…open-source software. The robot uses the Robot Operating System (ROS) and can use lidar for long-distance travel and magnetic tape for precise locations, said RGGI. In addition to mobile robots, RGGI provides consulting services including back-end operational oversight, material handling assessment, workflow analysis, and steady-state yield management. It uses artificial intelligence and offers management systems. The company said its engineers have years of experience in the materials handling and robotics industries. As global supply challenges persist, RGGI said it will continue to develop and implement innovative and cost-effective systems. The global market for AGVs could expand from 138,740 units in…

…and automatically labeled in Isaac Sim. Moreover, the Isaac ROS Humble release was a key accomplishment in partnership with Open Robotics. We improved the framework to make it easier to build hardware accelerated ROS 2 applications. We launched a new webinar series for ROS developers that has been extremely well received and available for on-demand viewing. We’re extremely proud of the release of the NVIDIA Jetson Orin edge AI platform, the highest-performance, energy-efficient computer for roboticists currently available (per MLPerf benchmarks). It’s the brains of a new generation of autonomous robots that can sense and perceive the world better and…

…for autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) built on GPU-accelerated Isaac ROS. These cameras enhance depth quality and provide longer-range sensing in varied lighting conditions, which lets Isaac Perceptor - whose general availability was announced by NVIDIA at COMPUTEX - output 3D reconstruction and obstacle cost maps of any unstructured environment. Gemini 330 series provide clearer view The Gemini 335/335L/336/336L cameras operate in both passive and active laser-illuminated modes to ensure high-quality depth and RGB data output, even in challenging lighting conditions. The depth algorithms are processed in the camera by Orbbec’s latest depth engine ASIC and thus eliminates the burden on…

…MoveIt, which integrates within the open-source Robot Operating System (ROS) to enable developers to build automation applications. The Boulder, Colo.-based company added that its software and services have helped corporations such as Google, Hyundai, and Samsung solve difficult manipulation problems. NASA recently awarded PickNik an Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II grant for robot arm motion planning in microgravity environments. The company has also announced the development of a commercialized open-core model of MoveIt, branded MoveIt Studio. It will focus on supervised autonomy and teleoperation to provide localized autonomous action in high-latency environments with the ability to reduce operator…

…platform that's hardware-agnostic. We're able to get instant scale. ROS, the cloud, and interoperability How does Brain Corp view open-source software such as the Robot Operating System (ROS)? Pinn: Open-source has its place. We aren’t religious about open-source versus proprietary software, but we have commercial-grade enterprise solutions, which are different from ROS. We're laser-focused on every engineering design decision—is this right for fleets of tens of thousands of robots? BrainOS has unique properties making it robust enough for enterprise scale. What Brain Corp provides to partners is more than a software package. We offer manufacturing tools for how to make…

…any other piece of data they’d like, be they ROS topics or simple data types, or even entirely customize their own dashboard views using our powerful Web Toolkit. 2. Detecting An Issue Call it Murphy’s Law or just inevitability, but in robot operations, not every mission will go as planned, and when there is an error, it needs to be identified and corrected quickly. Let’s be honest: you may not always be looking at your dashboard during a mission, but Formant dashboards help you ensure you catch every error that occurs with our Events feature. Events, whether informational or critical…

…the system at hand. The team leveraged the open ROS interface, allowing them to develop control and perception solutions, ultimately facilitating smooth navigation of the robot through complex environments. The system involved 3D global positioning along with the goal to replicate ultra-precise “human” movement through the physical space with the robot. For the navigation stack, the team utilized wheel odometry, IMU and LiDAR data as well as an OptiTrack solution for repeatable localization. Finally, a Yaskawa arm was added to move the device under test to an exact location. With the system’s exceptional programmability and precision, the team was able…

…its team of experienced engineers use the Internet of Things (IoT), the MQTT protocol, and the Robot Operating System (ROS) to design technologies that interface with a wide variety of automated equipment, electronic components, and software. Last month, ResGreen said that a Tier 1 automotive supplier had awarded it a $450,000 contract to provide 10 BigBuddy AGVs and its BotWay traffic management software. The robots will use an in-floor opportunity-charging system for continuous operation, it said.

…software.” Stratom has updated its central messaging framework from ROS (the Robot Operating System) to ROS 2, according to Lycas. Stratom at AUVSI Xponential Stratom is exhibiting at Booth 1636 at AUVSI Xponential this week in Orlando, Fla. The company will show Summit and its autonomous ground systems for material movement and resupply that use AMRs and unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs). “We have plenty of experience with the DoD [U.S. Department of Defense]; we're looking to expose ourselves to more commercial users, such as in utilities or logistics yards,” said Gordon. In addition, Lycas will lead a session entitled “Beyond…
