…presented to it. Clinton Smith, chief technology officer at RIOS, a provider of AI-powered robotic piece picking solutions, explained that while RIOS designs its own end effectors or grippers, AI-based software gives the hardware the needed intelligence to know how to grasp and manipulate items. In practice, robotics piece-picking solutions call for a combination of software, hardware and engineering capabilities from the provider. Smith: “I would say that hardware and software are equally important—one can’t function without the other.” Cloud technologies enable more complex robotic tasks RIOS’s AI software uses artificial neural network technology that mimics how brains function in…
