…safer, comfortable, and more accessible,” he added. Teleo offers teleoperation on the way to full autonomy Full autonomy, which doesn't require any human intervention, is still many years away for the construction industry and many others, noted Teleo. The company said its supervised autonomy technology enables operators to remotely perform complex tasks to provide value for contractors today rather than many years from now. Teleo's offerings include its proprietary software, a universal retrofit kit customized for any machine, and a remote command center to operate the equipment. It also offers a robust mesh network to connect the command center with…

…“We are looking at different operating modes, such as teleoperation and autonomous operations, depending on the user's needs at the time,” Gordon said. “We're also looking at combinations of wireless and tethered mode, which is more secure.” How much training will be required? “We want a warfighter to be able to pick up an OCU [optical control unit] and use its graphical user interface and be up and running within five to 15 minutes,” he added. “The goal is to be user-friendly. A lot of these applications take marines and soldiers out of harm's way by having the autonomous sytems…

…people are in proximity. In addition, remote telepresence and teleoperation capabilities allow for human robotics experts to troubleshoot and resolve edge cases and reduce downtime. The march of automation isn't inevitable or universally welcomed, however. Managers should watch for “automation anxiety,” where workers fear that robots will endanger their jobs. However, contrary to some widely circulated reports, supply chain operations are so short-handed, and the need for both skilled labor and robots is still so great, that all parties to automation have a responsibility to better educate shareholders, employees, and other stakeholders about its potential. As Markus Voss, a global…

…efficacy of its robotic technology in treating pediatric patients. Teleoperation and 5G networking could help to democratize healthcare. “The notion of being able to project expertise with a highly skilled expert projecting in for half an hour,” said Fischel. “It's not just the user interface; the physician needs all the necessary information and low latency.” “We have done 10 to 20 telesurgery procedures, where an operator was in Boston and the patient was in Milan,” he recalled. “It has been very difficult to travel or get into hospitals, so our clinical support teams joined procedures remotely. You still need a…

…built by Estonian technology company Clevon that combines remote teleoperation with advanced autopilot functionality. The first test runs of the CLEVON 1 vehicle took place in recent weeks on the parking lot of a distribution center in Londerzeel, Belgium. The delivery system took to public roads for the first time this week. It covered a 4 km (2.4 mi.) route from the distribution center to Collect&Go's pickup point in Londerzeel. This is the longest route for unmanned vehicle in Belgium to date, said the companies. “In this first phase, we mainly want to test the technology, study what the vehicle…

Source: InOrbit Time Capsule delivers actionable data Time Capsule is a software-as-a-service feature that gives robot users the ability to “turn back time” to see where failures occurred. “Before Time Capsule, users had to download data, put it into a simulation, and try to glean information from it. You really needed a Ph.D. in robotics,” said Pestoni. “For people in production, this has become critical at scale. They need to understand incidents in the real…
