…motion planning and control software for industrial robots with Siemens Process Simulate. The companies said this will enable Siemens customers to use RapidPlan without leaving Process Simulate as part of their regular workflows. “Robot programming and task planning has been a time-consuming—and frankly, difficult—process for far too long,” said George Konidaris, co-founder and chief roboticist of Realtime Robotics. “We founded Realtime Robotics to change that once and for all.” “This integration with Siemens will make it much easier for those using Process Simulate to eliminate collisions and quickly take robot task plans from simulation to reality,” he added. Founded in…

…Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), General Electric Research, Siemens Technology, and Ready Robotics. ARM said the companies have signed conflict-of-interest agreements to protect the survey takers’ information. The working group’s feedback “has been monumental” in helping the institute understand how the technology it is testing within its own walls is being used in market, Skocik said. He said a lot of the projects ARM works on are systems that are between Level 4 through 7 on the technology readiness level (TRL) scale. The working group is serving as a reality check in a way. “The feedback we are getting…

…has worked with companies such as Amazon, Mitsubishi, and Siemens on mapping, navigation, and autonomous decision making. Cogniteam now packages its mission-management system as the cloud-based Nimbus. Cogniteam aims to ease robot development NVIDIA Corp. made its Jetson AGX Orin 32GB production modules available last month. However, some industrial users had concerns about the ease of deployment, according to Cogniteam. As a preferred member of the NVIDIA Partner Network, Cogniteam had early access to NVIDIA's Jetson AGX Orin developer kit, which allowed it to prepare a streamlined process for the new system on module. The company said it included all…

…institutes. Like other organizations — including BMW, Amazon, and Siemens — Fraunhofer IML relies on NVIDIA Omniverse for advanced applied research, said NVIDIA Corp. Fraunhofer IML moves from MP3s to AMRs The Fraunhofer Society has more than 30,000 employees and is involved in hundreds of research projects. In the 1990s, for instance, Fraunhofer was responsible for the development of the MP3 file format, which it said led to the digital music revolution. Seeking to send AGVs along the same path as the compact disc, Fraunhofer in 2013 launched the Smart Transport Robot (STR). BMW and others now widely use it…

…the vulnerabilities in robots owned by NASA, Huawei, and Siemens, as well as in hospitals, banks, and universities. Alias Robotics noted that the security flaws related to ROS 2 could have “devastating consequences” if they are not addressed. ROS 2 was released in February 2015. They could allow distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks on robots, asserted Victor Mayoral Vilches, robotics architect and co-founder of Alias Robotics. “That means you can externally induce through network connectivity large, special crafted networking packages and literally generate essentially enough problems into a robot so that it becomes unstable,” he told Robotics 24/7. The vulnerabilities were…
