…intralogistics The new intralogistics robots make use of visionbased navigation, sensors, and machine learning, to allow them to do things like work safely alongside humans and move through warehouses in efficient, safe patterns. And rather than being fixed to the floor, today’s intralogistics robotics can come in the form of smart, wheeled carts that navigate the warehouse using minimal guidance infrastructure. While the ability of intralogistics robots to think may fall short of Sci-Fi visions, a collaborative picking robot knows it needs to stop when touched by a human, and the software guiding a robotic cart will adjust its path…

…customer production environments. Palion Lift combines Seegrid's 3D vision-based navigation with situational awareness to automate pallet movement, noted the company. The company said its newest AMR can autonomously transport loads up to 3,500 lb. throughout customer operations. It can precisely and securely retrieve and place palletized goods at heights of up to 6 ft. for an “end-to-end solution for pallet movement,” said Seegrid. The Palion Tow Tractor autonomously transforms horizontal material movement by tugging cart trains and other payloads weighing up to 10,000 lb. It uses proprietary navigation technology for safe deliveries, Seegrid added. With new advances in perception technology,…

…maritime industry through advanced AI for autonomous transport and navigation, as well as solar-powered electrification of marine vessels. Buffalo Automation's flagship product, AutoMate, is a predictive marine navigation system that guides large commercial ships. The system works day and night, using neural networks and thermal imaging to identify obstructions and provide warnings and assistance in safely navigating around them. AutoMate has already been adopted by multiple commercial ships operating on the American Great Lakes and has new pilots around the world, said Buffalo Automation. A version of the AutoMate system was available as an advanced driver-assist system (ADAS) called Pegasus…

…it’s the whole robot and software stack, it’s the navigation capabilities, the enhanced safety capabilities like the forklift-detection algorithm and integration capabilities with pick and put-to-light systems. This would be difficult to do with a third-party integrator. It possible to describe FlexShelf, FlexShelf Guide, and Roller Top Guide in a little more detail? What's unique about each? Wise: There are many new and unique features. The new Fetch AMRs offer a lot of new visual indicators for pick and put-to-light, aisle pick location light, and pick priority indicators. They also operate using new social navigation behaviors for robot-to-robot, robot-to-forklift, and…

…first fully autonomous lawnmower, which it said uses satellite navigation and can reduce costs and safety incidents. The company also provides diesel and electric emergency power generators. In addition, FJD has developed a disinfection robot that it said can efficiently spray a chemical mist or use ultraviolet light for cleaning. The mobile robot can also provide information on its status in real time, cooperate with other robots, and automatically patrol in a preset area, said the company. Funding to accelerate global reach FJ Dynamics declined to name the sole investor in its Series B round, which it identified as a…

…the MassRobotics Interoperability Standard isn't a fleet management, vehicle navigation, or safety system. Consequently, vehicles that comply with the standard would still need separate navigation and safety systems. In addition, the working group has determined that the standard will not address hardware changes such as shared chargers or other types of robots, like robotic arms. MassRobotics said it welcomes any interested parties to join the ongoing effort. MassRobotics AMR Interoperability Standard vs. VDA 5050 VDA 5050 is the forthcoming European standard for AMR and AGV interoperability. It is a standardized interface between mobile robots and back-end software including the central…
