…China, Aurora and Volvo partnering on autonomous trucks, and Siemens Digital Industries Software working with the MaRS Discovery District in Toronto. Race to autonomous driving is a marathon, not a sprint Toyota has said that it plans to offer next-generation mobility services rather than fully autonomous vehicles. Both Woven Planet and Lyft acknowledged that the quest for SAE Level 5 autonomy will still take time, money, and effort. “This acquisition significantly accelerates our ability to bring technology solutions forward with an influx of exceptional engineers and leading-edge technology,” said George Kellerman, head of investments and acquisitions at Woven Planet. “It…

…some of the highlights in robotics from ProMat DX: Siemens introduces conveyor drive Siemens introduced the Sinamics G115D drive for horizontal conveyor applications. The motor, drive, and gearbox are all in one unit that can be wall-mounted or motor-mounted. The drive system includes a high protection class—up to IP66/UL Type 4X—making it suitable for harsh environments, according to the company. The Sinamics G115D can also operate reliably over a temperature range of -22 to 131 degrees Fahrenheit (-30° to 55°C), so it can work in extremely hot or cold conditions, such as those found in the logistics, aerospace, automotive, and…

…that its collaborative robots will soon be part of Siemens' Totally Integrated Automation, or TIA, portal. This will enable systems integrators and machine builders to integrate cobot arms into complex manufacturing environments, it said. The UR cobots will become part of the Simatic Robot Library in the TIA environment through an interpreter interface expected to be complete in the fourth quarter of 2021, according to the company. “Machinery and plant engineers, as well as manufacturers with large production facilities, will benefit from our cobots‘ TIA integration,” said Bernd Meier, director of global key accounts and OEMS at Universal Robots. “Thanks…

…of possibilities both from a design and population perspective.” Siemens Digital Industries Software’s Simcenter simulation portfolio is also helping medical device makers get closer to in silico testing. Vyaire Medical, a maker of respiratory care equipment, is moving away from using simplified models for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations of respiratory masks to more realistic and individualized simulations by introducing patient-specific data into those models. By incorporating the lung structure and volume of various breathing profiles, the company is building a library of patient profiles and morphologies along with usage scenarios—for example, an otherwise healthy young adult with COVID-19 or…
