…Micropsi Industries recently announced a partnership with the Fraunhofer Institute for Factory Operation and Automation (IFF) to open a new use-case research laboratory in Magdeburg, Germany. Additionally, Micropsi will demonstrate applications of its AI-based MIRAI machine vision system, including reflective disc picking and hook hanging, at ATX West in Anaheim, CA February 6-9 at booth 4566. Micropsi said U.S. companies can work with a local team during and after the show to workshop use cases for the new lab. Robot arms to demonstrate MIRAI variance adaptation Micropsi said applications such as reflective disk picking and hook hanging are too complex…

A new report by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University describes how cognitive science and psychology could help humans collaborate with robots more effectively. The researchers examined 35 research papers that focused on humans teaching robots new behaviors. In their analysis, the researchers kept in mind two theories—“the analogical transfer theory” and “the variation of theory of learning.” The “analogical transfer theory” suggests that humans learn by analogy. When humans interact with a new domain or concept, they implicitly look for something familiar they can use to understand the new entity. The “variation theory of learning,”…

…work on the exoskeleton technology research at the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University. Verve is now looking toward commercializing the product. “Our system is technically composed of textiles and has a small motor for power that is similar to motors used in consumer robot applications. The system acts like an external muscle that applies force to your biological muscles and has integrated sensors to adjust to your movements.” Why choose soft? “We looked at how muscles were working and then joints,” Galiana says. “When moving joints, it felt like probably there would be restrictions to movement…

…How other standards efforts compare While MassRobotics, A3, the ARM Institute, and others have collaborated, other interoperability efforts are also under way. Most noteworthy are the OpenRMF free modular software and reference platform and the German VDA 5050 standard. “Open Robotics has been a great contributor to the industry,” acknowledged Theobald. “OpenRMF is more of an implementation than a standard. It was designed to work in a hospital in Singapore, but another company couldn’t just adopt it. We are in partnership discussions.” “There has been extensive proof ... that Open-RMF is an open-source initiative that enables interoperability and is available…
