…the country. The Scout drone can be used for precision agriculture and infrastructure inspection. Source: American Robotics Mozer sets sights on future growth American Robotics raised funding and was itself acquired by Ondas Holdings last year. Are you looking for more investors or acquisition targets? Mozer: We raised $51.5 million. The Scout system is a platform that has broad-reaching applicability across millions of assets around the world. As a result, we will continue to be opportunistic with regard to investments and acquisitions in our ongoing pursuit to serve each of these assets with autonomous drone technology. Our parent company, Ondas…

…AI for capabilities such as identifying objects with greater precision and informing navigation for safe maneuvering through busy facilities, all with less power consumption. And while huge jumps in AI capabilities are still to come, the autonomous behavior of AMRs—how they get from one point to another without truly knowing what goes on around them—will continue to improve. 2. 5G is coming – but maybe not as fast as anyone would like Today’s mobile robots don’t require much infrastructure, so companies can easily start with one robot. However, as soon as facilities add more robots, they must have a way…

…in an X/Y table application. FANUC said its new LiS-B series linear motors have set new standards for acceleration, precision and speed, delivering high gain and rigidity with excellent path accuracy. Unlike conventional drives, these motors work without any force transmission mechanisms, making machine design and maintenance easier (no ball screws, no backlash), the company said. The linear design enables rigid long-stroke axes, increased thrust force and multi-head configurations by arranging multiple coil sliders on a single magnet track. The company will also have a Panel I Industrial PC demo.

…care, or even conducting minor surgical procedures with higher precision, AI and robotics have the potential to transform the healthcare industry. Agriculture – Robotics can use data from sensors and cameras to identify plant health issues, pests, or diseases, enabling timely intervention and optimized crop yield. Autonomous vehicles – Self driving cars and drones are perfect examples of fusion between AI and robotics. As AI advances, these systems will become safer, more reliable, and capable of handling more complex scenarios. About Indxx “At Indxx, each index represents a unique methodology backed by extensive research,” said Chandan Kumar GV, head of…

…employees who understand and manage the manual process with precision. Still others, he says, go with automation to gain optimum control and discipline. Bar codes (pictured) or even radio beacons (in the future) automate the product identification process, ensuring accuracy of returns handling. Source: OPEX The move to automation Control and discipline Control and discipline are what Schechter said are central to success in handling the entire returns process. Quite simply, they are the two key qualities that automation brings to the processing center while gaining critical feedback on inventory quality. “Returns are all about faster,” said Honeywell Intelligrated's Rowland.…

…to operations and maintenance demands the highest levels of precision. Unfortunately, the manufacturing sector is experiencing a shortage of skilled labor. There is an increasing demand for workers with multiple skill sets to operate advanced production systems. This trend is evident across the world and has pushed labor costs to a record high – including in countries usually considered low-cost labor markets. One way to counteract the labor shortage in manufacturing is the increased adoption of robotics, including autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), automated guided vehicles (AGVs), and related technologies. The technologies are vital because they can: Reduce labor costs. Reduce…

…need to be absolutely precise. And we have the precision of the investments in the cars. The new sectors that are lasting and coming to automotive now, they don't really know exactly what they want. So, it becomes very interesting to invent a solution. It's kind of going back many years in a new environment. And so we can, building on our heritage, I think we can serve these new sectors. Culverhouse: In terms of new sectors, you've seen new technologies going on. And here at Automate, everybody has AI involved in some way shape or form. What's Comau doing…

The model's predictions on real images after being trained on the synthetic indoor scene from the third video above. Source: NVIDIA Randomization helps overcome overfitting As shown above, the model failed to detect doors adequately on most of the real images because it overfit to the texture of the door in simulation. The model’s poor performance on synthetic validation dataset with different textured doors confirmed this, the researchers said. Another observation was that the lighting was held steady and constant…

We certainly see expanded mower types like dedicated golf mowers in our future at Scythe, but we’re squarely focused on the broader opportunity in the commercial landscaping industry today. Our mowers will be capable of mowing upwards of 12 acres per charge to allow our customers the freedom to conquer substantial ground every day. Because we bill our customers based on the acreage covered by our machines, we're directly aligned with them when it comes to the goals of our machine: We…
