…good condition, and oriented neatly. Conversely, repetitive tasks requiring precision are easy for robots, but human forklift operators can find it challenging to deliver the same level of precision. Automated lift trucks can place down pallets with consistent, miniscule gaps between units, while human operators will naturally vary their placement. The big question manufacturing and warehousing operators need to ask is what workflows can be automated with today’s technology? Setting up tech for success Tom Panzarella, chief technology officer at Seegrid, said robotics customers and integrators need to mutually set each other up for success. When Seegrid proposes solutions to…

…screw according to the surgical plan. It uses a high-precision robot arm and Wireless One-Step navigation based on a real-time optical torque sensor (OTS). This robot enables more precise, safer, and faster surgery in comparison with traditional manual surgery, said the company. In addition, robotic surgery can minimize the filming and reduce the radiation exposure of both patients and medical staff, CUREXO said. Both two-dimensional filming (C-arm) and 3-dimensional filming (O-arm) are applicable with this system, providing expandability, according to the company. With the Wireless One-Step, CUVIS-spine allows multiple steps of traditional surgery —needle, K-wire, dilation, and tapping—to be performed…
