…of different schools of thought in robotics As more infrastructure is being architected, different schools of thought are emerging. Proponents of a particular school have their own world view on how robots will become ubiquitous and help mankind. There are three distinct schools of thought: 1) no-code programming, 2) artificial general intelligence (AGI), and 3) end-to-end robotic work cells. The no-code programming community is building drag-and-drop interfaces that enable anyone on the manufacturing floor to program robots and any manufacturer to deploy automation — no experience necessary, no hard coding required. Robotics is a fragmented field, and every robotics hardware…

…existing warehouses can easily integrate its LocusBots into their infrastructures without disrupting workflows. Robotics 24/7 noted that the company was among the 10 mobile robot providers to watch this year. “Our advantage is that we use robots to reduce unproductive walking,” said Dekin. “Our ability to assess operations and how to optimize them leverages our experience in the industry.” Locus said its AMRs took 1,542 days, or 4.2 years, to pick its first 100 million units and just 59 days for the last 100 million picks. They passed the 500 million pick mark in August 2021. LocusBots have traveled more…

…Europe leads in terms of smart city development and infrastructure, North American cities are beginning to turn toward the Internet of Things and connected infrastructure. Just as the smart home has evolved over the past decade to the point that Alexa can control just about any device at any time, so has interconnectivity spilled outdoors into entire communities. Robotic parking systems can be a key portion of well-designed smart city infrastructure. Smart city technology could improve the quality of life in many areas, such as crime, health, and commuting challenges by 10% to 30%, according to Forbes. In particular, systems…

…wanted to provide a product that utilizes even less infrastructure with an even quicker deployment for parcel sortation in last mile, regional hubs, and fulfillment and distribution centers. The tSortPost has an adjustable post that allows for sortation into containers at a variety of heights while running on the floor of the facility. This means users can deploy a new sortation system in a facility with almost no infrastructure, relying only on fiducial markers, scanning stations and destination bins around the perimeter. “I am excited about what this launch means for the sortation industry,” said Jim Serstad, VP of robotics…

…example by providing mobile device charging stations and Wi-Fi infrastructures. In such cases, additive manufacturing is way ahead of slower and more costly traditional methods. “One of the mainstay pillars that enables us to realize this business case into real-world applications is Stratasys’ highly repeatable FDM-based 3D printing technology in conjunction with aerospace-grade materials like ULTEM 9085 resin. Crucially, this gives us the capability to meet strict rules and regulations around certification that require the highest level of repeatability and traceability with every part manufactured,” he adds. The flame-retardant, high-performance ULTEMTM 9085 resin meets stringent flame, smoke and toxicity (FST)…
