…develops and makes industrial drones provided through a robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) business model. The MassRobotics member said its Scout System is a “drone-in-a-box, turnkey” data service. The company claimed that it is the first drone to receive U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approval for beyond visual line-of-sight (BVLOS) flights without a human operator on site. Airobotics develops 'drone-in-a-box' offering Founded in 2014, Airobotics offers autonomous unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) and data-analysis and visualization platforms for the industrial, homeland security, and smart city services markets. The Petah Tikva, Israel-based company described its Optimus System as an “industrial-grade, drone-in-a-box” (DIB) system consisting of…

…Ferreira: Farmers are comfortable with robotics as a service [RaaS]. If they save $100 per acre, we get just a portion of what they're saving. Compared with other agbotics providers, our solution is very affordable, especially for small farms of less than 1,000 acres. We have a waiting list with a lot of farmers now. Today, we have more problems with production than with demand. To scale, we'll do the same thing we did for onboard computers—first, we produced them ourselves, and then we worked with partners in the U.S., Brazil, and China. For the new year, we'll be increasing…

…we also deliver flexible pricing in the form of RaaS [robotics as a service], enabling customers to get started quickly with as little upfront cost as possible and then scale based on demand.” “Pivotal is also a real differentiator,” Malloy said. “Pivotal looks at warehouses and distribution centers as a whole, unifying humans, robots, and equipment to ensure the right support is in the right place at the right time. We see huge improvements in safety and throughput with Pivotal.” Malloy reflects on goals “Our team is determined to learn faster and innovate more quickly than anyone else,” Malloy said.…

…business models, from drones and robotics as service, or RaaS, to data as a service. Near Earth Autonomy Inc. is an example of the companies serving this growing market. Pittsburgh-based Near Earth Autonomy provides sensor-based systems that enable aircraft from drones to full-size helicopters to take off, fly, and land autonomously. It supplies aerial inspection systems to defense and civilian customers. Last year, Near Earth won a NASA contract to develop technology for industrial infrastructure inspection. The company provided its systems to the K-MAX TITAN, which Kaman Air Vehicles described as “the world's first heavy-lift, unmanned helicopter for the commercial…

…be moved to other tasks. Robots can now be bought, leased as part of a Robotics as a service (RaaS) deal, or leased on a pay per pick (PPP) deal, meaning that these platforms can be affordable to most businesses, and easily scaled as you grow. Robotics also extends past autonomous vehicles that navigate your warehouse floor, and to slightly more static systems, including AS/RS and automatic picking systems. Instead of conducting several stages of a task - e.g. picking and delivering - these systems tend to perform a single task more quickly, allowing you to pick and choose where…

…Robotics' partnership with GreyOrange. We've also covered inVia's Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) offerings, Vecna Robotics' Pivotal orchestration software, and Caja Robotics' work with Advanced Handling Systems. Companies supplying robots for supply chain and automation raised more than $1.7 billion last quarter. Why all the interest around AMRs? Thanks to technical advances, they can improve safety, productivity, and serve in different functions, explained Mike Harper, vice president of sales and marketing at Chelmsford, Mass.-based AutoGuide. “With our MAX-N AMRs, not only can facility operators feel confident the robots they’re deploying can work safely around their employees, but they can also know that these…

…trends than trying to catch up.” Robotics-as-a-service Robotics-as-a-service, or RaaS, is an increasingly common model in both the autonomous mobile robotic space that Rakuten Super Logistics has deployed, and piece picking robots from companies like RightHand Robotics and Kindred AI. In RSL’s example, the company pays a per piece handled fee to inVia Robotics, not unlike what a 3PL like RLS might charge its clients. The advantage of this model, in the view of RSL’s CEO Mike Manzione, is that he is only paying for the work performed by the robot. “If I have a human coming to work and…

…also help provide resources needed for BG’s growing robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) option, as well as more generally, add people with skills in software, robotics design and manufacturing, and research and development, as well as needed roles in areas like support and services. “This investment means that we can add features and capabilities to existing solutions and existing robots, and it also means that we can develop more new technology, some of which will come forward as additional features [for existing solutions], and some which will come forward as new solutions,” said Wagner. In terms of being able to offer more value-added…

…totes for efficiency.” Locus Robotics is increasing its robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) offerings. “To help our clients, we've significantly scaled up our seasonal bot fleet,” said Faulk. “We're shipping robots all around the U.S. and Europe right now. Twenty-five percent of our core fleet is dedicated to such demand, and some sites will be adding 100%. Then they can then send them back after peak.” LocusBots ready for demonstrations in Amsterdam.

…included automation. That's also where robotics as a service [RaaS] comes into play. Not only does it save on upfront costs, but it also allows 3PLs' contracts for automation to line up with those of their customers. RaaS can help shorten time to value. Jane Heffner, MiR Heffner: It's not a specific market. We really see demand across the board—anywhere materials need to be moved from Point A to Point B. As we've seen with the Rockwell Automation acquisition of OTTO Motors, the need for short-distance transportation is enormous. Materials handling can be done in hospitals, industrial spaces, and 3PLs.…
