…intelligence and Tennant's floor-cleaning robots to combine autonomy and ease of use with existing equipment, said the companies. The new towers will be fitted to almost 600 robots, making them among the first multifunction systems, said Brain Corp. Once installed on a scrubber, the cloud-connected Inventory Scan tower can capture data as it moves autonomously around a club store, acording to the companies. The tower will send reports to managers providing numerous insights including verification of pricing accuracy, planogram compliance, product stock levels, and product localization. Each function negates the need for time consuming and manual processes, reducing waste and…

…comparison with conventional procedures. Source: Stereotaxis Genesis offers flexibility, ease of use Stereotaxis claimed that its Robotic Magnetic Navigation (RMN) technology can improve precision and safety. The St. Louis, Mo.-based company said RMN has been used to treat more than 140,000 patients around the world. The Genesis RMN system consists of two robotically controlled magnets, a flexible catheter with a magnetic tip, and an operating console. Instead of internal cables, which add bulk to the catheter, Stereotaxis' system uses magnetic fields to steer its tip. This allows the catheter to be lighter and more flexible, reducing the risk of perforation,…

…of 45.3%. Source: Grand View Research Atalante designed for ease of use In 2019, Wandercraft began commercializing its technology as Atlante, which is now used in rehabilitation hospitals to help stroke and spinal cord injury patients relearn gait. The self-balanced exoskeleton has received CE certification in Europe. Atalante is designed to emulate human walking with 12 actuated degrees of freedom and dynamic algorithms. Wandercraft said its wearable device can help gait training through repetitive motion and is hands-free, allowing wearers to conduct daily tasks. Atalante's user interface is designed to minimize setup and training time for therapists and patients, allowing…

…globe, thanks to cloud-based deployment, according to Cogniteam. Nimbus’ ease of use means that basic programming could be accomplished with minimal experience, the company said. Nimbus can cut development time, not only for large enterprises, but also for any organization that wants to develop a quick prototype to better understand the business implications of a potential product. As more customers move to Nimbus to take advantage of their NVIDIA integrations, they can simulate tests for the robots in various environments. Once deployed, teams can remotely update drivers and firmware, using a single platform to deploy a scalable fleet of useful…

…This week, we look at some predictions for 2022. Ease of use, sensing to improve What robotics capabilities do you expect to improve in the coming year? Susanne Bieller, IFR Bieller: Two trends are expected: more ease of use and improvements in sense and respond. We will see the large robot suppliers tackle both these topics, as well as some dedicated companies developing solutions as add-ons. There is a clear market need for easy-to-program and easy-to-teach robots. The potential of this capability to open up a variety of new applications and customers is huge. The trend will be in 2022…

…faster with the continued improvements in the areas of ease of use and ease of installation. Teele: Two factors are limiting automation – the lack of skilled labor, and the lack of flexibility in customization of robotic activities. Very large logistics companies can afford to hire and train staff, and have robots perform static roles. Small and medium-size warehouses struggle with finding skilled staff, and need robots that are more easily re-programmable for different tasks. But there are companies, many within our own consortium, that are working to solve both of these challenges, so we expect to see more solutions…
