…from Harvard Biorobotics Lab, the Yale GRAB Lab, and MIT founded RightHand Robotics in 2015. The Somerville, Mass.-based company applies computer vision and machine learning for its RightPick piece-picking system. RightHand raised $66 million in Series C funding last month. Partnership program intended to ease robotics adoption RightHand Robotics said its Partner Integrator program will make it easier for end customers to adopt robotic picking by working with their preferred automation suppliers. “The Partner Integrator program aligns business goals of system integrators, OEM technology providers, certified robot integrator partners, and other related sales alliance members,” said Paul Eyre, director of…

…these new machines,” Ben Armstrong, interim executive director of MIT's Industrial Performance Center, told Forbes. “The assumption has been that if you build training programs for technicians in robotics or advanced manufacturing skills, then there will be jobs for those people.” “But that’s not actually happening, and unless SMEs [small and midsize enterprises] invest in those new technologies, those new jobs won’t come. There are two sides to the equation—one is the training, but the other, and where we think the start should be, is SMEs investing in more advanced equipment and advanced approaches to manufacturing, which will lead to…

…1,500 universities worldwide are using and teaching Julia, including MIT, Stanford University, and the University of California, Berkeley. Julia is used by over 10,000 companies worldwide, including AstraZeneca, BlackRock, Google, Intel, Microsoft, Moderna, and Pfizer. In addition, NASA, the Federal Aviation Administration, and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York use the language, said Julia Computing. The company has recently focused on creating a suite of machine learning-enhanced modeling and simulation tools, such as JuliaSim for multi-physics simulation, and JuliaSPICE for circuit simulation, and the Pumas framework for pharmaceutical simulation with partner company Pumas-AI. Since Julia was introduced to the…

…a simple block-based visual language for kids developed at MIT Media Lab, which was influential in its design. Task Canvas allows users to show the actions of the robot, as well as all the other devices in an automation cell as blocks in a flowchart. These include grippers, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and machine tools. The user can easily create powerful logic by tying these blocks together — without writing a single line of code, said READY Robotics. The interface offers nonprogrammers a more “drag-and-drop” experience for programming and deploying robots. Users can work directly on the factory floor with…

…for precise vehicle localization.” Based on technology developed at MIT Lincoln Labs, WaveSense's Ground Positioning Radar (GPR) enables vehicles to determine their precise location with centimeter-level accuracy, regardless of road conditions. The proprietary system includes hardware and software, and it works by mapping subsurface features with ultra-wideband radar. The company said it is working with major automakers and Tier 1 suppliers to help vehicles navigate where current advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), including lidar and camera-based systems fall short. This includes conditions such as bad weather, poorly marked roads, and areas with poor GPS availability. WaveSense finds automakers receptive to GPR…
