At Peer Robotics headquarters in New Haven, Conn., CEO Rishabh Agarwal and his team are building mobile robots designed to understand human touch. Today, the three-year-old company announced it has raised $2.3 million in its seed round, which it said it will use to build out its fleet of robots in North America. Peer Robotics has two robot systems in its lineup—a trolley movement system, which includes an autonomous mobile robot (AMR) that carries payloads up to 100 kg (220 lb.), and a bin movement system, which includes an AMR that can carry payloads up to 250 kg (551 lb.).…

…helps satisfy this requirement within a working range of 1.5-3m. It works by positioning the camera in front of the dolly chassis The Visionary-T captures a 3D image and it pre-processes and evaluates the coordinates of the space under the dolly, before outputting that information to the vehicle controller. The SensorApp can provide automated fine positioning determination for a wide range of different dollies, but that’s not its only benefit. Some benefits of Dolly Positioning SensorApp include: Increases the efficiency of AGV in logistics Short process times for dolly pick-up Low maintenance effort due to stable app hardware combination Easy…

…so-called seventh axis. It is now moved up to 3m by toothed belt with the lubrication-free igus toothed belt axis ZLW-20160 – driven by the stepper motor NEMA23XL with a 5:1 gear. To enable a clean run without tangling, the energy and data cables are inserted in energy chains from igus, which follow the movement of the carriage. The control system of the robot arm is integrated into its base. The electric worker finally learns how to pick thanks to software developed by Roose, which interacts with the control system via an interface. The in-house program evaluates the robot’s 3D…

The Mohamed Bin Zayed International Robotics Challenge (MBZIRC) is offering more than $3 million (U.S.) in prize money to participating innovators developing marine safety and security systems. It will take place in Abu Dhabi, capital of the United Arab Emirates, in June 2023. ASPIRE, the dedicated technology program management pillar of the the UAE's Advanced Technology Research Council (ATRC), holds the MBZIRC every two years. The MBZIRC Maritime Grand Challenge will involve both aerial drones and maritime systems. “We are proud that MBZIRC is going global by inviting the best talent from all over the world to participate,” stated H.E.…

…Form Automation Lead: Boeing Partners: University of Southern California, 3M Co. Description: To ensure the affordability of defense and commercial high-temperature structures, cost-effective means of fabricating high-quality, temperature-resistant material components at faster manufacturing rates is essential. The project team plans to develop automated trajectory planning for forming fabric-based prepregs to contours, automated in-process inspection for un-compacted areas and automated generation of rework tool paths, and self-corrective robotic recovery for prepreg backing film-removal failures. Safe Robotic Handling of Energetic Materials Lead: Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Partners: Schlumberger, Interface Technologies, FANUC Description: The project team aims to develop fundamental technologies for robotic handling…

…Investigator: Boeing Project Team: University of Southern California and 3M Project Description: This project seeks to develop adaptive path planning to ensure affordability of Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMC) components for hypersonic platforms, or an object that exceeds 5 the speed-of-sound (Mach 5 or greater). The project also seeks to integrate improvements to automated pick, place, and form for processing CMC fabric prepregs using 3D vision-based sensors to reduce the cost and variability for high-rate production of CMC structures. Benefits of this approach include having a cost-competitive alternative to titanium, higher processing efficiency, and applications for other materials and processes. Rapid…
