…confined spaces, SLAM [simultaneous localization and mapping] won't work. Teleoperation is harder when you're looking through a straw and can't turn around. There's no space for lasers, and you can only shine a light ahead in a narrow area. It's a hard problem—harder than running robots on Mars.” “Going up or down in high tortosity or with slippery or wet surfaces, with gravel or sand—the geometry doesn't work,” she added. “What about when a robot loses odometry or contact with a surface?” Murphy, who is a member of the non-profit Center for Robot-Assisted Search and Rescue (CRASAR), said the organization…

…remotely controlled by humans. Tactile sensation will enhance the teleoperation and semi-autonomous control of underwater robot hands for difficult manual tasks.” The gripper uses an advanced array of visual and underwater sensors to orient itself to its environment, said Sarcos. It will operate in hazardous underwater environments that would typically damage end effectors, including turbidity, ocean swells, and other dynamic conditions. Data collected from the hand’s interactions within the environment will be sent back to the operator control unit (OCU), allowing the operator to perform complex manipulation tasks from a remote location.

…This relies on the robot's autonomy and is not teleoperation, said SparkAI. The whole process should be resolved within a matter of moments, the company claimed. Bringing in humans to do what robots can't Building robots that have the flexibility to understand and adapt to changing work environments perfectly in every scenario continues to be an extremely hard challenge to solve, Michael Kohen, CEO and founder of SparkAI, told Robotics 24/7. AI models are not trained to understand the unpredictability of the real world, he added. “That dissonance can be confusing to AI, preventing companies from launching & scaling world-changing…

…Sarcos’ robotic systems include baseline software enabling basic controls, teleoperation, and semi-autonomous capabilities. Sarcos will provide additional software options, such as supervised autonomy as an incremental service. Sarcos’ supervised autonomy framework uses multi-modal sensor data to optimally perceive, interact, and conceptualize unstructured environments. Combined with our success-based learning AI approach, the supervised autonomy framework harnesses the power of real-time and learned-behavior data inputs that enable Sarcos’ robots to execute task-specific autonomy in unstructured environments successfully. Its advanced, success-based AI enables human workers' flexibility, creativity, and improvisation skills to deliver improved workflow performance and safer interactions between humans and machines for…

…is robot connectivity? “One of my previous roles was teleoperations, and at one company, we had four robots deployed all over the world,” Cross said. “By removing distance as a barrier with LTE, you can reduce risk and improve safety and pilot from anywhere in the world. With more autonomous systems, you need fewer people onboard a ship, reducing the overall cost and complexity.” RTI Connext 6.1 supports and optimizes communications across highly variable networks. How has it helped Mission Robotics? “Our software focuses on extensibility and scalability, supported by RTI Connext. The 6.1 release builds in WAN transport layer,”…

…pairing of Motion Amplification technology with Spot's agility and teleoperation capabilities.” RDI provides sight beyond sight with Motion Amplification RDI Technologies said its proprietary Motion Ampilfication system drives intelligent vibration equipment, data analytics, robotics, and services. The platform allows users “to see and measure motion previously impossible to visualize by contacting sensors,” it claimed. The company said this allows reliability and test-and-measure programs to make faster, safer, and more informed decisions. With 200 years of industry experience, RDI Technologies said it helps clients in more than 60 countries and 40 industries gain greater speed to insight while reducing risk and…

…Insight customer-facing suite of AV tools for fleet management, teleoperation, and analytics, plus the Cyngn Evolve internal data toolkit for AI, simulation, and modeling. “With advanced lidar sensing, the DriveMod platform performs at levels higher than autonomous industrial vehicles that use legacy sensor technology,” asserted Cyngn. Since partnering with Ouster in January 2023 and adding the REV7 digital sensor to DriveMod, Cyngn said it has delivered products to customers. The company has also collaborated with Columbia Vehicle Group to manufacture electric DriveMod Stockchasers, Motrec on DriveMod Tuggers, and other leading manufacturers for DriveMod Forklifts to meet growing mobile robot demand.…

…vehicle also features Udelv's 24/7 proprietary ultra-low latency camera-based teleoperation system for remote maneuvers and assistance. It uses the comapny's proprietary uECU (Electronic Control Unit), which acts as the vehicle's central compute unit to integrate and optimize all functions. Battery capacity is between 90 and 160 kWh with a 160 to 300 mi. (257.4 to 482.8 km) range, said Laury. DC fast charging will take 45 minutes to add up to 220 miles of range. The Transporter's top speed is 70 mph (112.6 kph). The fleet of Transporters is operated by Udelv's proprietary Fleet Intelligence and Management System with route…

…government, and manufacturing industries. The company provides remote control, teleoperation, and fully automated industrial vehicles and tests them at its 100-acre proving ground in northern Utah. ASI Logistics uses lidar, VAK to back up trucks ASI Logistics said it used its “robust” and “state-of-the-art” Vehicle Automation Kit (VAK) and SICK’s lidar sensors to overcome this challenge. Inside the VAK is the truck’s Vehicle Control Unit (VCU). The VCU commands all the truck’s functions when the truck is in autonomous mode. The VCU relies on quality data transmitted from sensors to autonomously reverse into trailers, said ASI. The company used two…

…also includes the Cyngn Insight suite of fleet management, teleoperation, and analytics tools, and the Cyngn Evolve internal toolkit for AI, simulation, and modeling. About 65% of the company's staff is dedicated to engineering, said Landen. The contract for 100 autonomous forklifts builds upon a previously announced partnership with Arauco. The global building materials manufacturer's initial order is only a small portion of its existing fleet but represents a multi-million annual recurring revenue deployment for Cyngn, demonstrating the potential for growth, said the companies. In addition, Arauco's paid, non-refundable order marks “a significant milestone” in the launch of DriveMod, which…
