…Typically, they perform simple pick-and-place tasks and assist with precision operations such as welding. OSARO said its intelligent robots enable goods-to-robot (G2R) use cases, where the greatest gains are yet to be made on the automated warehouse floor. Cobot in action OSARO’s advanced vision software enables robots to see, perceive, grasp, and perform tasks previously done only by humans in e-commerce fulfillment. It allows larger robots—as well as cobots—to manage changes in packaging materials on the fly and reliably handle a vast range of item shapes and SKUs for picking, kitting, and packaging. OSARO vision software is available to integrators…

…the input nodes, he said. BeBop seeks levels of precision, reliability McMillen came into haptic sensing through music. “We started working with musical instruments and fabric sensors 14 years ago,” he said. “I wanted to make a sensor violin bow for the Kronus Quartet, and it needed a cylindrical grip so musicians could tell what they're doing.” “Four years later, it was stabilized with 80 dB of dynamic range, and resolution to smaller than 2 mm pitch just became a choice,” explained McMillen. “The fabric will fit any geometry. Our circuitry design is quite flexible, allowing BeBop to make it…

…National Science Foundation in 2021. Dextrous Robotics designs for precision The job of loading and unloading trucks is one of the most challenging to fill in the logistics industry, according to Dextrous Robotics. Trailers can reach extreme temperatures depending on the season, and heavy packages stacked up to 9 ft. high regularly fall on workers. In addition, the repetitive and non-ergonomic lifting of items can put strain even on healthy people, said the Memphis, Tenn.-based company. Dextrous Robotics was inspired by chopsticks and pool cues, but it had to master the physics as its scaled up, said Drumwright. Humans don't…
