…

…Carlson, vice president of business development at WiBotic, answered Robotics 24/7's questions about the new chargers: Can you give an example of a robot that will benefit from the passively cooled OC-262 onboard charger? Carlson: Any robot that operates in difficult environmental conditions, or where forced air cooling may be challenging, will benefit from the two OC-262 models. Because the OC-262-WP is waterproof and fully sealed, it is particularly good for outdoor robots or those that operate in difficult environments such as dusty steel mills or near corrosive saltwater. We just recently engaged a customer who is deploying it in…
