Mujin develops and sells “intelligent robot controllers,” designated as a common platform for industrial robots. Even though conventional automation is suitable for repetitive work, it was difficult to install in environments where products and the surroundings are liable to change. This was due to the robots’ operations differing by the manufacturer and the complex settings. Mujin, which has offices in the U.S., Japan, and China, said it has solved this problem using motion-planning technology. It provides robotics systems so factories and warehouses can automate heavy or simple work that previously had to be done manually.

…provider Shape Process Automation (SPA) and robotics technology company Mujin last week announced a collaboration to enhance SPA’s robotic automation solutions with Mujin’s intelligent robotics platform. At the Automate 2022 trade show, Mujin will showcase a mixed-case depalletizing and palletizing system. In addition to the Mujin-powered depalletizing and palletizing application, Shape Process Automation will also feature its innovative robotic laser cutting solution showcasing how its Newton technology can increase part throughput and dimensional quality compared to traditional CNC cutting processes, specifically when dealing with EV lightweight materials. This demo will specifically focus on how battery trays can be manufactured and…

…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…

…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…

At MODEX 2022, Mujin Corp. plans to debut mixed-case robotic palletizing with intelligent buffer and re-sequencing capability. The Tokyo-based company said the novel application demonstrates how robots can perform challenging picking and packing tasks without advanced programming. Mixed-case palletizing has been difficult to automate, according to Mujin. Traditionally, this labor-intensive operation requires material handlers to store the cases for an order until there are enough cases to build the pallet. Recently, many organizations have begun automating the storage and sequencing of goods to make human packers more efficient, but such material handling equipment is expensive and has a large footprint,…

…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…

Mujin Inc., a Japanese company that has brought “machine intelligence” to robots across Asia since 2011, today opened its first office in North America. Mujin Corp.'s facility in Sandy Springs, Ga., north of Atlanta, will house its expanding engineering, sales, and support staff, including Ross Diankov, co-founder of Mujin and CEO of Mujin Corp. “Companies that want to automate mundane and repetitive material-handling tasks face a myriad of challenges, from the high costs of developing solutions for their difficult applications to unscheduled downtime and reprogramming costs when things don’t go as planned, or when robots must be reprogrammed due to…
