…light up if a cobot stops specifically for a PFL event. While Yaskawa’s default safety sensors are currently all touch-based, Caldwell said the logic circuitry allows for the addition of additional types, including vision sensors, area scanners, and light curtains. Caldwell said Yaskawa will be bringing its Motoman Next AI-enabled robot platform to market over the next year. The new generation of Motoman Next models will feature integrated cameras that, although not safety-rated, allow Yaskawa’s cobots to expand their environmental awareness.

…navigate the world. Through sight, smell, sound, taste, and touch, people explore their surroundings, and these senses work together to help create a complete picture of our environment. How does an autonomous vehicle (AV) create a picture of the world? Similar to a human, an AV uses its sensors to perceive its surroundings, and based on that data, it makes decisions. While each sensor serves an important function, the collective input – or sensor fusion – is what makes the system work safely, noted the event organizers. Registration is open, and attendees can submit questions about robotic navigation. About Point…
