…double the speed of any competitors, it said. The MIT spinout recently raised $5.75 million in funding led by Hyperplane. Dill robots plus people pick packages To maintain that speed, people must supervise Dill's operation and lend an occasional helping hand, stepping in every so often to pick up any dropped packages and handle irregular items. This saves employees' backs and reduces the considerable costs associated with labor, mis-sorts, damaged items, and trucks leaving late, said Pickle. However, what customers are really looking for is a way to increase capacity and revenue in their existing facilities, according to the company.…

…Technological University of Singapore winning the Pick Task and MIT Princeton winning the Stow Task. The Australian Centre for Robotic Vision developed their own Cartesian robot “Cartman” for the challenge. Theirs was the only Cartesian robot at the event, and it is believed to be the least expensive contestant as well. Cartman can move along three axes at right angles to each other, like a gantry crane, and featured a rotating gripper that allowed the robot to pick up items using either suction or a simple two-finger grip. This year’s finalists demonstrated sophisticated solutions combining object recognition, pose recognition, grasp…

…print, without assembly of subcomponents. Written in collaboration with MIT and the Soft Robotics Lab at ETH Zurich, the paper, titled “Vision-Controlled Jetting for Composite Systems and Robots,” demonstrates how VCJ opens a new frontier in manufacturing by expanding capabilities to synthetically recreate the intricate structure and functionality of natural organisms. Traditional manufacturing methods struggle to fabricate systems that mirror the intricate structures and varied material properties found in nature. VCJ rises to this challenge, offering the ability to accurately fabricate complex, multi-functional systems in a single print without the need to assemble subcomponents. “Our VCJ technology is a qualitative…

We've seen cameras to look at depth deformations inside soft grippers.” “From a machine learning point of view, when we develop advanced robotics applications, we need to process a lot of sensory data,” added Nikovski. “Proprioceptive sensing at the wrist is used in all types of applications that require contact. This affects Mitsubishi's business in a big way. Without contact, third-generation pick-and-place operations require hard programming and a teach pendant.” Source: Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories MERL applies machine learning MERL's research includes the use of machine learning to reduce the…
