…(AMRs) are able to move independently from a central infrastructure on terrain that is not traditionally designed for robots, noted Reply. They can be used in environments that are hazardous for people. The global market for automated guided vehicle (AGVs) and AMRs is expected to reach $13.2 billion by 2026, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 35%, according to Research and Markets.com. Both AGVs and AMRs collectively are going to cross the installed base of 1.5 million in the next five years, as mobile robots become the new normal across day-to-day operations, said Reply. “Reply is a…

…such as agriculture, oil and gas, renewable energy, and infrastructure and construction to adopt more drones, fully autonomous flights are necessary, it said. Key to these operations are the use and FAA acceptance of innovative safety technologies, such as long-range detect-and-avoid (DAA) sensors and software-enabled automation, said American Robotics. It added that the FAA's UAS BVLOS Aviation Rulemaking Committee (ARC) “will be a key step towards the future of the commercial drone industry.” Other committee members include Kirkland, Wash.-based radar maker Echodyne Corp. “We look forward to sharing our insights with the broader commercial drone community and the FAA, and…

…provides a “single pane of glass” to the shared infrastructure and functionality—such as certificate and credential management—each decentralized team of developers can spend more time focusing on their unique business logic and building differentiated services, while maintaining control and ownership of their devices. CDM saves these teams time by providing a standardized provisioning and management process, letting them deploy devices into production and continuing to manage them with minimal touch points. And last but not least, CDM improves the overall security posture of Amazon Robotics systems. Previously, robotic application teams had different solutions for credential rotation with different frequency requirements.…

…go there.” “There's a tremendous opportunity for robots in infrastructure,” she said. “I don't think of robots as replacing people but as getting into corners we've painted ourselves into. There are substructures that are impossible or unsafe for people to climb in. Robots are good for sewer pipes, cable trays, and pipe racks.” “There's a lot of work being done in categorizing extreme environments. I've been talking a lot lately with the International Association of Emergency Managers about what's needed,” Murphy said. “A lot of inspection robots could have multiple uses, but companies don't need to oversell them. If they're…

…avoid obstacles so it can be used near critical infrastructure. The Autonomous Aquatic Inspection and Intervention (A2I2) robot project was led by Rovco and supported by Innovate UK under the Industrial Strategy Research Fund. Forth Engineering, Rovco, D-RisQ, the National Oceanography Centre (NOC), Thales UK, and the University of Manchester participated in the research and development. The project’s goal is to develop underwater autonomous vehicles (UAVs) that can improve safety and reduce the challenges of operating in hazardous environments such as in ponds at nuclear sites. The A2I2 robot successfully completed its nuclear use-case Drop 2 trials at Forth’s Deep…
