…12 to 18 months, it's more about autonomous systems getting the data and moving on. As remote actuation over 5G networks becomes available, you'll see more and more tasking from anywhere. When we've arrived as a utility for industry at large, people will get used to it. That will be a critical transition point as distributed autonomy becomes ubiquitous, and you stop noticing it. That's counterintiutively where the industry needs to get to.

…in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic, and advances in 5G networking and edge processing. Similarly, Markets and Markets forecast a CAGR of 55.9% for the commercial drone services market, growing from $4.4 billion in 2018 to $63.6 billion by 2025. It noted increasing development of industry-specific applications such as inspection and delivery, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region. “We're not just selling the data or the hardware,” said Rabkin. “There's an opportunity to make the business model sensitive to the financial model. For example, if you charge per inspection, the value of the inspection has to have a higher rate 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,…

…systems like what we delivered to MassTLC and Verizon's 5G lab.” “How fast we move depends on how fast demand grows,” he added. “We're sticking with off-the-shelf components, but if we make enough robots that it makes sense to switch power supplies or retune controllers, we can do that, and the performance won't change. That gives us a huge advantage, and we can make substantive improvements for expense.” “Even just seven degrees of freedom and omnidirectional capability alone would be enough, let alone power and cost,” Walker claimed. “This joins Waypoint's MAV3K heavy AMR, Kingpin top module, and AI camera.”…

…a repeater,” he added. “Like automotive companies, we want 5G to improve safety and autonomy, but it's not there yet in the U.S. Carriers are investing in the big cities, but not in rural areas where many distribution centers are. Some companies themselves are looking to invest in small cells like those Qualcomm makes.” Markets and plans How has the market responded to SIERA.AI's AMRs and ADAS applied to lift trucks? “The demand in e-commerce means that 50% of the labor force churns every six weeks,” Agarwal said. “Logistics vehicle demand is at 2030 levels with infrastructure that's at 2010…

…like our sort facilties and outdoor settings,” he added. “5G will help navigation systems that get blinded in the transitions between nodes. We're starting to see sensors coming down in price, so we can put them in things smaller than autonomous cars. This is also useful for unloading airplanes—people don't know how much cargo moved on passenger planes during the pandemic.” FedEx is also looking at automating the loading and unloading of containers to address labor shortages. “Today, we have over 1,000 people on ramps in Memphis offloading airplanes in severe weather,” Prather said. “If there's a lightning strike, we…

…wide operating temperature range of -40 to 55°C (-40 to 70°C without the GPU), anti-shock and vibration resistance of 50G/5G, wide-range voltage input of 9 to 48 VDC, over-voltage protection, over-current protection, and ESD protection, the company notes. The thermal design and discrete cooling systems for the CPU and GPU maximize heat dissipation efficiency. An external fan kit provides additional active airflow to aid in heat dissipation in low airflow environments or under heavy computing loads. The Cincoze GM-1000 can be configured with a wide range of storage, memory options, and OS options, including Windows and Linux. The system is…

…approach offers improved performance at high frequencies, especially for 5G and mmWave applications. Optomec’s Aerosol Jet HD2 targets the existing $4 Billion market for back-end semiconductor packaging and assembly equipment. The Aerosol Jet solution works by precision jetting or “printing” an extremely fine mist of nanoparticle-based inks onto a surface. The HD2 can print features as narrow as 10 microns with placement accuracy under 5 microns. The nanoparticles are then sintered together, forming a solid metal conductor of copper, gold or silver. Insulating and adhesive materials can also be applied by the Aerosol Jet process with various integrated circuit packaging…

…connected field devices capable to transmitting data, betting on 5G connectivity to offer more capabilities. Bringing Xilinx onboard lets AMD secure a position in the markets for edge devices and data center components. With similar foresights, CPU maker Intel acquired programmable field-device maker Altera five years ago. The transaction gave birth to the Intel Programmable Solutions Group. “I'm not big on M&A (merger and acquisition). We don't do M&A for M&A's sake, but this is such a unique opportunity,” said AMD's Lisa Su on a call with the investors this morning. “There actually is no better match for us in…
