…is to ease the transition from automated guided vehicles (AGVs) to faster-moving autonomous mobile robots (AMRs). This advancement in automation promises to significantly accelerate logistics, said the Dortmund, Germany-based institute. “We’re heading the research aspects for AMRs, and we’re looking at how we can go as fast and as safely as possible in logistics scenarios,” said Julian Eẞer, a robotics and artificial intelligence researcher at Fraunhofer IML. Joseph Fraunhofer was a 19th-century pioneer in optics for telescopes who brought together scientific research with industrial applications. Today, Germany’s Fraunhofer Society claims to be Europe's largest research and development organization and conducts…

…reliability for customers. UPS is using autonomous guided vehicles (AGVs) powered by Dane, Geek+, Locus Robotics, Crown Equipment, and Toyota-Raymond to simplify demanding jobs. Many of these AGVs can move small packages and irregular-sized shipments more safely and easily through UPS facilities, noted the logistics provider. Irregular shipments that don’t fit on conveyor belts can often be heavy and difficult to move, said UPS. These automated vehicles can “exponentially streamline these movements and promote safety,” it claimed. Digital technologies part of competitive strategy UPS said it is also using digital technologies to ensure the safety of every delivery around the…

…are unwilling or unable to standardize on a single AGV or AMR platform,” said Ryan Gariepy, co-founder and chief technology officer at Clearpath and OTTO Motors. “The connector enables VDA 5050-compliant master controllers to manage potentially any ROS2-based AMR in addition to the AGVs [automated guided vehicles] they already support,” he said. “This gives facility owners a 'single pane of glass' for material handling management and reduces the risk of vendor lock-in.” InOrbit is also expanding its ecosystem of partners in Europe by collaborating with Mobile Industrial Robots (MiR), a unit of Teradyne. As a MiR Go partner, InOrbit Connect…

…it’s my imagination, but there seemed to be more AGVs and mobile robots than ever. Shuttles galore: With the explosion of piece picking, it’s no surprise that shuttles to enable goods-to-person piece picking were on prominent display. I noted shuttles at the booths for Dematic, Intelligrated, viastore, Schaefer, OPEX and Knapp to name a few. At the same time, based on the number of pick-and-put-to-light displays I saw, picking mezzanines and putwalls appear to be alive and well. Software is more important than ever: For proof, I note that both Dematic and Intelligrated are sponsoring separate booths just for their…
