…used to aid in assembly, pick-and-place tasks, collection and delivery services, and mobile applications. “Our goal is to make low-cost automation as accessible as possible,” Mühlens said. “We have customers that are as diverse as their applications. Some are just looking for compatible hardware and do the rest of the integration journey by themselves. And some users need help with the design. It’s exciting that affordable solutions allow anyone to start their automation journey.” Unique and diverse applications The cucumber harvester is certainly one of the most interesting applications for low-cost automation. There are, however, many others. In Bruges, Belgium,…

…including inbound to storage, finished goods takeaway, and lineside delivery, thanks to its ability to move payloads on pallets, racks, and bins. For brownfield facilities that are already tight and crowded, OTTO 1200 still maximizes productivity. It can even help those manufacturers convert one way aisles into two-way aisles. OTTO 1200 would also be a great fit where human and robot interaction is high. It is designed to deliver performance and safety, so manufacturers can expect to meet their throughput targets while ensuring that their people are safe. What were some of the technical challenges of developing this robot? How…

…towards integrated scalable, modular production cells, while optimizing the delivery of components across facilities. Ongoing developments in artificial intelligence are powering autonomous grasping and positioning, which will expand the range of tasks robots can perform. This greater use of AI in robotics helps with tasks like the picking of non-uniform objects, which is on prominent display at a Burrtec Waste Industries material recovery facility in Riverside, California. Here, vision- and AI-enabled ABB delta robots scan materials on waste stream conveyor, picking a variety of contaminants from the line that the robot has learned are not able to be recycled. At…

…include infrastructure inspection, energy, and utilities, as well as delivery robots, disaster recovery, and autonomous trucking, said Linnell. “I always thought of a robot operator as an odd job, but it's far more likely in 2022,” he said. “We're starting to see large companies starting to work with hardware from multiple vendors, such as an inspection drone followed by a quadruped robot. They're trying to combine data from aerial, terrestrial, and human sources into one piece of glass for informed decisions.” “Predictive maintenance is a huge use case for us, but the question when you get to IoT [the Internet…

It's not just augmenting, which is why we call it 'mixed reality.' With the HoloLens, users can see inside of VICTORIA and see cardinal movements of the baby in utero.” “Obstetricians can address all complications, such as the umbilical cord getting twisted or the baby's shoulder getting caught on the…

…to address demand for personalization of both products and delivery,” Guerry said. And no one we spoke with said anything different. “More and more companies are realizing the numerous advantages robotics provides their businesses,” Guerry said. That list ranges from faster, more accurate picking to reduced labor requirements. Both the labor shortage and a lack of interest in working in traditional warehouse settings play to the value of piece-picking robots. “New training opportunities with robotics are a win-win strategy for companies and employees alike,” explained Guerry. Looking specifically at piece-picking robots, people have great expectations for them in the distribution…
