…simulation and deployment of algorithms for planning and navigation. ROS Toolbox is also for design, simulation and deployment but is specific to the Robot Operating System (ROS). This new toolbox gives engineers an interface between MATLAB, Simulink and ROS and ROS2, for generating embedded system software for ROS nodes. Among the MATLAB highlights in R2019b is the introduction of Live Editor Tasks. This helps users interactively explore parameters, preprocess data and generate MATLAB code that will become part of a live script. This means MATLAB users can focus on the task instead of the syntax or complex code, and they…

…management using AI and fleet management systems. Lidar and ROS guide Resgreen's AMRs Lidar, which stands for “light detection and ranging,” uses laser beams to calculate how long it takes for pulsed light to hit an object and reflect it back. These measurements help create a 3D map of the vehicle’s surroundings to help guide the vehicle safely. “Because it is so accurate, lidar is used by many of the autonomous vehicles that are on our roadways today,” said Sarah Carlson, vice president of marketing communications at Resgreen Group. “This has made lidar systems much more affordable for AMRs.” “With…

…and autonomous decision-making. Working with the Robot Operating System (ROS), the cloud-based Nimbus includes a library of pre-configured algorithms and enables developers to collaborate and to monitor robot performance in real time, said the company. Israel Innovation Authority looks to improve HRI Most of today’s robots are built for single-mission tasks, but they are increasingly engaging with humans, said Cogniteam. Robots will need to assess social situations and communicate verbally and non-verbally with the people around them. For example, a mobile robot could ask for human assistance after diagnosing that its camera is blocked or getting directions from a person…
