…weight of the drone changes, as in a cargo delivery application? “We have proposed some intelligent controls that can learn the answer to those questions over time,” Kayacan continues. “Now our direction is in using AI, so not only is there a navigation and control algorithm, but we can ask the AI engine to make some decisions and increase the autonomy level.” Racing to Innovate with AI and 3D Printing Kayacan says the lab is currently investigating the type of controls required for drone racing, which Lockheed Martin has made investments in recently. “Why is this problem important? It is…

…in the yard, such as interacting with over-the-road semi-trucks, delivery vehicles, or service vehicles. It also integrates with supply chain management systems. At the center of the Outrider System is an autonomous yard truck that hitches to and unhitches from trailers. It can also robotically connect and disconnect trailer brake lines, back semi-trailers with precision, interact safely with loading docks, and keep track of trailer locations throughout the yard, said the company. In addition, Outrider said its systems can help customers achieve their sustainability goals. Instead of automating legacy diesel vehicles, the company said it automates electric vehicles (EVs) to…

…in the Warehouse? Today’s customers expect same-day and next-day delivery guarantees. When they don’t get what they want, they can find another source with just a couple of screen taps or mouse clicks. For this reason, good inventory management - accompanied by the ability to drive goods through the supply chain at a high velocity - has become a must-have in today’s business world. Autonomous drones can perform mundane and repetitive inventory management tasks, as well as tasks that are dangerous for humans, such as flying up to view inventory on high shelves. “Drone tech is growing so advanced that…

…based on Lotte’s preferences to provide highly efficient goods delivery across 417 stores. The retailing warehouse project saw CoEvolution identify a range of solutions using different robot combinations that were then tested via its SIMULATOR product to ensure the best choice was made. For the Lotte solution, CoEvolution integrated the mobile robots with its robot control system (RCS) so they are able to operate as a single fleet. In this particular project, CoEvolution’s smart logistics control system docked with Lotte’s warehouse control system (WCS) to create a customized automated warehouse solution that provided full control and visibility of the new…

…designing robots to work in more and more industries. Delivery robots bring food to hungry customers. Robot arms are used in factories for pick-and-place tasks. And mobile robots move around warehouses receiving and delivering items to workers. Companies are designing robots to complete specific tasks. Austin, Texas-based Apptronik is one of several companies designing general-purpose humanoid robots it hopes will be capable of completing a whole swath of them. Apptronik last week raised $14.6 million in seed round funding. It said it will use the money to fulfill customer orders and accelerate “the commercialization of one of the industry’s first…
