…narrow-aisle environment. Based on the VisionNav control algorithm and perception technology, VNP15 and SLIM series can adaptively fork pallets and material frames for horizontal and vertical operations, said the company. VisionNav added that it designed the frame-stacking system for storing irregular parts. It can currently deal with stacking materials in up to seven layers. “We have also developed a variety of clamps to meet the material handling demand of customers in different industries, from simple pallets to bales, paper rolls, machinery, cables, and so on,” said Tang. The SFAW 2022 event was held from April 6 to 8 in Coex…

…to go LIDAR-free, using stereo camera as the main perception-for-navigation sensor. This will require the development of camera-based algorithms for localization, object detection, classification, semantic segmentation, and path planning. These sidewalk robots are still far from being totally autonomous. First, they are often deployed in environments such as US university campuses where there is little sidewalk traffic and where the sidewalks are well-structured. Many robots are also restricted to daylight and perception-free conditions. Critically, the suppliers also have remote tele-operator centers. The ratio of operators to robots will need to be kept to an absolute minimum if such businesses are…

…and AMRs [autonomous mobile robots] and new developments in perception. Some use cases, like packing, are easier for us to develop. There's a lot of velocity in development on that front. Telematics data to aid managers How is warehouse telematics a differentiator for Raymond? Buena-Franco: Sometimes with implementing automation, it's easier for customers to start with telematics and make some adjustments. It's a backbone that provides connectivity among all smart nodes—the trucks and software are all connected. It's all about waste mitigation, and we follow a disciplined road map. When telematics are connected with a labor management system, now you…

…processing, and deep neural network processing to enable intelligent perception, fusion, and planning. The CV3-AD685 is the first production version of Ambarella’s CV3-AD family of automotive AI central domain controllers, according to the company. Tier 1 automotive suppliers have announced that they will offer systems using the CV3-AD product family, it said. Ambarella said the SoC integrates its next-generation CVflow AI engine, which includes neural network processing that is 20 times faster than the previous generation of CV2 SoCs. The CV3-AD685 also provides general-vector and neural-vector processing capabilities to deliver the overall performance required for full autonomous driving (AD) stack…

…operations with these types of systems. Thanks to improving perception, artificial intelligence, and fleet management tools, AMRs are finding new uses on factory floors, in distribution centers, and elsewhere. Let's look at some of the ways in which businesses are modernizing their operations with the latest mobile robots. 1. Mobile robots can make work more ergonomic Manufacturers often need to plan how human workers will use certain tools or move materials. This is in order to protect the body’s musculoskeletal system and avoid costly workplace injuries. State and federal regulations and guidelines are intended to prevent ergonomics-related injuries. For instance,…
