…Emelyanov. “The first is a video camera. An artificial neural network with some post-processing algorithms builds up a dynamic picture of the general surroundings, providing a trajectory for vehicle motion.” “We also focus on radar because of several challenges,” he said. “There's quite a debate over lidar versus radar, but agricultural machinery operates in harsh conditions, with dust, hay, and earth. They could significantly decrease visibility.” “Another challenge is the changing landscape,” Emelyanov added. “To understand highlands and evaluate the geometry of the path quite precisely, it's necessary to provide distances with a high grade of reliability at twilight or…

…this, they’re using AWS technologies such as AI for neural networks and computer vision, data streaming, storage and analytics from the edge to the cloud. But how do we make this technology “just work” for the people who are operating or working alongside the robots? One of the key behind-the-scenes components is what the Amazon Robotics team calls “comprehensive device management,” or CDM. It’s the underpinning of how Amazon Robotics and its many development teams are able to rapidly grow, monitor and manage their fleets at scale. And rather than the sometimes flashy and most talked about technologies, it’s back-end…

…more complex robotic tasks RIOS’s AI software uses artificial neural network technology that mimics how brains function in determining how to grasp and handle items, Smith explained. “Such techniques are required given the complexity and challenge of piece-picking use cases, which can include high SKU variation, changing environmental and visual conditions, difficult visual properties involved with certain SKUs, fast cycle times, and precision and accuracy requirements.” In addition, RIOS offers hybrid-cloud software for real-time monitoring of cell performance, such as count statistics, while offering application programming interfaces (APIs) for integration to WMS. RIOS partners with FANUC for articulating robotic arms,…
