…company specializing in smart remotes and predictive systems for elevators. It did not share, however, how much it was investing. Bear Robotics announced its elevator delivery robot, the Servi Lift, last year. The robot was designed to complete last-mile deliveries inside multi-story buildings such as hotels, senior living communities, ghost kitchens, hospitals, corporate campuses, and other high-rise commercial and residential real estate properties, the Redwood City, Calif.-based company said. Bear noted that 100 trials are reserved for 2023 and broader rollouts are planned for 2024. It's betting on M2M Tech primarily because of its open and interoperable platform named ELSA…

…of robots, and other automated agents like doors or elevators within a warehouse or distribution center, added GreyOrange. Founded in 2012, GreyOrange said its GreyMatter hardware-agnostic orchestration platform responds to customer orders in real time, as well as proprietary and certified third-party software. The Roswell, Ga.-based company said it employees more than 800 people and has offices and partners across the Americas, Europe, and Asia. Gartner finds orchestration in growing demand “As a company’s fleet of robots grows, simple point-to-point API [application programming interface] integration will not be enough,” said the Gartner report, “Predicts 2023: Supply Chain Technology.” It was…

…material to a production line, interact with doors and elevators, or sweep the floor on a fixed schedule, missions can drive the behavior of robots, said the company. Users can track mission performance and key performance indicators (KPIs) consistently and optimize them to maximize the potential of a wide range of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), noted InOrbit. With real-time operational data and analytics, customers can derive deep insights and drive continuous optimization across automation vendors, the company said. In addition, InOrbit supports emerging interoperability standards such as the MassRobotics Interoperability Standard, VDA 5050, and Open-RMF, as well as proprietary fleet…

…robotics said its AMRs can operate on damaged floors, changing surroundings, high traffic, liquid spills, slopes, narrow spaces, and elevators, the company said. THiRA Robotics said South Korea’s investment in automation has helped make it an established AMR maker. “At the National Cancer Center, the #1 clinical research center in Korea, our AMRs augmented hospital staff and piloted 24/7 patient and nurse-assistance services. We streamlined factory processes for cosmetics conglomerate AmorePacific, where split warehousing and manufacturing facilities with complex traffic and high order volume slowed production,” Kim said. THiRA Robotics will be at booth #N6054. For more on ProMat, visit…

…each floor. The mobile robot can also communicate with elevators to patrol multiple floors. Using autonomous robots for security offers several advantages. For example, surveillance cameras are often used for building security. However, such cameras can have blind spots, and setting up additional cameras takes cost and time. In contrast, the SQ-2 robot can patrols an entire building by taking an elevator, and security guards can choose routes that reduce or eliminate blind spots. In addition, the presence of a physical robot can deter crimes like shoplifting and reduce the need for human guards. SQ-2 has already been deployed in…

…of the reconstruction process, Davis explained. That includes installing elevators that work well with the robots and putting actuators on doors so the robots can open them. He added that robots are a good fit for the company as it redesigns its spaces to be more “open and frictionless.” Robots help address labor challenges, but humans still essential Davis brought up concerns about labor shortages, noting that the company has struggled to find enough human workers to work security jobs. By bringing in the robots, the company said it is not only addressing that issue but has also been able…

Cubot has already been used to complete orders at 7-Eleven stores in Taiwan as part of the connivence store’s automated delivery service, foodmo. A national library in Taiwan is also using Cubot to automate book returns. To allow for multiple Cubots in the same area to communicate with one another, ITRI said it developed its own management platform. It also has given companies access to its APIs.

…Rolling Hills Hotel by itself by communicating directly with elevators. Hyundai said its deep learning-based algorithms enable robots to recognize people. By adding the autonomous driving capability, the PnD-based robot can find the optimal route within the area to deliver packages to recipients, according to Hyundai. The system can recognize and avoid fixed and moving objects and drive smoothly, delivering food, drinks, and amenities as quickly as human staffers, it said. (See video below.) Based on how the hotel project goes, Hyundai plans to expand the usage and operating hours, as well as the number of robots. The company also…
