…disrupt AMR market BOWE GROUP cited a study from ABI Research which estimated that worldwide shipments of warehouse mobile robots is projected to grow almost 40% between 2021 and 2030, reaching more than 500,000 global shipments in 2030. “To date, developing – and more importantly, deploying – Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) has been an expensive and time-consuming task, due to monolithic, inflexible robot software that is tightly coupled with robot hardware,” BOWE GROUP said. Others involved in the funding round include MOV.AI's existing investors State of Mind Ventures, NFX, and Viola Ventures. “We are excited to have such an innovative…

…simulate, and configure optimal solutions to support customers worldwide. ABI Research recently named the company as one of the top 10 providers of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs). Bolt desgined to go faster, longer, and farther IAM Robotics claimed that Bolt's new features is more adaptable, safer, and power-efficient than other AMRs. Bolt is designed to enable users to add standardized tops or customize a unique accessory to flexibly meet their needs. They can add everything from piece-picking arms to pallet movers, said the company. For “smarter safety,” Bolt uses 360-degree vision and a combination of state-of-the-art sensors and direct-drive wheel…

…rise from 1% to 33% in 2030, according to ABI Research. Similarly, Fortune Business Insights predicted that AMR demand will experience a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23.7% between 2021 and 2028. Despite growing demand, logistics vehicle manufacturers and new players find it hard to develop AMRs and automated logistics vehicles that meet customer expectations. There has been a lack of development tools and enterprise-grade robotics software, said MOV.AI. The Robotics Engine Platform can speed up robot development, ensure deployment success, and enable smooth operation and control of robot fleets, said the company. It is based on the Robot…

…common, with 50,000 facilities using them by 2025, predicts ABI Research. Pick-and-place robots have seen more interest than most, but the reasons why may not be immediately clear. Here’s how robots can improve picking operations in warehouses. Improved efficiency The most immediately recognizable benefit of robots in picking is that they can improve productivity. Repetitive tasks are ideal for automation because machines can typically perform them faster than people, who may find the job tedious. After hours of doing a monotonous task, human workers can start to grow tired and slow down, but not robots. Pick-and-place robots further improve efficiency…

…will grow to $158.6 billion by 2030, according to ABI Research There will be more than 15 million autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) in the world by then, and some type of visual perception will power 90% of those machines, said Gideon Brothers. AMRs can make processes and workflows more efficient and productive, the startup said. This is typically achieved by performing non-value added tasks—such as transporting, picking up, and dropping off products—in order to free up laborers to perform other tasks that add value to the operation. Gideon Brothers said that with its technology, ” a true collaboration between robots…

…is expected to be strong for the foreseeable future. ABI research expects today’s automated warehouses worldwide to climb from 4,000 to 50,000 by 2023. The firm says those facilities will have four million robots. The International Federation of Robotics projects 14% annual growth in robot sales globally through 2021. In North America, non-automotive robot sales were up 17% last year over 2017, explains Jeff Burnstein, president of the Association for Advancing Automation, in this month’s NextGen: The Interview. Just as important, venture capital is flowing to robot startups. GreyOrange raised $140 million last year, bringing the total raised to $170…

…director of standards development for A3, in an interview. ABI Research agreed with Franklin’s view on the need for safety standards for robotics. It emphasized the importance of incorporating technology such as machine vision into future system designs. “The importance of automatic protection for industrial mobile robot safety cannot be understated,” said ABI. “While standardization and legal regulations are the driving forces in robot safety, a convergence with technological solutions is a must.” Along with the design process, it’s essential to include process, payload, and safety assessments. Process assessments evaluate the efficiency and accuracy of the robotics system. Payload assessments…

…“Simulation in Automotive: Training and Validating Autonomous Control Systems,” ABI Research estimates that accruing the billions of miles necessary to establish autonomous systems’ trustworthiness would require “the deployment of at least 3 million unproven autonomous vehicles over the course of 10 years.” If you consider the market pressures developers have to contend with, it becomes clear that this approach won’t cut it. Taking this tack, there simply isn’t enough time to evaluate the elusive “corner cases,” or rare situations that seldom occur—situations like the sun shining directly into a car’s camera or the effects of inclement weather. Because of these…

…billion in hardware and related systems revenue),” according to ABI Research’s white paper: The Industrial Revolution, the Top Trends and Takeaways from Hannover Messe 2019. “These systems will produce more than US$360 billion worth of parts and end products each year (up from US$6.8 billion today) and nearly US$2 trillion in sum by the end of the next decade.” That amazing growth would be thanks to the real benefits additive manufacturing provides, allowing engineers to create new designs that mix materials or vary materials throughout a part to achieve specific structural characteristics. Other processes allow for a wholesale redesign where…
