…commercial cleaning robots, and domestic vacuum-cleaning robots where low latency, low power consumption, and high reliability are critical. About PAL PAL provides 360° horizontal field of view with 110° vertical field of view at up to 9 megapixels with a usable depth range of 10 meters (30 ft.) and no minimum depth distance. DreamVu said it can generate an entire…

…microscopes—can only operate in a vacuum. That’s a problem because in a vacuum the liquid in each chamber evaporates instead of forming a gel. Kolmakov and his colleagues at NIST and at the Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste in Italy, solved the issue and demonstrated 3D gel printing in liquids by placing an ultrathin barrier—a thin sheet of silicon nitride—between the vacuum…

…fused, void-free structures that sustain vacuum in a pressured autoclave at elevated temperatures without the need for add-on coatings, says Dennis Palmer, the company’s vice president of sales. Though the technology has greatly improved the integrity and quality of large-scale AM parts, many potential customers remain skeptical. “They are gun shy and now we have to prove that our prints…

…to improve our lives. Robotic vacuum cleaners allow us to put our feet up instead of manually cleaning floors, and personal assistants in our smartphones mean we don’t even have to move our thumbs to make a command. We are accepting robotics and artificial intelligence into our lives more and more, because it makes things easier. Warehouses should be adopting…

…also a hot topic. Robot vacuum cleaners have been around for a while now, but only recently are they becoming widely available and cost efficient for the general public. These smart robo-vacs come with the ability to be programmed to spring to life at a certain time every day. With proximity sensors and edge detection, this piece of technology is…

…palletizing stations might feature a vacuum assist, slide rails around the station, or the ability to accommodate one or two workers to manage rates. Plenty of operations rely on double or triple pallet jacks in aisles. It’s a conventional way of batch picking mixed pallets, but Khodl says it’s hard to scale up. The next level is an integrated unit…

…New York, who made a vacuum engine. “In general, we look for high quality, original parts that haven’t been made before or parts that are familiar yet feature a unique, new design. We like eye-catching designs that would look nice on display because we do show them off at trade shows in a special case. We get many comments on…

…can’t be done in a vacuum. Related tasks and processes must be considered when adding or removing equipment. “When times are good, costs aren’t as scrutinized as when things cool down,” says Paramore. “That’s when they start looking into detail to improve the model and cut costs. Telematics is independent of the economy. Without telematics, you’re operating with a blindfold,…

…can recognize that although the vacuum successfully engaged, it was not a successful pick. Once an individual robot learns this, it can wirelessly transmit the lesson to other robots in the facility or anywhere in the world. In this way, the software can continuously grow a database of successful gripping techniques. Ross Halket, executive director of automated system design sales…
