The ifm Obstacle Detection System (ODS) optimizes the robot's overall performance by treating obstacle detection as a holistic system rather than just a camera. It provides reliable obstacle detection to protect people, equipment, and mobile robots.
Bedrock is taking advantage of the dramatic accessibility of GPUs and frameworks for scaled data access and training, combining it with our unique understanding of how to build and create autonomy solutions quickly and efficiently.
The International Robotic Safety Conference highlighted how rapidly the safety environment is evolving, driven by new standards that reflect innovative robotics technologies and tightening global regulations.
Although collaborative robots have become widely available and used in numerous industries, the professionals who design them frequently encounter and must overcome various challenges in cobot design. How should designers address them?
The required solution would need to provide seamless connectivity and communication with the RoboDrill machines, as well as additional factory machinery throughout the company targeted for robotic automation moving forward.
With their application, the team at Robotecki not only reduced labor-dependency for these key tasks, they improved the quality of production and throughput.
The real driver of change has been the need to reduce manual intervention and lower operational costs. When a robot can charge itself safely and autonomously, maintenance downtime drops dramatically, and so does total cost of ownership.
This enables, for instance, intelligent robots and drones that can operate independently in a rescue mission after an earthquake without constant network connections or bulky batteries.
The ANYmal robot addresses key challenges in industrial operations by offering autonomous, highly mobile inspection capabilities in complex and hazardous environments. Its four-legged design enables navigation through uneven terrains, stairs, and confined spaces.
While robotics have been a staple in the automotive manufacturing industry for decades, the applications have now spread far beyond, reshaping industries from agriculture to healthcare and service industries.
Wheeled robots like ours are more efficient for the same reason cycling is more efficient than running, which includes less of a fight with gravity. The efficiency, as well as the sheer complexity of humanoid robots adds up to something that may be very much higher cost.
AI and robotics are seen to deeply disturb specialized industry sectors, bringing beneficial pioneering modernizations in machining, industrial manufacturing and machine shops. Elitsa Krumova explores the future of machining in more depth on behalf of DELMIA.
Depth perception helps mimic natural spatial awareness by determining how far or close objects are, which makes it invaluable for 3D imaging systems. Get expert insights on how depth perception works, the cues involved, as well as the various types of depth sensing cameras.
Compared to alternative solutions, such as multiple robots or overhead gantry systems, StackTrax can provide a space and cost-saving alternative that will improve cycle time and overall throughput.
This is not just a vibes-based assessment: in May, the U.S. reported around 332,000 open jobs in transportation, warehousing, and utilities, plus another 400,000 in manufacturing. Wages are up, benefits are better, yet demand still outpaces supply.
