…uses an automatic, automated, or autonomous unmanned ground vehicle (A-UGV) to move between locations, according to ASTM International. Such systems may be used for manufacturing applications including but not limited to assembling, processing, or prototyping large scale components, material handling, machine/conveyor tending, flexible manufacturing, and peg-in-hole insertion-type assembly. “Static/indexed performance encompasses situations in which the manipulator and A-UGV of a mobile manipulator shall not move simultaneously while physically connected as a single unit,” said ASTM International. It recently announced a standard, F3588-22, supporting UGVs. Users to verify mobile manipulator performance ASTM International member Omar Aboul-Enein noted that the proposed standard…

…startup has designed CivDot, an unmanned ground vehicle or UGV for civil engineering and infrastructure projects. The global construction market exceeded $10 trillion in 2020, with $3.4 trillion spent on large infrastructure projects, according to Oxford Economics. Over the next decade, $1.2 trillion will be spent on investments in roadways, renewable energy, and other large public works projects in the U.S. This is partly the result of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act passed nearly a year ago, noted Civ Robotics. The demand for surveyors today exceeds the supply of consultants ready to fill these jobs, driving the push to…

…drones, and the updated XAG R150 unmanned ground vehicle (UGV). XAG updates agricultural drones The company said its P100 and V50 drones have new designs and task systems. The XAG P100 inherits the classical quadrotor structure with a 40 kg (88.1 lb.) effective payload, while the V50 adopts XAG's dual tilt-wing design to meet the needs of different users based on the farm size. Both new drones have flying structures that can from task systems. This means that they can switch flexibly between the function of crop spraying, granule spreading, and field survey, said XAG.
