…and head of sales and support with ROEQ. At Mujin, which was demonstrating robotic case palletizing and depalletizing at Automate, the platform approach is key to the company’s value add, in that warehouse systems integrators don’t need to cobble together solutions elements like articulating arms, vision, or mobile robots to move pallets. “The overall theme for us is showcasing our robotics platform and how it simplifies solutions delivery for our integrator partners,” said Josh Cloer, director of sales at Mujin. “If you were to do this in the traditional way, taking an industrial robot from one leading provider, and vision…

…and more accurate, with less AI overhead. CapSen Robotics, Mujin, and Soft Robotics provided some examples. Most of the collaborative robot suppliers showed welding cells, with Universal Robots leading the way with its first cobot TIG welding and spot welding applications with partners THG Automation and Pro Spot, respectively (see video below). Kane Robotics and FerRobotics used a UR cobot to demonstrate grinding and surface finishing (see photo, top right). Affordability and ease of use were important, as igus demonstrated with its low-cost automation line at Automate. The motion plastics supplier openly listed the prices for all its robots, components,…

…robotic trailer unloading – including Boston Dynamics, Dextrous Robotics, Mujin, and Pickle. It’s a hard problem, but it’s a multi-billion-dollar business if you can solve it. Dr. Bernard Casse, CEO, RIOS Boston Dynamics’ recent deal with DHL shows there’s money to be made. Another trend is multi-fleet robot orchestration. We’ve noticed the rise of autonomous mobile robots in warehouses, so now everyone is focusing on how to control their fleets instead of a single AMR. A bunch of companies is developing software to control fleets of AMRs where each has a different function, such as CoEvolution, InOrbit, GreyOrange, Locus Robotics,…

Mujin last week announced the launch of TruckBot, a robot designed to unload up to 1,000 cases per hour from trucks and shipping containers. The robot os making its debut at ProMat 2023 in Chicago. “TruckBot is a game-changer for warehouses looking to streamline their operations and reduce costs,” stated Ross Diankov, CEO of Mujin. “The dock door is the largest bottleneck in our supply chain, and unloading trailers is back-breaking work. TruckBot will improve safety and effectiveness for warehouses across the globe while unlocking the possibility for true fully-autonomous operations.” Mujin said it develops “machine intelligent” robot controllers that…

…making it a good task to automate, according to Mujin Corp. The company this month debuted its QuickBot robotic cell and said it includes everything needed for the case-handling application. “In today’s day and age, a lot is demanded of robot automation systems,” stated Ross Diankov, co-founder and CEO of Mujin. “They need to be highly reliable, have high throughput, and—of foremost importance—they need to deploy quickly, so that businesses can enjoy the return on investment from Day 1.” “With the arrival of QuickBot, you will be experiencing the start of a new revolution in the next several years, he…

…Josh Cloer, director of sales at robot software provider Mujin. “The situation has evolved into a matter of: ‘Can you do this work without automation?’” All of this makes the return on investment (ROI) less of a question and more of an urgent need. There has never been a better time to justify automated palletizing equipment. Overcoming palletizing challenges While plenty of progress has been made in making palletizing equipment more capable, the biggest challenge for fitting it into your processes remains the fact that it’s best suited for high-volume, low-mix operations. “It’s tougher if you have a high-mix, low-volume…

Mujin develops and sells “intelligent robot controllers,” designated as a common platform for industrial robots. Even though conventional automation is suitable for repetitive work, it was difficult to install in environments where products and the surroundings are liable to change. This was due to the robots’ operations differing by the manufacturer and the complex settings. Mujin, which has offices in the U.S., Japan, and China, said it has solved this problem using motion-planning technology. It provides robotics systems so factories and warehouses can automate heavy or simple work that previously had to be done manually.

…we saw vendors such as Addverb Technologies, Geek+, or Mujin showing off their robot portfolios. Or, we saw vendors like RightHand Robotics, HAI Robotics, or Tompkins Robotics demonstrating how all of their different robot types could work together. For instance, RightHand showed its robot picking not only from a tote to a tote, but also to a tote on someone else’s AMR and onto a Tompkins T-Sort. HAI Robotics demonstrated how its robot could be part of what Klappich describes as a heterogenous setup. Robot proliferation leads to management questions The shift from homogenous robot fleets to heterogenous environments raises…
