…products, but on its path, it encounters something its navigation system doesn’t recognize and gets tripped up. Workers on the floor don’t immediately recognize the robot has stopped, and the problem needs to be addressed quickly to avoid potential backups. New York-based SparkAI said it has developed a system designed to account for this kind of situation by combining software, artificial intelligence, and human intervention. The company pitches its product as a three-step system. Let’s say a robot encounters a problem like the one described above. The first thing it does is connect to SparkAI’s API, and a human specialist…

…Diego-based company said the new version improves localization and navigation performance, enhances safety and reliability, and improves human and robot interactions. The company claims that over 20,000 mobile robots around the world operate using Brain OS to clean floors, move inventory and sense environmental data. The new platform was designed to be modular and to promote faster and easier product development, including the development of new vision-based AI data applications, according to Brain Corp. The first robots to use the new platform will be deployed in late 2023 to early 2024, the company said. “We're immensely excited about the potential…

…and software for autonomous material handling operations with precise navigation and robust pallet picking and movement. Deep learning systems use onboard cameras and lidar sensors to detect pallets, boxes, and other obstacles in real time. The intelligent systems also enable the forklift to pick pallets out of trailers it is seeing for the first time, said the company. Fox claimed that it has solved the hardest forklift challenge to date – unloading trailers without modifying the warehouse environment – and that it has a clear path to automating all pallet movement. Each forklift can be delivered and installed in under…
