…Cybernetix Ventures. Realtime has also integrated its software with Siemens Process Simulate and worked with Kawasaki Robotics. BMW needs to scan multiple vehicle models Realtime Robotics said its technology can improve how robots are programmed. For example, BMW Group needed to improve the process around the 3D computer tomography (CT) scanning of automobiles, which is done to assure the quality of assorted joinings, it noted. The automaker's work cell was designed to use robots to X-ray vehicles and identify any defects, but it was a time-consuming process to complete for even a single vehicle, said the company. BMW had to…

…Larsen Motorsports. “We do research with Northrop Grumman and Siemens and workforce development and training with Florida Tech students in 27,000 sq. ft. Racecars are our platform for intensive testing in additive manufacturing, robotics, and biofuels.” “For example, we just finished a project where we used additive manufacturing to print gaskets for aviation biofuel, which reacts differently from Jet A fuel,” he said. “We used low-cost 3D printers to test a wide range of materials that we soaked in these biofuels. Every week, we take measurements, then at six months and a year to see how they're reacting. We take…

…Advanced Robotics for Manufacturing (ARM) Institute project led by Siemens and FedEx, Theobald noted. Version 2.0 establishes a mission communication application programming interface (API). It is intended to prevent too many robots from trying to use a single optimized route at the same time. Other features are left to fleet management software, said the panelists. After years of talk about the need to manage heterogeneous fleets, why are standards efforts moving forward now? “We believe a rising tide will lift all boats,” replied Walker, co-founder of Waypoint Robotics, now part of Locus Robotics. “Locus has deployed more AMRs than almost…
