…in using AI, so not only is there a navigation and control algorithm, but we can ask the AI engine to make some decisions and increase the autonomy level.” Racing to Innovate with AI and 3D Printing Kayacan says the lab is currently investigating the type of controls required for drone racing, which Lockheed Martin has made investments in recently. “Why is this problem important? It is beautiful because you are competing with a human pilot,” Kayacan says. “The drone has to see the correct gates, estimate where they are and then decide the trajectory, and you need a really…

…for machine tending.” The solution will provide natural feature navigation, so there is no need to add fiducials or reflectors to the operating environment. The system is reconfigurable to accommodate changing operational preferences and/or changing facility infrastructure. It is also easily redeployable between various processes due to increase or decrease in production volume. This solution will be introduced at AUTOMATICA 2016 (Messe München | Munich, Germany | June 21-24, 2016). For more information, please visit Yaskawa’s booth (Hall B6 | booth 502). Additionally, the solution will be introduced in the United States at the International Manufacturing Technology Show (McCormick Place…

…surfaces can disrupt the functioning of the vehicle's laser-based navigation sensors, slowing down its rate of travel. Cody adds: “Speaking in generalities, most AMRs in the field run on minimal, if any, suspension. So, every time they travel over an area in the floor with excessive wear, a bump, or a gap, the potential exists for the navigation system to be disrupted — even for just a couple of seconds. If each robot's ability to navigate is hampered repeatedly by the flooring, then those seconds can add up to a considerable amount of wasted time, negatively impacting the overall productivity…
