…proven their exceptional endurance and ability to collect rich, high-precision data,” said the company. Earlier this month, a Saildrone USV navigated to the heart of Hurricane Sam, taking scientific measurements and high-definition video. The company said the mission was a world first and could help transform scientists' understanding of hurricane forecasting. Saildrone has two base vehicles, now in their fifth and sixth generations. The Saildrone Explorer is 7 m (23 ft.) long, with a 4.5 m (15 ft.) tall wing, and its keel draws 1.8 m (6 ft.). The Saildrone Surveyor has a 22 m (72 ft.) hull, a 18…

…claimed that HAIPICK allows greater space utilization and higher precision and efficiency than traditional goods-to-person systems, such as Kiva robots that move an entire rack. The company said its ACRs can boost a warehouse’s storage density by 80% to 400% and improve workers' picking speeds can by three to four times. In addition, the HAIPICK robots, which use QR codes on the floor for navigation, can be deployed within one month with no altering of the interior structure of a warehouse, it said. Customers that prefer smaller picking units than an entire rack or pallet when automating their warehouses have…
