In a nutshell, by bringing artificial intelligence and around-the-clock activity, the robots will help optimize the yield of the farms far beyond what could humanly be possible. Maximizing the production while minimizing the costs in energy, water, time.
The BionicSoftHand is pneumatically operated, so that it can interact safely and directly with people. Unlike the human hand, the BionicSoftHand has no bones. Its fingers consist of flexible bellows structures with air chambers.
Today's society is one where people expect to buy things online and receive them speedily — often even the same day. The robotics sector has helped companies keep pace with those demands, forever reshaping what's possible in the retail fulfillment landscape.
Freedom to operate is vital and it takes on new meaning in the sphere of vehicle autonomy. To drive mass adoption of autonomy, you need to build vehicle software that enables any vehicle to operate in any environment, with zero dependence on external systems.
Robotic Industries Association (RIA) stats show continued growth in food & consumer goods, plastics & rubber, life sciences and other sectors, while sales to automotive customers slow
The industry’s first comprehensive Robot Integrator Program saves robot integrators significant time and cost investments by allowing them to mark each cell compliant with ANSI/RIA R15.06 with the TUV Rheinland Mark. As opposed to a traditional certification or an on-site field labeling, TÜV Rheinland’s Robot Integrator Program certifies the knowledge and skill-set of robot integrators in addition to testing robotic cells and processes against ANSI/RIA R15.06. This reduces the need for frequent onsite or off site testing and allows manufacturers to apply a single TÜV Rheinland label to multiple cells. The Robot Integrator Program individually assesses a robot integrator’s understanding of the ANSI/RIA R15.06 standard along with the ability to consistently produce compliant robot cells. Following the requirements and procedures of the new program will enable robot integrators to produce individually compliant robotic cells under one serialized TÜV Rheinland Mark, which meets the national electric code and allows acceptance by Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) and end users.
MIRAI learns by watching demonstrations: a human guides the robotic arm through various motions, MIRAI watches, generalizes and learns to solve the same task autonomously.
Precision motion systems always exhibit some amount of positioning inaccuracy (or position error) due to various factors. These errors can be measured using external measurement devices, such as a laser interferometer...
SCA refers to the Smart Compliant Actuator independently developed by INNFOS. SCA integrates the underlying servo driver, high-precision encoder, high-power brushless motor, and light-weight gear reducer. It is the very foundation of the XR-1 intelligent service robot.
Most professional service robots are semi-autonomous or fully autonomous robots that have some mobility and interact with people, usually in a retail, hospitality, healthcare, warehouse or fulfillment setting
The hour-long video panel discussion, titled “How Robotics Will Shape Our Future,” is the final episode of the Generation Robot series from Mouser’s award-winning Empowering Innovation Together™ program.
Every robot needs eyes to see, think, and do. Gocator® 3D smart sensors add powerful vision-guidance and inspection capability to industrial robots. You can use these sensors in a wide variety of factory automation applications. Pair them with scara, delta, and collaborative robots to create complete robotic solutions that deliver high-performance 3D results in vision-guidance, quality control inspection, and automated assembly with smart pick-and-place. Make your robot FactorySmart® with Gocator 3D smart sensors.
Both brushed and brushless DC motors can be operated as generators. However, there are some important points to consider when designing the drive.
When most think of sustainability in business, the concept of green processes is not always top of mind. However, incorporating technology, and more specifically robotics and cloud connected devices, creates a secondary sustainability effect that is markedly more streamlined
Duro® and Duro Inertial are enclosed dual-frequency RTK GNSS receivers. Designed and built to survive long-term, outdoor deployments, the easy-to-deploy Duro and Duro Inertial combine centimeter-accurate positioning with military ruggedness at a breakthrough price. Duro Inertial features an integrated IMU for continuous centimeter-accurate positioning in the harshest of outdoor deployments.
