…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…

…visualize that, we could combine it with the actual delivery simulator.” “While there are many augmented and virtual reality [AR and VR] systems, they're cartoonish, and there's no interaction between the learner and the simulated patient,” he said. “We thought about how could we merge the virtual and real world. 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…

…a wide range of sectors, including food preparation, serving, delivery, surgery, security, architecture, and even military applications. The share of service robotics in the domestic robot market grew by 12%, and the share of individual service robots increased by 16% in 2020. These service robots are equipped with advanced AI and autonomous driving technologies, enabling them to navigate obstacles and people effectively. Since 2008, the South Korean government has been systematically laying the groundwork for robotics advancement through successive plans under the Intelligent Robot Development and Distribution Promotion Act. The most recent Third Basic Plan, spanning from 2019 to 2023,…

…and to build out their continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) testing and verification infrastructure. And of course, with over 1 million developers, 6,000+ customers, and 150 ecosystem partners worldwide, we’re continuing to build momentum behind the NVIDIA Jetson platform. We're launching a full range of Orin-based developer kits and production modules for companies to scale their edge AI and robotics applications. Looking ahead, where do you think robotics applications will grow the most? Andrews: From an application area, I am really excited to see the continued growth and innovation of robotics technology in the agtech industry. What better problem…

…company said its robots are used for different drug delivery formats and to perform fill-finish, labeling, quality assurance testing, and inspection tasks. A TX2-60 Stericlean robot paired with an Asyril flexible feeding platform picked and placed medical device components. The Asyril uses AI-based vision to locate acceptable parts and transmit their pick coordinates to the robot. A second demonstration featured the TX2-60L, an ISO 14644-1 Class 2 cleanroom robot with hand-guided functionality for use in delicate procedures. Staubli launched the Stericlean+ line in 2022 and said it has a new fully hygienic design and coating for higher performance in sensitive…

…pandemic, as well as high demand from consumers. Home delivery had become critical, and then there were shortages on the worker side. You'd think that supply chains and warehousing would already be automated, but at least 50% in the U.S. is largely manual. Coupled with e-commerce demand and worker shortages, you'll have serious problems. Our team saw during COVID that a lot of these companies have been investing heavily in automation. Now we have haptic sensors and companies like FANUC, Honeywell, Omron, and Yaskawa rolling out robotics. And there's more autonomous technology coupled with 5G, whose low latency can help…

Aerial Inventory Robots Unlike their highly publicized home delivery cousins, drones designed for warehouse uses have been flying under the radar. However, a high-profile board appointment to an indoor drone pioneer could mean aerial inventory robots are ready to come out of the shadows. In August, Chris Sultemeier, former executive vice president of logistics for Walmart, joined the board of warehouse drone pioneer PINC to help roll out the company's new technology. Read the Article: Former Walmart Executive Chris Sultemeier Joins Warehouse Drone Pioneer PINC “I’ve had the pleasure of knowing the PINC team for almost four years now,” Sultemeier…

…medical impact of something going wrong with a drug delivery device is an order of magnitude worse than a health device losing your jogging data.” The requirements of medical devices for traceability, approvals, testing and more “make the importance of the collaboration platform to be much more stringent,” he adds.
