…His presentation covers mixed reality storytelling, gesture sensing, and swarm robotics—a glimpse of the promise of augmented reality. There will also be a robust lineup of technical papers. CFD and Airborne Contagion Control One way is to minimize COVID infection, is to implement effective aid duct and ventilation systems to minimize airborne contagion. SimulationHUB, the developers of the on-demand browser-based CFD analysis program by the same name, shows how to set up and design airborne infection isolation rooms to study and redirect airflow as needed in hospitals and healthcare facilities. The strategy is part of CDC’s recommendation on treating contagious…

…about drones (watch the video to the right). Ominous swarms of black octocopter drones descend on innocent bystanders, dropping packages on cars and slamming into glass windows. It’s laughable because of its absurdity, but is it a legitimate fear? Ironically, the video ends with the tagline, “Advanced technology doesn’t have to be intimidating.” However, people just don’t seem to like drones. That said, everyone loves what drones can actually do. Ordering in? You could get a pizza delivered to your door in ten minutes. Shopping online? Amazon’s 30-minute package delivery could get consumer products to you in record time. In…

…in a goods to robot situation, or utilizing a “swarm strategy” in mobile collaborative robots. It’s important to understand the problem you want to solve, and then find the partner with a solution for your problem. That doesn’t mean there isn’t a risk: One of the things that George Babu said was that this is a new tool for the warehouse and distribution center. If you’re an early adopter, “You have to make a bet.” Parrott said something similar, pointing out that robotics have come a long way, but are not as accurate as a barcode scanner. “Being 93% accurate…
