…of 5.9%, predicted Research and Markets. This past week, MIT noted that new catalysts could break down plastics for reuse, but first, items must be collected and sorted. Robotics and machine learning are helping to sort plastics faster and more efficiently than ever before. Is robotic sorting the answer? Manual processing of waste is dull, dirty, and dangerous, making it ideal for automation. Several companies have developed robots to help with the process. For example, ABB Robotics has demonstrated a workcell with its IRB 1200 industrial system and YuMi collaborative robot that can identify and sort different types of plastics.…

…at Google Robotics, Google X, Carnegie Mellon, General Dynamics, MIT, Georgia Tech, and KUKA. The startup said its systems are running around the clock across dozens of customer sites today. DHL Supply Chain proves value Fox Robotics said it retrofits standard forklifts with sensors and software for autonomous material handling operations with precise navigation and robust pallet picking and movement. Deep learning systems use onboard cameras and lidar sensors to detect pallets, boxes, and other obstacles in real time. The intelligent systems also enable the forklift to pick pallets out of trailers it is seeing for the first time, said…

…the Harvard Biorobotics Lab, the Yale GRAB Lab, and MIT with the intention of applying computer vision and machine learning to real-world grasping problems. “We relaunched our site in January,” noted Vince Martinelli, head of product and marketing at RightHand Robotics. “It now has a stronger product focus to serve our customers. We're also partnering with companies such as SVT Robotics on software.” “The pandemic accelerated the shift from the older model of shoppers picking items to remote fulfillment centers and has put pressure on retail productivity,” he told Robotics 24/7. “Everyone is adapting and reacting. There have been big…

…unable to complete laps because of actuation problems. The MIT-PITT-RW team suffered a crash, and the AI Racing Tech team from University of Hawai'i's car spun out into grass and had to be towed away. TUM takes shootout After a 131.148 average speed during the first round, the top three teams participated in the “shootout.” After hitting 158 mph in its practice raps, PoliMOVE experienced a crash in the first turn. The captain of the team said that its autonomous racecar lost its main GPS sensor and then its backup one at 123.45 mph. After the German TUM team's run…

…slow to become part of what Jim Rice at MIT calls “the dominant design” - just another tool in the tool kit. I’m going to go out on a limb, but I’m now convinced that robotic materials handling is at a tipping point in materials handling, and it feels as if the adoption rate is about to take off. Over the last two years, we’ve featured a variety of robotic applications, ranging from piece picking robotics at an eye wear manufacturer; mixed layer palletizing at L’Oreal; mobile robots in manufacturing at GE Healthcare and Whirlpool; a piece picking robot in…

…into a language a computer can understand. Researchers at MIT are already hard at work on developing what’s being called brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). They’re even claiming they’ve been able to achieve up to 20% robotic performance improvement by enabling robots to adapt to users’ thought commands. While these claims feel more like something from a Sci-Fi movie, it’s nice to know that even if a robot can’t read your mind, it can still improve workplace productivity by working collaboratively with laborers rather than working against them.
