…number of options before choosing Ati Motors. Ati Motors' Sherpa autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) stood out because of their ease of use and the Bengaluru, India-based company's strong customer support through a robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) model. The AMRs have an electric drive train and a custom-built autonomy stack. Unlike automated guided vehicles (AGVs), Ati said its AMRs require less infrastructure and allow for more sophisticated fleet management. Not only did Hyundai Motor India's deployment of its first Sherpas reduce dependence on manual operations, but it also led the company to consider adding more robots for different manufacturing processes.

…added that it has designed the cobot's interface for ease of use, and its plug-and-play concept makes it accessible to SMEs. The robot is suitable for industrial applications including assembly, quality assurance, palletizing, and pick-and-place tasks, said Kassow. Its seventh axis, or “wrist joint,” and safety-compliant design allow for human-robot collaboration, the company said. Users can move the relatively lightweight KR1018 to perform tasks in different areas of a facility. The seventh axis gives the KR1018 a small footprint of 160 x 160 mm (6.2 x 6.2 in.), maneuverability, and an increased range of motion, said the company. It can…

…Argentina, Brazil, Canada, and Mexico. CRX cobots designed for ease of use FANUC claimed that its collaborative robots are safe, easy to use, reliable, and suitable for a wide range of applications, including inspection, machine loading and unloading, packing, palletizing, vision-guided pick and place, sanding, and welding. The CRX robots can detect external forces in the workspace, stopping safely when making contact with a person or object. This technology allows the cobots to work safely alongside people without the need for expensive guarding. FANUC said its new CRX-5iA, CRX-20iA/L and CRX-25iA collaborative robots can handle payloads of 5, 20, and…

…are constantly innovating to improve their robots’ performance and ease of use, allowing more robots to move efficiently and safely through complex traffic situations. Five rapidly changing technologies are worth watching as they drive advancements and deployments of AMRs. 1. AI goes beyond the buzz to make AMRs smarter, safer “Artificial intelligence” remains a confusing buzzword, inconsistently defined across industries and applications. But for AMRs, the technology means smarter robots that can teach themselves how to perform tasks that were previously difficult or impossible without expensive and time-intensive coding. AI requires a significant amount of computational power, which is becoming…
