…THL adds Brooks to automation portfolio The era of 5G, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), autonomous vehicles, and artificial intelligence is expected to drive semiconductor industry revenue to approximately $1 trillion by 2030, up from approximately $450 billion today. As a result, semiconductor manufacturers are investing heavily in new automation and robotics equipment to maximize production capacity, said Brooks. Boston-based Thomas H. Lee Partners said it invests in middle-market growth companies in financial services, healthcare and technology, and business solutions. Since 1974, the private equity firm has raised more than $30 billion of equity capital, invested in over 160…

…Halo, a remote-piloted driverless car service operating on T-Mobile’s 5G network served as the official pace car, leading each set of IAC teams off of pit lane and completing a warmup lap at speeds of 65 to 80 mph before the start of each round. Bridgette Foster from Las Vegas sang the national anthem. PoliMOVE competed against TUM Autonomous Motorsport in the final round of the competition. In addition, PoliMOVE set the fastest speed record on an oval with a top speed of 173 mph. “Today was the real birth of autonomous racing,” said Prof. Sergio Savaresi, team lead of…

…the report said. With cheaper sensors, universal connectivity and 5G networking, and the application of artificial intelligence, robotics users could gain timely insights into critical processes. Data collected from stationary and mobile sensors and analyzed with AI could drive greater efficiency, flexibility, and productivity, said Meili. “A few companies have tried using robots from more than one vendor,” von der Burg told Robotics 24/7. “They want to avoid bottleneck inefficiencies. One pharmaceutical firm has been using AGVs and is looking to diversify its fleets with AMRs and robots for outdoor deliveries.” The report includes a case study about Project START,…

…They can call for an elevator via Wi-Fi or 5G LTE, select a floor, and then exiting the elevator upon reaching its destination. Using machine vision, a robot can determine if an elevator has enough room or if it's too full to accommodate the robot. The interface also informs the elevator system when to open the doors and adjust door dwell timing to ensure the smoothest journey possible for the robot. The robotics interface can also be used for other purposes, including housekeeping and security, said TK Elevator. In addition, three of the service cars are designed to be remotely…

…Cloud and other applications with spotty LTE or even 5G coverage, the InOrbit Agent will continue to run on it, said the company. InOrbit claimed that Data Backfill can ensure data integrity and persistence, as well as enable operators to throttle data up and down to adapt to a situation. “We practice aggressive data decimation for our users,” said the company. “Keeping data management costs under control while maintaining data quality and integrity is an important part of our approach to effective data management. Adaptive Diagnostics collect and transmit only the minimum information necessary for useful insights, and change dynamically…
