…coffee and food. The companies are also testing a “smart city” concept for outdoor deliveries of Starbucks goods within the neighboring parks, apartments, and homes. In addition, Mitsubishi, Cartken, and others are working on deliveries inside a multilevel office building. Looking ahead, Cartken’s CEO says the next big challenge is scaling up robot manufacturing to keep pace with orders. It has strong demand from partners, including Grubhub, Mitsubishi, and U.K. delivery company DPD. In September, Cartken announced a partnership with Magna International, a leading global automotive supplier, to help scale up manufacturing of its robots. The agreement offers production of…

…like conveyor to properly position and move goods. Pick-and-place smarts Robots used in pack out need to have adequate smarts to both pick and place, and to instantly learn on the job as new items come through to be packed. Numerous vendors have emerged who offer software, AI and vision technology for robotic applications like e-commerce packing. These vendors don’t make the robots—they offer a solution layer for robotics, leveraging best-in-class hardware from robot vendors. This approach has already led to real-world deployments for e-comm pack out. For example, Netherlands-based apo.com Group, a leader in automated online pharma, uses a…

…surgery At John Hopkins University, researchers have deployed a smart tissue autonomous robot (STAR) that performed a laparoscopic surgery on a pig. The event is a precursor to what's possible for humans: soft tissue surgery performed by a robot. Surgeons require years of practice to become skilled at performing this type of surgery. It involves connecting two ends of an intestine. It is a challenging procedure, perhaps one of the most challenging in gastrointestinal surgery. Normally, a surgeon sutures the intestinal tissues with precision, being careful to do so without causing infection. There's a scant margin of error. Mistakes could…

…from manufacturing, retail, and construction to agriculture, logistics, healthcare, smart cities, last-mile delivery, and more. Jetson AGX Orin to help build AI-driven products faster Traditionally, developers and engineers have been limited in their ability to handle multiple concurrent data streams for complex application environments, said NVIDIA. They’ve faced strict latency requirements, energy-efficiency constraints, and issues with high-bandwidth wireless connectivity. And they need to be able to easily manage over-the-air software updates. Robotics developers have also been forced to include multiple chips in their designs to harness the compute resources needed to process diverse, ever-growing amounts of data. NVIDIA said Jetson…
