…Robots' booth B2805, visitors will learn how automation company Mujin is using Universal Robots' UR10e for mixed case depalletizing. “Collaborative robots have completely changed the way industry utilizes robotics,” says Josh Cloer, director of sales at Mujin. “UR brings flexibility, ease-of-use and ready-to-deploy tools making it simple for manufacturers to automate nearly any repetitive task. Together with UR, Mujin brings these same benefits to the warehouse,” he said. Cloer added that Mujin's advanced 3D vision and real-time motion planning technologies can automate the deployment of difficult applications like mixed-case handling, sorting, and order filling. For palletizing applications requiring a heavier-payload…

…have become needs. First, the basics of the system: Mujin and MHS have come up with a palletizing robot and autonomous mobile robot (AMR) combo. It eliminates long, fixed conveyors that feed individual cases to a single, centralized palletizing station. Instead, shorter conveyor feeds cases to robots located close to the production lines. Throughput is up to 120 cases an hour with expected 99.95% accuracy. Bleikamp explains: “This is a great opportunity to automate a process while maximizing flexibility and taking people out of the equation so they can be redeployed to tasks that make better use of their skills.”…

…more advanced AI and machine learning capabilities, he said. Mujin robot doesn't use a neural net Other companies using AI with picking robots rely heavily on neural networks, but they are very difficult to train, asserted Brandon Coats, director of system innovation at Mujin Inc. “No matter what you do, it will never be 100% accurate,” he said. “So we’re going in and using a model-based definition approach.” That approach relies on a combination of sensing the environment and then using it for measurements, path planning, and execution. This enables a picking robot to have a target and a plan…

…anywhere the robot is capable of traveling, said Honeywell. Mujin Mujin Inc.’s robotic palletizing with autonomous mobile robot pallet transport includes a gripper capable of handling cases, slip sheets, and pallets to build multiple pallets into a single stack, after which AMRs deliver the full pallet to the pallet break down area. AMRs will also bring empty pallets and slip sheets to the work cell, said the Japanese company. The robot arm is equipped with 3D vision on the gripper to find the position of the pallets and slip sheets for the robot to pick, using the company’s proprietary perception…

…Josh Cloer, director of sales at robot software provider Mujin. “The situation has evolved into a matter of: ‘Can you do this work without automation?’” All of this makes the return on investment (ROI) less of a question and more of an urgent need. There has never been a better time to justify automated palletizing equipment. Overcoming palletizing challenges While plenty of progress has been made in making palletizing equipment more capable, the biggest challenge for fitting it into your processes remains the fact that it’s best suited for high-volume, low-mix operations. “It’s tougher if you have a high-mix, low-volume…

…and more accurate, with less AI overhead. CapSen Robotics, Mujin, and Soft Robotics provided some examples. Most of the collaborative robot suppliers showed welding cells, with Universal Robots leading the way with its first cobot TIG welding and spot welding applications with partners THG Automation and Pro Spot, respectively (see video below). Kane Robotics and FerRobotics used a UR cobot to demonstrate grinding and surface finishing (see photo, top right). Affordability and ease of use were important, as igus demonstrated with its low-cost automation line at Automate. The motion plastics supplier openly listed the prices for all its robots, components,…

…and head of sales and support with ROEQ. At Mujin, which was demonstrating robotic case palletizing and depalletizing at Automate, the platform approach is key to the company’s value add, in that warehouse systems integrators don’t need to cobble together solutions elements like articulating arms, vision, or mobile robots to move pallets. “The overall theme for us is showcasing our robotics platform and how it simplifies solutions delivery for our integrator partners,” said Josh Cloer, director of sales at Mujin. “If you were to do this in the traditional way, taking an industrial robot from one leading provider, and vision…

…we saw vendors such as Addverb Technologies, Geek+, or Mujin showing off their robot portfolios. Or, we saw vendors like RightHand Robotics, HAI Robotics, or Tompkins Robotics demonstrating how all of their different robot types could work together. For instance, RightHand showed its robot picking not only from a tote to a tote, but also to a tote on someone else’s AMR and onto a Tompkins T-Sort. HAI Robotics demonstrated how its robot could be part of what Klappich describes as a heterogenous setup. Robot proliferation leads to management questions The shift from homogenous robot fleets to heterogenous environments raises…

…robotic trailer unloading – including Boston Dynamics, Dextrous Robotics, Mujin, and Pickle. It’s a hard problem, but it’s a multi-billion-dollar business if you can solve it. Dr. Bernard Casse, CEO, RIOS Boston Dynamics’ recent deal with DHL shows there’s money to be made. Another trend is multi-fleet robot orchestration. We’ve noticed the rise of autonomous mobile robots in warehouses, so now everyone is focusing on how to control their fleets instead of a single AMR. A bunch of companies is developing software to control fleets of AMRs where each has a different function, such as CoEvolution, InOrbit, GreyOrange, Locus Robotics,…
