…and build really cool things for both commercial and STEM [science, technology, engineering, and mathematics] educational customers.” AMD said the KD240 supports Matlab Simulink, Ubuntu, and ROS 2. Source: Advanced Micro Devices Scalable SOMs offer accessibility Kria SOMs allow developers to skip the substantial design efforts around the selected silicon device and instead focus on providing differentiated, value-added features, said AMD. Connector compatibility enables easy migration between the K24 and K26 SOM without changing boards, said AMD. This allows system architects to balance power, performance, size, and cost for energy-efficient systems, it said. “The K24 complements the K26,” said Khona.…

…back-end software including the central control system. This standard stems from the collaboration between the VDMA, an association of German and European mechanical and plant engineering companies, and the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA). Even though German organizations are developing VDA 5050, industry observers expect it to reach widely across Europe and other regions. The two standards have different objectives. VDA 5050 aims to enable AGVs and AMRs from multiple manufacturers to work together using one common fleet management system, while the MassRobotics standard focuses on sharing basic data. Since the VDA 5050 standard and MassRobotics AMR Interoperability…

…it will show a science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education package with a cobot training cart. The CRB 1300 SWIFTI robot bridges the gap between industrial and collaborative robots, claimed ABB. Combining speed and accuracy with expanded load-handling capability of up to 11 kg (24.2 lb.), the system can be used in a wide variety of production and product-handling applications, said the company. The SWIFTI CRB 1300 is powered by ABB’s OmniCore C90XT controller. It is up to five times more precise than any cobot in its class, making it suitable for tasks requiring consistent accuracy and repeatability, ABB…
