…robotics said its AMRs can operate on damaged floors, changing surroundings, high traffic, liquid spills, slopes, narrow spaces, and elevators, the company said. THiRA Robotics said South Korea’s investment in automation has helped make it an established AMR maker. “At the National Cancer Center, the #1 clinical research center in Korea, our AMRs augmented hospital staff and piloted 24/7 patient and nurse-assistance services. We streamlined factory processes for cosmetics conglomerate AmorePacific, where split warehousing and manufacturing facilities with complex traffic and high order volume slowed production,” Kim said. THiRA Robotics will be at booth #N6054. For more on ProMat, visit…

…each floor. The mobile robot can also communicate with elevators to patrol multiple floors. Using autonomous robots for security offers several advantages. For example, surveillance cameras are often used for building security. However, such cameras can have blind spots, and setting up additional cameras takes cost and time. In contrast, the SQ-2 robot can patrols an entire building by taking an elevator, and security guards can choose routes that reduce or eliminate blind spots. In addition, the presence of a physical robot can deter crimes like shoplifting and reduce the need for human guards. SQ-2 has already been deployed in…

…of the reconstruction process, Davis explained. That includes installing elevators that work well with the robots and putting actuators on doors so the robots can open them. He added that robots are a good fit for the company as it redesigns its spaces to be more “open and frictionless.” Robots help address labor challenges, but humans still essential Davis brought up concerns about labor shortages, noting that the company has struggled to find enough human workers to work security jobs. By bringing in the robots, the company said it is not only addressing that issue but has also been able…

…indoors and outdoors, can travel up accessibility ramps, takes elevators, and navigates signalized intersections installed with cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) roadside units. Cubot has already been used to complete orders at 7-Eleven stores in Taiwan as part of the connivence store’s automated delivery service, foodmo. A national library in Taiwan is also using Cubot to automate book returns. To allow for multiple Cubots in the same area to communicate with one another, ITRI said it developed its own management platform. It also has given companies access to its APIs. The Cubot delivery robot is being used in a 7-Eleven in Taiwan.…

…Rolling Hills Hotel by itself by communicating directly with elevators. Hyundai said its deep learning-based algorithms enable robots to recognize people. By adding the autonomous driving capability, the PnD-based robot can find the optimal route within the area to deliver packages to recipients, according to Hyundai. The system can recognize and avoid fixed and moving objects and drive smoothly, delivering food, drinks, and amenities as quickly as human staffers, it said. (See video below.) Based on how the hotel project goes, Hyundai plans to expand the usage and operating hours, as well as the number of robots. The company also…

…has one to two miles of conveyors, and 30 elevators in four stories. The elevators are completely automated, and the facility runs GreyMatter at the core. The system runs online order processing and cross-dock operations. Funding, partnerships, and industry challenges GreyOrange obtained growth financing earlier this year; how are its expansion and partnerships in the Americas going? Kohli: We're growing quite fast, and North America is a core market for us. We're also doing well elsewhere, with Sodimac in South America and Apotek Hjärtat in Sweden. Our partnership with Sistemo is expanding, and we just announced another partnership with Dafiti…

…the multi-agent approach. It's important to view what humans, elevators, and conveyors do. We also have visibility into Wi-Fi routers and RFID. We recently launched the gStore app under GreyMatter, which gives you real-time inventory visibility in a retail store. How does GreyMatter handle software integration? Kohli: Usually, we're integrated with two or three upstream systems like WMS [warehouse management systems], ERP [enterprise resource planning], or a shipping system module. In addition to the conveyors, there's one customer site where we actually manage about 25 elevators. This is all operating at scale. Most modern conveyor-belt systems are like PLCs and…
