…companies such as Amazon, Mitsubishi, and Siemens on mapping, navigation, and autonomous decision making. Cogniteam now packages its mission-management system as the cloud-based Nimbus. Cogniteam aims to ease robot development NVIDIA Corp. made its Jetson AGX Orin 32GB production modules available last month. However, some industrial users had concerns about the ease of deployment, according to Cogniteam. As a preferred member of the NVIDIA Partner Network, Cogniteam had early access to NVIDIA's Jetson AGX Orin developer kit, which allowed it to prepare a streamlined process for the new system on module. The company said it included all the necessary Jetson…

…cobots, and technological developments inculding machine vision, and AI navigation. In 1982, RIA separated from SME, changing its name to the Robotic Industries Association. In 1984, RIA began publishing industrial robot sales statistics. In 1986, RIA published Robot Safety Standard (R15.06), putting RIA on the map for safety and standards. RIA’s headquarters then moved to Ann Arbor in 1986. The company added support for other automation technologies along with AIA-Advancing Vision and the Imaging and Motion Control and Motors Association (MCMA). All three associations remained separate until 2021, when the RIA, AIA, MCMA, as well as A3 Mexico merged, adding…

…multi-vendor setups and interoperability? Buena-Franco: We're pretty agnostic. The navigation package and automation equipment could be from different vendors, but we want to make [data management] very transparent. We've been around for 100 years, and we work with particular technology partners for AGVs, tow trucks, and palletizers, and different ones for storage or high racks. We work with sister company Bastian, integrating middleware for navigation, bulk handling, and third-party integration. There are more sophisticated “handshakes” between autonomous systems such as a palletizer arm. We can handle all that integration, from the WMS taking orders down to different navigation and mission…

…mobility, or PRM. A&K said it specializes in advanced navigation systems and has developed electric pods to safely transport people with limited mobility in crowded places, such as airports and malls, while avoiding obstacles and people. The company added these self-driving pods empower travelers to navigate airports more easily and independently – from reaching the gates to getting food at restaurants. Pods help people with limited mobility PRMs are one of the fastest growing passenger groups in aviation, A&K said. The most common request for mobility assistance comes from individuals who can normally walk short distances and climb stairs independently…

…platform, based on U.S.-made processors. Nokia implements its proprietary navigation, autonomy, localization, and processing software - along with some specialized attachments - so the drones can accomplish their missions. AIMS cycle-counting drones travel in saw-tooth patterns up and down storage racks and aisles, hovering to capture images of each location before flying off to the next one. Off-the-shelf drones equipped with custom lenses and light bars enable Nokia AIMS to capture clear images for AI and machine learning software analysis. Source: Nokia AIMS The drones are relatively small and lightweight, which allows them to fly in aisles as narrow as…
