…and Benteler EV Systems to jointly develop autonomous shuttle buses by 2024. Mobileye has been around for 23 years. Source: Mobileye IPO ideal for Intel In December, Intel announced its intention to take Mobileye public, noting that the company was expected to make 40% more in revenue in 2021 than it did in 2020. The move would make Mobileye a separate publicly traded company, but Intel said at the time that it will retain majority ownership of the company and that it will continue to work with Mobileye to develop new technologies. Mobileye will also take advantage of the technology…

…“Some transportation companies are already testing and deploying small buses in geofenced regions in smart cities,” says Dutton. “Today, there’s generally a human operator on the bus keeping an eye on things. But these vehicles are already operating in the fully autonomous mode.” For example, with its headquarters in Lyon, France, and R&D facilities in Paris, NAVYA offers autonomous shuttle (Autonom Shuttle) and autonomous cabs (Autonom Cab). Some of its vehicles are in service in Singapore, Perth, Australia); Christchurch Airport in New Zealand; and Curtin University in Australia. Such conditional autonomy with the condition being the restricted zone will fall…

…allows power to be slowly “sipped” from the main bus during the entire cycle, actuating the solenoid with bursts of power to generate high velocity as needed. Johnson Electric said the integrated drive unit eliminates the needs for an external solenoid driver, control box, and assembly labor. Solligence fast rotary actuators generate minimal impact energy when activated, which Johnson Electric said can enable a service life rating of 25 million cycles or more and enable quiet operation. Units do not require lubrication, adjustment, nor maintenance for their entire lifecycle. Actuators come fully pre-programmed with auto-calibration enabled, simplifying installation. Want to…

…company. In addition, X1 can help servers more efficiently bus tables so they can spend more time with customers and turn over tables quicker, it noted. Gausium and SoftBank Robotics have successfully deployed the first fleet of X1 robots to The Hall On The Yard, a 12,250-sq.-ft., full-service food hall featuring nine restaurants in Orlando, Fla. Partners clean up with growing fleet Gausium recently introduced the Phantas cleaning product line, expanding its service robot portfolio. It now consists of the Vacuum 40, Scrubber 50, Scrubber 75, and Sweeper 111 systems. By 2021, the cleaning robots were deployed in over 40…

…as soon as items are ready and helping servers bus tables and return dishes to the back of the house for washing. This reduces the physical demands on servers, freeing them to focus on providing better service and having quality interactions with guests, according to Bear Robotics. The service robot isn't intended to replace wait staffers but rather to provide assistance, automate routine tasks, and make their jobs easier, especially during busy times, added the company. “Since our first restaurant opening in 1989, it's been our mission to provide superior service to every Abuelo's guest,” said Robert Lin, president of…

…the team needed to obtain measurements of many CAN bus signals, including demand torques, observed torques, and speeds of the engines and electric motors. CAN is a vehicle bus standard designed to allow microcontrollers and devices to communicate with each other in applications without a host computer. Goal of the Model The goal of the vehicle dynamics model was to determine how the vehicle will respond to steering wheel inputs as well as torque transmitted to the wheels from the driveline. A high fidelity model of the Lincoln MKZ’s vehicle dynamics considered its yaw, pitch, and roll inertias as well…

…network up to 500 I/O modules on a single bus node and mix and match both electrics and pneumatics on the same I/O network for greater flexibility and to develop unique systems, it said. A free online configuration tool can speed design, while plug-and-play performance can reduce wiring and shorten installation time, Festo said. CPX-AP-I is compatible with the leading communications protocols, including Ethernet/IP, PROFINET, and EtherCAT to enable the Festo ecosystem’s connectivity. The bus modules (top left) connected to the controller, daisy-chained digital and analog input blocks (center), and valve terminal (lower left) illustrate the CPX-AP-I decentralized I/O topology.…

…system cables, fibre optic cables, motor cables, single cores, bus cables and even hybrid cables. Every year we expand our product portfolio in order to meet the constantly growing market. Requirements for cables in robot applications The difference between robot cables and cables installed in a static cable carrier lies in the structure. In cables for linear e-chains, the “mechanical stress” only occurs in one direction. However, cables in robotic applications must be able to withstand the constant torsional movements that occur during operation. These twists of the cables are sometimes considerable and can reach up to ± 360°/m. Special…

Amazon's Zoox unit is operating autonomous shuttle buses in Las Vegas, and General Motors-backed Cruise has opened rides to the public in San Francisco. Aurora and Toyota are planning an autonomous van pilot for multiple U.S. cities, while China-based WeRide is testing driverless vehicles in San Jose, Calif. Alphabet unit Waymo recently sued the California Department of Motor Vehicles to keep details of its autonomous vehicle deployment permit, including some public-safety data, private. It and other developers are also testing autonomous vehicles in Arizona.
