…and warehouse automation, and teleoperations where low latency and ease of use are critical,” the company said in a product page describing the PAL USB. The vision systems use NVIDIA’s Jetson NX Carrier Board GPUs. Rajat Aggarwal, CEO of DreamVu, said NVIDIA’s chips have helped the company take advantage of more sophisticated software to better take advantage of artificial intelligence. Robots that can only take advantage of CPUs from Intel are more limited power-wise, Aggarwal said. Those limitations can pose problems since a good vision system needs a robust amount of data to work well. Photoneo combines two technologies to…

…area and in the warehouse. Therefore, simple docking and ease of use were placed high among our expectations regarding the modules.” The six MiR200s perform two types of tasks. Five of the AMRs supply raw materials and finished products between the warehouse and the given value streams. The sixth AMR works in a fully automated setup with a special, custom-made module attached. An automatic packaging station next to the injection-molding machine counts the finished products. It calls the robot automatically when the storage compartment is full. As part of the mission, the MiR200 picks up an empty bin, replaces it…
