…Rolling Hills Hotel by itself by communicating directly with elevators. Hyundai said its deep learning-based algorithms enable robots to recognize people. By adding the autonomous driving capability, the PnD-based robot can find the optimal route within the area to deliver packages to recipients, according to Hyundai. The system can recognize and avoid fixed and moving objects and drive smoothly, delivering food, drinks, and amenities as quickly as human staffers, it said. (See video below.) Based on how the hotel project goes, Hyundai plans to expand the usage and operating hours, as well as the number of robots. The company also…

…of the reconstruction process, Davis explained. That includes installing elevators that work well with the robots and putting actuators on doors so the robots can open them. He added that robots are a good fit for the company as it redesigns its spaces to be more “open and frictionless.” Robots help address labor challenges, but humans still essential Davis brought up concerns about labor shortages, noting that the company has struggled to find enough human workers to work security jobs. By bringing in the robots, the company said it is not only addressing that issue but has also been able…

…terminology around 'specified operating environments.' This includes areas like elevators, automatic doors, or 'airlocks' in a fabrication situation.” “We're trying to help end users and integrators understand the scope of the possible,” she said. “For example, any modification in a warehouse, like adding a ladder or a glass wall in the middle, won't work because of lidar. There simple things people can do, like put tape on the glass in the deployed operating environment. We want to help them think more proactively about safety.” “AMR providers aren't the ones doing this, but integrators are,” Wise said. “In many deployments, integrators…

…server software and infrastructure, such as automatic doors and elevators. The strength of signal required depends on the type of navigation technology in question. Vehicles driven by ANT® technology, for instance, do not require constant WiFi access when performing their individual roles – a low-bandwidth connection is only required in order to interact with infrastructure or other vehicles in a fleet. Tip: Investigate the pros and cons of different navigation technologies to decide the best fit technology for your vehicle. 3. Is your team automation-ready? Does your team have the full complement of skills – mechanical, electronic and engineering –…

…In the past month alone, Moxi has autonomously navigated elevators tens of thousands of times, said Diligent. For instance, Children's Hospital Los Angeles was the first children's hospital to implement Moxi. Two Moxi robots deliver medications and pharmaceutical items 24/7 along various routes throughout the hospital. In just over four months, Moxi has made more than 2,500 deliveries, traveled 132 miles, and saved staffers more than 383,000 steps and 1,620 hours of work time. Diligent Robotics has signed with several more children's hospitals in recent months and said expects to increase its market share even further among children's hospitals in…
