…handling without the complexity of forklifts, pallet jacks, conveyors, elevators and other automation. This simplicity is enabled by three key breakthroughs, according to the company: Simplified offering: Unlike other offerings that involve thousands of parts and saddle customers with technical debt, Mytra comprises only three individual components: bots, a simple and repeating matrix structure and edge-intelligent software, which simplifies the deployment process, reduces cost and avoids single points of failure. 3D movement: Mytra is the first system that allows for full 3D movement at up to 3,000 pounds from any cell to any adjacent cell in any direction. This achieves…

…Europe, and Asia. The Servi Lift line works with elevators. The Servi Plus model also includes responsive lighting, an expanded 16-plus dish capacity, and an 88-lb. payload to cover large restaurants and busy periods. Both robots are National Sanitation Foundation (NSF)-certified and can be integrated into any service industry workflow while adhering to all health code and compliance standards, said Bear Robotics. The company said Servi is currently deployed in partnership with major brands such as Google, Pepsi, Denny’s, and Marriott. RobotLAB helps maintain service robot ROI RobotLAB claimed that it helps customers improve employee retention, deliver returns on investment…

…server-led interactions, such as when vehicles interface with equipment (elevators, automatic doors), and for traffic control. In comparison, if a vehicle uses scan matching technology that regularly updates the map, this requires strong, consistent wireless connectivity (not always the case in warehouses and on shop floors). This is because each updated map must be downloaded by each vehicle in the fleet from a central server, ideally in close to real-time. Remember, these incredibly detailed grid-based maps can have very large file sizes. Which is more accurate – scan matching or feature matching? It is not easy to ensure the repeatability…

…each operating in a five-story warehouse integrated with four elevators and radio frequency identification (RFID) cages. They are connected to the company’s ERP and WMS systems, and there are 450 receiving positions and 3,000 tissue storage positions. The MiR1000 robots and MiR Fleet Manager have helped Florisa get more data for analysis, increase productivity and market responsiveness, reduce errors, and ultimately grow profits, said Mullen. “We're not developing software specifically for the semiconductor market or the pharmaceutical market,” Mullen said. “We're developing software that can be configured to connect into and be used in many different verticals. That’s what makes…

…would you open a door and get in an elevator? Does that even make sense in terms of ROI [return on investment]? We'll see folks enter and exit this space.” “We need a robot that can operate in both indoor settings like our sort facilties and outdoor settings,” he added. “5G will help navigation systems that get blinded in the transitions between nodes. We're starting to see sensors coming down in price, so we can put them in things smaller than autonomous cars. This is also useful for unloading airplanes—people don't know how much cargo moved on passenger planes during…

…bagger, then pass along a conveyor to a tSortLift elevator, which hands it off to a tSort AMR on the upper level for shipping sortation. “Instead of those being two separate operations, we've consolidated them in one infrastructure to save space and touches,” Futch said. “That will fully automate the entire process - from induction through shipping to the end destination.” “A lot of our innovation is sparked by touches,” said Bill Pelzar, Tompkins Robotics CTO. “Wherever there's a manual touch or a manual process, Mike and our other engineers have come up with innovative ways to automate those steps,…

…including Canon, John Deere, Microsoft Azure, Teradyne, and TK Elevator. NVIDIA said its Jetson ecosystem is growing rapidly with over 1 million developers, 6,000 customers, 2,000 startups, and 150 partners. Jetson partners offer a wide range of support from AI software, hardware, and application design services to cameras, sensors and peripherals, and developer tools and systems. Orin Nano is supported by the NVIDIA JetPack software development kit (SDK) and is powered by the same NVIDIA CUDA-X accelerated computing stack used to create AI products in fields such as the industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), manufacturing, and smart cities. The Jetson…

…standard configuration of the Sapphire just with a taller elevator. That shortens development time, lessens costs and keeps things easier for qualification.” Knust-Godwin, a precision tool and component manufacturer, has placed an order to produce with latest version of the Sapphire, slated to ship later this year. Knust-Godwin, which is leveraging the large-scale Sapphire machine to create a part for oilfield drilling, chose the newer system because of its reliability and confidence it would produce industrial-grade parts without compromise to quality, says Mike Corliss, vice president of technology at Knust-Godwin. With many of the large-scale AM systems, there are high…

…elements - such as traffic lights, automated doors, and elevators - as well as robot-to-robot communication. Centralized communication through a browser-based network operations console provides airport administrators with monitoring capabilities. The console also allows telemetry, navigation, and operational data to be collected and even shared with other robots. Using contextual AI, Ottonomy’s autonomous mobile delivery robots navigate through crowds within PIT’s terminal, learning how to interact with a variety of people. Source: Pittsburgh International Airport Vijay said during initial deployment, only one or two robots are needed to map the operating environment, sharing the data with other robots through the…
