…care and senior living. First announced in January at CES 2022, the award-winning Labrador Retriever personal robot empowers people to live more independently and extends the impact of caregivers. The assistive robot lightens the load of daily activities by physically bringing essential items within reach. Labrador will offer home care and senior living organizations a professional grade version of the robot, the “Retriever Pro,” with additional features to help caregivers and staff manage client care. Labrador’s first customers Labrador will make the Retriever Pro available as a service, creating fleets of robots for care providers to deploy to support individuals…

…AV-21 racecars to AV-23 for their next race at CES 2024 in Las Vegas. “In between events, there's a tone of work that goes into deciding what technology goes into the cars and adjusting them as a representation of the available tech that's the most cutting-edge,” Mitchell told Robotics 24/7. “Between Monza and Vegas, everything comes back to Indianapolis, where a team of engineers, suppliers, and vendors specialized in motor sports decides how to improve them.” Indy Autonomous Challenge races on The Indy Autonomous Challenge has organized competitions for university-affiliated teams from around the world to program fully autonomous racecars…

…be demonstrated at Ambarella’s invitation-only event taking place during CES. Built with Oculli radar technology It features Ambarella’s Oculii radar technology, including AI software algorithms that dynamically adapt radar waveforms to the surrounding environment—providing high angular resolution of 0.5 degrees, an ultra-dense point cloud up to 10s of thousands of points per frame and a long detection range up to 500+ meters. All of this is achieved with an order of magnitude fewer antenna MIMO channels, which reduces the data bandwidth and achieves significantly lower power consumption than competing 4D imaging radars, it claimed. Ambarella’s centralized 4D imaging radar with…

…of corn—per second.” The X Series combines received a 2021 CES Innovation Award in the robotics category. See & Spray for sustainability Last month, Deere & Co. launched its See & Spray technology. “It has 36 cameras and 96 nozzles to apply pesticides,” Haecker said. “With computer vision and machine learning, it can identify a weed less than an inch tall and spray pesticide in an area around it.” “To use another analogy, a small pizza box is 1 sq. ft.,” he said. “At 2,000 feet-per-second coverage or one weed in 2,000 boxes, the robot could spray an area of…

…in 2019, and Teledyne Technologies bought FLIR in January 2021 for $8 billion.] Our exoskeletons are designed to meet the needs of both government and commercial customers in logistics, maintenance, and repair. Building better robots Can you give an example of the technical developments so far? Wolff: We're working with a customer on stacking boxes on shelves in a warehouse. The shelves are a little more than 5 ft. high, and the exoskeleton's wrists didn't rotate enough for that use case. We try to limit degrees of freedom for weight; we want our systems to be efficient and cost-effective. We…

…declaration titled “Looking Further,” American carmaker Ford said, “[By] 2021 … [the] vehicle will operate without a steering wheel, gas pedal, or brake pedal within geofenced areas as part of a ride-sharing or ride-hailing experience. By doing this, the vehicle will be classified as a SAE Level 4 capable-vehicle.” However, last month Ford CEO Jim Hackett publicly acknowledged that the vehicle’s application will be limited because autonomous driving is more complex than the industry anticipated. Part of the difficulty with designing a Level 3 car is human nature itself. Can a human be relaxed and alert at the same time?…
