ABB Robotics has extended the scope of its free Wizard Easy Programming software to include its six-axis industrial robots powered by an OmniCoreTM controller in addition to its collaborative robots. The move makes ABB the first robot manufacturer to offer an easy-to-use, no-code programming tool for cobots and six-axis industrial robots, lowering barriers to automation for new users and offering ecosystem partners and integrators an efficient tool to support their customers. “Addressing industry challenges and opportunities is essential to sustain and accelerate the worldwide adoption of robotics automation,” said Marc Segura, president of ABB Robotics. “By extending Wizard Easy Programming…
Autonomous vehicles require object detection systems to navigate traffic and avoid obstacles on the road. However, current methods often suffer from diminished detection due to bad weather, unstructured roads, or occlusion. A team of researchers have stepped up to address the challenge with a novel IoT-enabled deep learning-based end-to-end 3D object detection system that offers improved detection capabilities even under unfavorable conditions. Autonomous vehicles hold the promise of tackling traffic congestion, enhancing traffic flow through vehicle-to-vehicle communication, and revolutionizing the travel experience by offering comfortable and safe journeys. Additionally, integrating autonomous driving technology into electric vehicles could contribute to more…
ReWalk Robotics, Ltd., a leading provider of innovative technologies that enable mobility and wellness in rehabilitation and daily life for individuals with neurological conditions, announced the successful demonstration of a proof-of-concept next-generation exoskeleton.

Pipetting is a highly technical skill, requiring precision and repetition over potentially long periods of time. Without the proper training & execution — along with steady hands and a healthy dose of patience — pipetting results can vary wildly. Thankfully, many of the challenges with manual pipetting can be solved with automation. Read on to learn how automation is making pipetting easier, faster, and more reliable. What is pipetting? Pipetting is the process of using a pipette — a tube-shaped tool used to measure and dispense small amounts of liquid — to move liquid from one container to another, usually…
