…collision-free trajectories, Comau said its new MI.RA/OnePicker can ensure precision and reliable performance while reducing the need for costly manual and repetitive operations. Leveraging proprietary automation and machine learning paradigms, MI.RA/OnePicker has a configuration page from which customers can set up the bin environment and parameter specifics. From the user-defined 3D models of the bin, environment, and robot, the integrated algorithms can calculate the ideal balance between computational speed and accuracy. The neural network autonomously recognizes the surfaces from which an object can be picked, using a suction cup to facilitate identification of the most suitable grasping points. As a…

…herbicide on weeds and fertilizer on crops with similar precision to inkjet printers. This precise targeting can reduce chemical usage by more than 90%, resulting in cost savings to the farmer and fewer harmful chemicals in the soil, said the business. In cotton, Blue River said its robots can radically reduce the amount of herbicide needed to defeat resistant weeds while improving yields. With lettuce, the robots determine how to best allocate resources to grow lettuce and autonomously thins the crop to maximize yield. Deere noted that its acquisition Bear Flag expands its presence in Silicon Valley, where Blue River…
