…than a dozen robotics research papers at this year's IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, or ICRA, which will be held in London from May 29 to June 2. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) will recognize one of the company's papers, titled “Geometric Fabrics: Generalizing Classical Mechanics to Capture the Physics of Behavior,” with an IEEE Best Paper award at ICRA. Papers examine training robots in simulation to work in reality Many of this year’s submissions demonstrate robotics capabilities trained in simulation that were then shown to work in the real world, noted NVIDIA. Members of…

…have one more week to submit applications for the IEEE Entrepreneurship Impact Award. The award will recognize an individual who has made “significant” contributions to the engineering and entrepreneurial ecosystem of a country or region, said the association. Nominations are due Aug. 31, 2022. “I'd like to see a robotics entrepreneur win,” noted Andra Keay, managing director of Silicon Valley Robotics (SVR). She is also industrial activities president for the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society (IEEE RAS), as well as entrepreneurship deep tech lead at IEEE. IEEE, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, is a Piscataway, N.J.-based professional association…

…held by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in Philadelphia. The NVIDIA Robotics Research Lab plans to present papers on how robot skills can be learned in NVIDIA Isaac Sim photorealistics, physics-accurate simulation and then transferred to real systems and environments, or Sim2Real. It will also discuss how accurate localization can improve autonomous vehicle and indoor navigation, as well as the use of AI and pose estimation for robotics development. NVIDIA will also present on how service robots can reliably manipulate deformable objects, such as sponges, mops, or bedding, in warehouses or hospitals. It will describe how systems…

…from other sensors in a congested driving environment, said Tower. The research for this was documented in the 2021 IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference Digest of Technical Papers. In addition to the mutual work done with Tower Semiconductor, this research at USC was partially supported by Toyota Central R&D Corporation (TCRDL), Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology (SAIT), and the USC Pratt and Whitney Institute for Collaborative Engineering (PWICE at USC).

…Murphy is an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) fellow, and director of the Humanitarian Robotics and AI Laboratory. She has spoken about the role of robotics in responding to emergencies and infectious diseases, as well as the importance of human-machine interaction. Economic incentive needed for development “While many drones are being used by firefighters and law enforcement, there's not a lot of economic incentive to develop the ground robots for emergency management,” Murphy told Robotics 24/7. “A drone can cost $1,000 to $3,000 and do everything it needs to, but the minimum…

…of Electrical and Electronics Engineers' Robotics and Automation Society (IEEE/RAS) and the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) jointly sponsor the award, which is intended to promote stronger collaboration between science and industry in robotics. ABB PixelPaint saves paint, time In the past, 20% to 30% percent of the paint applied to vehicles was wasted because of overspray. By contrast, the inkjet head of PixelPaint applies 100% of the paint to the vehicle surface, according to ABB Robotics. In addition, PixelPaint's two high-precision robots eliminate the process of masking and de-masking each car, helping to reduce bottlenecks, it said. Previously, applying…

…Standardization (ISO), the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and the Robotic Industries Association (RIA, part of the Association for Advancing Automation or A3). In addition, the AMR Interoperability Working Group noted that hardware changes, such as sharing chargers among robots produced by different vendors, and defining interoperability for other types of robots, such as arms, were beyond its initial scope. Other groups, such as A3 or the Advanced Robotics for Manufacturing (ARM) Institute, are working on other aspects of interoperability, said Ryden. After some discussion, the MassRobotics group decided to initially focus on basic robot-to-robot information sharing rather…

…Acharya, Matthews and Fischbeck published their recent study in IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems. Their new method entails sending data directly from the vehicle to a cloud server managed by the state or county within which the driver lives, eliminating the need for them to come in for regular inspections. Instead, the data would be run through machine learning algorithms that identify trends in the data and codes prevalent among over-emitting vehicles. This means that most drivers would never need to report to an inspection site unless their vehicle’s data indicates that it’s likely over-emitting, at which point they…
