…Federation of Robotics (IFR). Japan, South Korea, China, and Singapore are some of the biggest robotics exporters and consumers. The IFR found that Asia has the highest density of robots in the manufacturing industry. Robotics clusters faciliate networking To facilitate innovation and networking, organizations have developed to help bolster their local robotics clusters. They serve their communities as a space for research and development, networking for investment, and recruitment. Like a chamber of commerce or a typical business association, many of these organizations were created to drive investment in regional talent pools and to foster business-to-business partnerships. Check out the…

…most automated countries in the world are South Korea, Singapore, Japan, Germany, and Sweden, according to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR). “Robot density is the barometer to track the degree of automation adoption in the manufacturing industry around the world,” stated Milton Guerry, president of the IFR. China leads Asian robotics usage The development of robot density in China is the most dynamic worldwide, said the IFR. Due to the significant growth of robot installations, the density rose from 49 units in 2015 to 246 units per 10,000 workers in 2020. Today, China’s robot density ranks ninth globally, compared…

…spun out of research at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) Singapore. Eureka Robotics said its technology enables robots to manipulate small and fragile objects that are millimeters in size without damaging them. “Today, Dynamis has made it easy for anyone to program touch-sensitive tasks that are usually done by humans, such as assembly, fine manipulation, polishing, or sanding,” explained Pham Quang Cuong, an associate professor at NTU Singapore and co-founder of Eureka Robotics. “These tasks all share a common characteristic: the ability to maintain consistent contact with a surface.” “If our human hands are deprived of our touch sensitivity, such as…

…Challenge with winners hailing from Australia, the U.S., and Singapore. The Australian Centre for Robotic Vision succeed in the Grand Championship Combined Task to win the overall Challenge with Nanyang Technological University of Singapore winning the Pick Task and MIT Princeton winning the Stow Task. The Australian Centre for Robotic Vision developed their own Cartesian robot “Cartman” for the challenge. Theirs was the only Cartesian robot at the event, and it is believed to be the least expensive contestant as well. Cartman can move along three axes at right angles to each other, like a gantry crane, and featured a…

Researchers at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore have developed millimeter-sized robots that can be controlled using magnetic fields to perform highly maneuverable and dexterous manipulations. This could enable applications in biomedicine and manufacturing, they said this week. The team of scientists created the miniature robots by embedding magnetic microparticles into biocompatible polymers—non-toxic materials that are harmless to humans. The robots are “programmed” to execute their desired functionalities when magnetic fields are applied. The robots improve on many existing small-scale robots by optimizing their ability to move in six degrees of freedom (DoF), said Nanyang Technological University (NTU). It defined six…
