…is approved for use by essential workers providing groceries, delivery, transportation and other supporting services. Since the Maker Mask is designed with replaceable HEPA filters, the mask can be reused simply by replacing a filter and sanitizing the mask. Typical usage patterns show that during a two-month period a person would use only one reusable Maker Mask instead of using and throwing away 300 to 400 disposable N95 masks during the same time period. Due to the demand for mask-making materials, the build of materials for the Maker Mask is now included on the list of essential materials on Amazon.com.…

…freight robot networks that provide highly efficient and timely delivery at low costs.” Ma also outlined the significant ESG benefits delivered by Inceptio's current technology. “Developed economies and emerging economies face similar challenges in the trucking industry – a labor shortage driven by challenging working conditions and the heavy emissions created by diesel-guzzling trucks,” he explained. Inceptio's autonomous driving technology addresses both of these issues. Highly automated driving creates a safer and less stressful working environment, reducing collision risk by 75%, drivers’ physical fatigue by 35% while generating fuel savings of 2% to 10%. Ma says Inceptio is able to…

…competitive environment and are under constant pressure to accelerate delivery times while lowering costs. Although robotic depalletizing (depal) of homogenous pallets has been around for a while, mixed-case or partial-layer loads are far more technically challenging and require advanced machine-learning vision for it to be successful. The vision system has to determine various case angles, which cases are on top and which should be picked first. It must have the intelligence to choose and select different end-of-arm tools (EOAT), and then ascertain the precise grasp pose to avoid interfering with adjacent cases. “Depal is a warehouse workflow characterized by heavy…
