…the most popular class of models is represented by neural networks, thanks to their ability to generalize. Neural networks can adapt to new, previously unseen data and recognize objects that they have never seen before. This capability is widely used in applications that require the recognition and handling of items that differ in shape, size, color, or material. Examples include automated picking of mixed objects from a bin, robotic unloading of pallets loaded with boxes of various shapes and sizes, and the singulation and sorting of all types of parcels. The benefit of classical neural networks is that they can…

…through energy-efficient motion planning (EEMP). Novel motion-planning techniques like neural networks or machine learning (ML) offer to significantly streamline the creation of motion-control algorithms. These new algorithms could be essential in operating factory robots safely and efficiently. AI for robotics motion planning Creating an effective motion-planning algorithm can be extremely complex, and to date, no one has arrived at one single answer to the problem. The rise of human-robot interactions can create additional problems for motion planning algorithms. For the growing number of collaborative robots to be safe, they need to take paths that won’t pose a risk to nearby…

…CEO of Autobrains. “The representation problem is solved with neural networks, and the second is the annotation problem.” “My background was in electrical engineering and deep learning,” he told Robotics 24/7. “Another founder came out of the neurobiology lab. We realized that using a neural network as a classifier is not the right approach. Once you do that, you already limit something predefined by labels, even if you want to eventually classify and recognize.” Autobrains maps raw, unlabeled data onto high-dimensional and compressed signatures generated by a low-compute neural architecture. “Taking visual inputs and remembering the presentation of items in…
