Otto Group Works With Covariant to Apply AI Robotics to Its Logistics Network

Found in Robotics News & Content, with a score of 56.95

May 10, 2023

…it is entering into a long-term strategic partnership with Covariant to build a foundation for future growth. The Otto Group said it will use Covariant's artificial intelligence-powered robots to automate a wide range of manual fulfillment activities that require hand-eye coordination and object manipulation. “Logistics faces the challenge of being as cost-efficient as possible,” said Kay Schiebur, member of the executive board for services at the Otto Group, in a press release. “The use of a generalist AI allows us to rethink processes that were not possible before and provides an answer to the massive shortage of workers.” “In times…


ProMat 2023: Materials Handling Automation Reaches a Crossroad

…the goods-to-person picking space and perhaps RightHand Robotics and Covariant in the piece-picking space, which has been slow to get traction. Exotec appeared to be moving ahead with deals with companies like Gap Inc. We’re also beginning to see robots targeting tasks beyond robot-to-goods picking, such as trailer unloading and parcel induction. Those are great. But there are also signs that 2023 may be the long-awaited shakeout in the robotics industry, like the long-awaited recession in the economy. The most visible and public example is SoftBank’s announcement that it will take Berkshire Grey private, paying $1.40 a share for the…


Covariant Picks Up $75M in Series C to Continue to Deploy Its AI-Powered Robotic Picking System

Found in Robotics News & Content, with a score of 47.01

April 05, 2023

Covariant announced yesterday that it has raised $75 million in a recent Series C round. The Berkeley, Calif.-based robotic-picking company told Robotics 24/7 that the funding will be used to help it continue to deploy its systems to materials handling customers. “This is a very tough capital market to raise money, so our ability to raise a substantial amount of venture funding speaks to the traction, both in terms of technology and the commercial market, that we have created,” CEO Peter Chen said in an interview. Covariant deploys robotic picking systems that take advantage of the Covariant Brain, its proprietary…


Radial Inc. Installs Covariant Robotic Putwalls at Kentucky Fulfillment Center

Found in Robotics News & Content, with a score of 48.58

January 10, 2023

Radial Inc. has installed 12 Covariant Robotic Putwalls at its fulfillment center in Louisville, Ky. to sort health and beauty items. Each of the twelve robotic u-shaped putwalls average about one hundred thousand picks per month with a throughput of 425 pieces per hour (PPH) – a performance higher than their manual alternative, Covariant claimed. While working side-by-side with Radial’s staff, the autonomous robots can successfully pick 100% of the stock-keeping units (SKUs) at the Louisville fulfillment center, according to the Berkeley, Calif.-based company. The robots run on the company’s universal AI platform Covariant Brain, which has been pre-trained on…

…and repetitive tasks. They have not only transformed manufacturing, but they've also reached a fraction of their potential, noted Covariant. Incapable of thinking on their own, most robots can only do pre-programmed tasks in tightly-controlled environments. They can't understand, learn, or adapt, said the company, legally known as Emboided Intelligence Inc. Building on experience at Berkeley and OpenAI, the company's vision is the Covariant Brain: universal AI that allows robots to see, reason, and act on the world around them. It is bringing the Covariant Brain to commercial viability, starting with the industries that make, move, and store things in…

Anu Saha Head of product marketing Covariant Leading the product marketing efforts at Covariant, Anu Saha helps retailers and their logistics partners better understand how AI robotics can increase efficiency and reduce labor challenges in their intralogistics operations. He helps them discover how robots powered by the Covariant Brain can automate previously manual piece-picking operations in warehouses and fulfillment centers. Previously, Saha was involved in controls, automation, and robotics at National Instruments, where he helped with the adoption of graphical programming for academic research and STEM initiatives such as FIRST. He also helped establish product management and…

…up to 2.2 m/s (4.9 mph). ABB to demo Covariant Brain In addition, ABB said it plans to demonstrate the integration of its IRB 1300 robot arm with Covariant's artificial intelligence. “The growing demand for e-commerce fulfillment services and the complex, labor-intensive nature of the process offers unique potential for intelligent automation,” the company said. “While robots are ideally suited to repetitive tasks, until now, they lacked the intelligence to identify and handle tens of thousands of constantly changing products in a typical dynamic warehouse operation.” The Covariant Brain is designed to enable robots to perceive their environments and adapt…


Robotics’ Second Wave Relies on Software and Integration

…A3's AMR and Logistics Conference last month in Memphis. Covariant aids AI-based robots AI-based piece picking is still an advanced application for robots, making it difficult end-user organizations to compare them with established categories of materials handling automation, said Ted Stinson, chief operating officer at manipulation AI provider Covariant. After all, how does one determine if an AI-driven arm and gripper can actually handle the rapidly changing SKU mixes seen in modern e-commerce? Flashy presentations from a dozen or more vendors can’t really answer that question, Stinson said. “It’s a crowded and confusing marketplace, where trying to understand the capabilities…


Covariant Raises $80M Series C for Robotic Manipulation AI

…the 2020 Modex event, KNAPP announced a partnership with Covariant, an AI robotics technology vendor, to enhance KNAPP’s piece picking robot solution. The solution already is in use at several customer sites, including at Obeta, a German electrical supply wholesaler. Reader says that by employing AI, piece picking robots don’t have to be trained on each item, and can improve over time on how to grasp items. “Our solution is using an AI engine with deep learning to identify SKUs and adjust for how to best grip an item,” says Reader. “And, it’s learning so that the piece picking is…
