…company. The CE- and ETL-certified robot also features hybrid navigation with simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) and QR Codes. In addition, the AMR includes safety features such as 360-degree obstacle detection, anti-collision bumpers, and emergency stop buttons in both the front and rear. Rexroth said AMR experts will be at its AMR and Logistics Week booth to discuss visitors' unique applications. They can also explain how a robot fleet can improve the safety of their workers and help overcome operational challenges, said the company. The Association for Advancing Automation (A3) is the organizer of AMR and Logistics Week, which is…

…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…

…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…
