…and services, enabling management of homes, buildings, data centers, infrastructure, and industries. Lexium Cobot built for productivity, safety Schneider Electric explained that it developed the collaborative robot to improve plant productivity and safety. The Lexium Cobot can help minimize downtime caused by labor shortages, which currently costs factories as much as 20% in productive capacity, it asserted. The Mississauga, Ontario-based company said its cobot can handle various applications that would not be possible with conventional industrial robots. All models have collision-detection and safety functions to ensure machine and human wellbeing, said Schneider Electric. The Lexium Cobot has rounded edges and…

…the intent of learning from them, and building the infrastructure to support information sharing, we can adapt more quickly to new tasks and master the ones we are already familiar with. The real promise of applying machine learning to robotics is not teaching a single robot to learn for itself, but to aggregate experience from a vast network of robots so that they can improve at scale. A core tenet of what we do at RIOS is to build machines with this idea in mind. Like hardware, skills and behaviors should be transferable across platforms when possible, and each deployed…

…navigate autonomously inside of buildings without needing any additional infrastructure, said the company. The REACHY robots are designed to operate in very narrow aisles and within space constraints at high elevations—such as minimal pallet spacing in racks. BALYO said the driverless lift trucks offer a high level of accuracy, throughput, and safety, meeting the high expectations set out by Behr. The simplicity of use and ease of deployment also influenced Behr’s decision to expand its fleet, said BALYO. “This renewed trust through this extensive rollout across the Behr network is a fundamental proof of the many advances made by BALYO…

…upon for national defense, public safety, commercial delivery, critical infrastructure inspection and more. These technologies are increasingly part of the economic foundation for nations across the globe,” said Michael Robbins, executive vice president for government and public affairs at AUVSI. “A cyber-secure foundation built on universal industry standards among industry stakeholders and suppliers will help to ensure the economic and operational potential of uncrewed vehicles is reached,” he added. Consumers say uncrewed vehicles need protection from cyber-attacks To help gauge interest and awareness, the pair conducted a poll involving 911 American consumers on Aug. 16. The survey had a margin…
