…advantage of Hexagon’s ability to scan a cathedral in Japan with a Leica device so it could be modeled with Cradle CFD. MSC’s thermoregulation-model (JOS) human body model, typically used to gauge the comfort level of HVAC or AC controlled environments like offices and car interiors, also played a role in the COVID-spread simulation effort, ensuring the exercise included a realistic approximation of a human body and its behavior. Post-processing work was done to visualize the airflow, temperature, and particles as part of a high-resolution video aimed at democratizing the CFD simulation results for the average person. The simulation revealed…

…market share. The dominance of Asia Pacific is attributed to growth in number of countries such as China, India, Japan, Taiwan and Australia among others investing heavily in research and development infrastructure developments. Rapid growth in automation demands coupled with reduction of duties on refurbished goods has also fueled growth in the industrial robotics market. Similarly, North America and Europe collectively accounted for over one-third of the market share, as these regions have been continually focusing on research and development and have been using industrial robotics for the same.

…FANUC, a supplier of robotics and factory automation in Japan, and its U.S. subsidiary FANUC America. With MIRAI, FANUC customers can now add hand-eye coordination to multiple FANUC industrial and collaborative robots (cobots) to handle difficult-to-automate functions such as cable plugging and assembly, the company said. Using AI, the MIRAI controller generates robot movements directly and in real-time. Robot skills are trained, not programmed, in a few days through human demonstration, without requiring knowledge of programming or AI. To train a robot, a human repeatedly demonstrates a task by manually guiding the robot by the robot’s wrist. The recorded movements…
