…of AutoModel signifies and advancement in its OSARO SightWorks perception platform. Speed, adaptation play a major role in AutoModel In order fulfillment, where speed is critical, businesses often face days or weeks of costly downtime to update their robots for new SKUs. In contrast, OSARO says AutoModel enables robots to automatically learn and adapt to new items, processes and workflows with zero downtime. OSARO AutoModel accelerates the introduction and onboarding process of new SKUs, and increases robot productivity. These advancements, according to OSARO, allow for greater flexibility and efficiency in kitting, piece-picking and autobagging. “In the fast-paced world of order…

…Grip” (below) demonstrates a natural progression of the robot's perception, manipulation, and autonomy. It also shows how such robots could eventually assist human workers, in this case by bringing tools up scaffolding. “This video ... is meant to communicate the expansion of the research that we're doing on Atlas,” said Scott Kuindersma, Atlas team lead at Boston Dynamics. “We're not just thinking about how to make the robot move dynamically through its environment, like we did in parkour and dance,” he said. “Now, we're starting to put Atlas to work and think about how the robot should be able to…

…Mark Ganninger, president of DAC Robotics. “With OSARO’s SightWorks Perception Software, we were able to design and deploy a system that met our exacting specifications.” While many other tasks downstream from the loading dock have been automated, the hazardous manual tasks of unstacking, sorting, scanning, opening and transferring (decanting) master pack box contents into standard totes are often still performed by humans. To automate the entire process, DAC Robotics looked for a depalletizing system capable of unloading a wide variety of box sizes and shapes from a pallet and then handed off each box to an automated box-opening robot in…

…It said its image-grade, long-range lidar provides a complete perception and road management solution. The company claimed that its lidar has a 120-degree horizontal viewing angle, ultra-high resolution, and the industry’s longest detection range, capable of “seeing” up to 500 m (1,640 ft.). Innovusion said its “flexible gaze” function generates a detailed three-dimensional point of view to track vehicles and pedestrians while simultaneously maintaining high-resolution perception across the entire field of view, even in low-light conditions. The sensor has been a key building block in Baidu's deployment of Apollo Intelligent Transportation City projects across cities such as Beijing, Changsha, and…

…learning. By giving mobile and picking robots more human-like perception of their physical environments, developers are also increasing the level of precision that users can expect from them. This in turn has expanded the range of tasks and services that robots can perform autonomously. “Robotics is often defined as an intelligent connection between sensing and acting,” said Sean Johnson, chief technology officer at Locus Robotics. “The sensor data is fed to algorithms that allow robots to actively map their working environments, recognize known objects as well as unknown obstacles, predict the movement of objects, predict congestion, and then make the…
