…all driverless forklifts, not just those driven by BlueBotics navigation technology). However, that’s just 0.3% of the one million forklifts and lift trucks of all types which were deployed in that year. But that number is predicted to grow dramatically. The predicted growth of automated forklift systems Automated forklift system sales are predicted to grow by as much as 64.5% every year until 2028, according to market research firm Interact Analysis. This is a massive increase on the previous predicted growth rate of 20-25%. In fact, as soon as 2023, as much as 5% of the entire United States’ forklift…

…the world by integrating visual semantic context to its navigation system. These improvements are only available with the Spot Core I/O. This release also enhances Spot’s ability to navigate around objects in its path. Spot now perceives a wider area so it can identify more options for alternative paths when it encounters larger obstacles. Lastly, Spot has always been able to climb stairs, but this release builds additional checks into its navigation system for even safer ascent and descent. Hardware updates for Spot include: Tablet Controller Pro: The company has introduced a new set of joysticks for the tablet used…

…products, but on its path, it encounters something its navigation system doesn’t recognize and gets tripped up. Workers on the floor don’t immediately recognize the robot has stopped, and the problem needs to be addressed quickly to avoid potential backups. New York-based SparkAI said it has developed a system designed to account for this kind of situation by combining software, artificial intelligence, and human intervention. The company pitches its product as a three-step system. Let’s say a robot encounters a problem like the one described above. The first thing it does is connect to SparkAI’s API, and a human specialist…

…its M1 Edge enables reliable collision avoidance and smart navigation for mobile equipment. When mounted on an automated guided vehicle (AGV) or an autonomous mobile robot (AMR), the sensor can monitor the surrounding area, flagging potential dangers and obstacles in the vehicle’s path. The detection zones being monitored can dynamically change based on the vehicle’s movement, said Quanergy. In addition, M1 Edge offers accurate detection and measurement for stationary and dynamic applications that require simple alerting when an object enters a monitored area. For example, in industrial applications, M1 Edge enables reliable monitoring for level- and height-sensing applications, including tank…
