…several igus components, including robots and automated guided vehicles (AGVs), to breed worms that are used for fishing. The system allows feeding and irrigation to be carried out around the clock. Robots start facing the public As low-cost automation takes root, it becomes even more forward-facing. Customers at the chocolate store, for instance, were impressed by the novelty of the project (see video below). The process includes a touchscreen terminal, a smartphone, and an electric assistant. It moves up and down the glass room, pivots its arm in all directions, picks up the chocolates with a suction pad, places them…

…codes/fiducials or magnetic tape, like an automated guided vehicle (AGV). This dual capability give LilBuddy greater versatility within its working environment, claimed Resgreen Group. What’s inside LilBuddy LilBuddy features front and rear solid-state 2D/3D lidars that are used to map the areas traveled in and detect obstacles in its path. Once LilBuddy learns the map, it can be dispatched to any location with triggers and commands from BotWay and BotWay connected devices. Routes, a series of waypoints and commands, can also be set up with a companion app or BotWay to specify exact movements and commands in long-distance travel or…

…an OnRobot gripper, and a custom-made automated guided vehicle (AGV) base. Doosan displays commercial cobot uses In addition to its “closer-to-consumer” (C2C) markets, Doosan Robotics demonstrated its Dart suite for managing robots worldwide. The software is intended to democratize autonomy by enabling authorized users to see an entire warehouse fleet worldwide and to review the status and utilization of individual robots. Dart uses artificial intelligence to optimize actions, and customers can contact engineers on Doosan's TST team if necessary. Doosan demonstrated industrial applications with its U.S. partners, including assembly, specifically screwdriving, with Tool House; machine tending with Ellison; welding with…
