…(U.S.) to date from investors such as Insight Partners, Microsoft, Next47, and 83North. Wandelbots Teaching offers versatility “Normally, the implementation of robotic processes is very complex,” said Wandelbots. To make a robot ready for use, experienced developers have to program every step of the process. This can be costly, and a lack of skilled personnel is slowing down the pace of automation, the company noted. Following its “Robots for the People” mantra, Wandelbots Teaching is “no-code,” robot-agnostic software with an easy-to-user interface, claimed Wandelbots. Different models from different manufacturers can thus be taught in the same way, it said. In…

…and mapping (SLAM). Instead, InOrbit created the map in Microsoft PowerPoint to illustrate where the robots were. The internal map the MiR robot used was different than the one the LocusBot used, said Walker. “All of these are different independent systems, and you have this visualization software that InOrbit has made with this graphic design map,” he said. Walker added that the status of each robot could also be seen in InOrbit’s software. He claimed that it was a pretty easy processs, taking the three companies only about 20 minutes to set up the whole demo. “Once the interoperability standard…
