…robots improve safety and reduce the damage often associated with the manual handling of goods. Its robots use SLAM navigation and LiDAR, along with a host of other sensors. These systems were designed to operate in areas with very tight space constraints at high elevations, such as narrow aisles and minimal pallet spacing in rack, the Moissy-Cramayel, France-based company said. In addition, BALYO added its robots will be simple and easy to deploy for Danone because they do not require any infrastructure changes to the existing facility space.

…in the past year, we've implemented behaviors in the navigation stack,” Wise said. “While they can't be held to functionally safe performance levels, they increase the safety of the platform by handling certain scenarios in the warehouse—for example, social navigation behavior, or keeping the robot on the right side of an aisle. We can't safety rate that, but it makes interactions with people more predictable.” “It's the same with the machine learning stuff we've done with forklift detection,” she added. “It's hard to safety rate but another layer on top of our base security, minimizing scenarios that can cause risk…

…on work instructions, marks on the floor, or point-by-point navigation. To help with these challenges, SICK’s Visionary-T 3D streaming camera and new SensorApps can help. What is the Visionary-T? The Visionary-T takes a snapshot of the surrounding space. Each shot provides data on distance, intensity, and confidence values, which allows it to properly detect obstacles. AGVs and automatic mobile robots (AMRs) equipped with the Visionary-T will be able to slow down, navigate around, or even stop before colliding with the obstacle, thus saving thousands in potential damage or lost efficiency. The Visionary-T is a 3D vision sensor that offers maximum…

…It also features an fusing laser and visual positioning navigation technology that the company said can cut deployment times by 75% without the need to redecorate ceilings. Pudu said this ensures stable operation even in environments with ceilings up to 20 m (65 ft.). In addition, the PuduBot 2 has dual lidar sensors that allow it to constantly and accurately visualize its surroundings and make intuitive course adjustments, according to the company. With the PUDU OS, users can use an intuitive toolkit to design mapping paths and directions for their mobile robot fleets and keep track of each robot's whereabouts…
