…presented a major challenge for both medical researchers and governments, as both seek ways to limit its spread, noted ABB. Although numerous vaccinations have been developed, the rapid mutation of the virus makes finding the most effective protection against each variant more challenging, it said. “The aim of the automated neutralizing antibody test is to specifically detect a SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibody without cross-reaction with other infection, making this assay a gold standard for COVID-19 serological testing,” said ABB. “The resulting data will then be used both by the person being tested and by researchers to better understand immunity from vaccination…

…capabilities and sustainability policies. Thanks to consumer expectations and government initiatives, the future of transportation is non-reliant on fossil fuels. With conventional methods of EV charging, a charger is occupied until a driver physically removes that plug from the vehicle. The charger is then only accessible for another EV if the first vehicle has moved. However, with the right robotic parking design, many more EVs can be charged with a single charger due to the robot's ability to move EVs to and from charging positions within the RPS. If an RPS is integrated with an automated EV charging system that…

…clients around the world in logistics, mining, agriculture, automotive, government, and manufacturing industries. The company provides remote control, teleoperation, and fully automated industrial vehicles and tests them at its 100-acre proving ground in northern Utah. ASI Logistics uses lidar, VAK to back up trucks ASI Logistics said it used its “robust” and “state-of-the-art” Vehicle Automation Kit (VAK) and SICK’s lidar sensors to overcome this challenge. Inside the VAK is the truck’s Vehicle Control Unit (VCU). The VCU commands all the truck’s functions when the truck is in autonomous mode. The VCU relies on quality data transmitted from sensors to autonomously…
