…robotic products increasingly more intuitive. This includes the intelligent programming paradigms found within its robot control software. For example, the new Comau Open Controller enables external PCs to seamlessly control Comau robots. This means that companies, universities and research centers can now implement proprietary motion strategies and algorithms to control the robot rather than relying on pre-configured path management sequences. Similarly, Comau’s Roboshop Next Gen is an intuitive, PC-based programming tool that allows customers to program a robot and graphically optimize its path before online deployment. Sustainability, both in terms of energy and consumption efficiency as well as general well-being,…

…to sort waste themselves.” Grasping randomly oriented objects without pre-programming Building on the company’s proprietary AnyGrasp machine-learning algorithm, Flexiv said Rizon is able to pick up practically any object in any orientation without pre-programming. This ability to deal with randomly-oriented objects served as the base on which Flexiv built its recycling station. Flexiv’s recycling station couples its recently-released Grav Enhanced gripper, which is capable of lifting almost any item weighing up to 5kg (11 pounds), with its new-to-market Grav Enhanced Automated Cleaning Station. The company added creating a recycling application with Rizon was a natural progression that was able to…
