…cobots, and technological developments inculding machine vision, and AI navigation. In 1982, RIA separated from SME, changing its name to the Robotic Industries Association. In 1984, RIA began publishing industrial robot sales statistics. In 1986, RIA published Robot Safety Standard (R15.06), putting RIA on the map for safety and standards. RIA’s headquarters then moved to Ann Arbor in 1986. The company added support for other automation technologies along with AIA-Advancing Vision and the Imaging and Motion Control and Motors Association (MCMA). All three associations remained separate until 2021, when the RIA, AIA, MCMA, as well as A3 Mexico merged, adding…

…enhancing the object detection capabilities of autonomous vehicles, making navigation through traffic smoother and safer,” explains Professor Jeon. Their paper was made available online on October 17, 2022, and published in Volume 24, Issue 11 of the journal IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transport Systems on November 2023. The proposed system is built on the YOLOv3 (You Only Look Once) deep learning object detection technique, which is the most active state-of-the-art technique available for 2D visual detection. The researchers first used this new model for 2D object detection and then modified the YOLOv3 technique to detect 3D objects. Using both point…

…move through Amazon facilities using advanced safety, perception, and navigation technology developed by Amazon. Amazon’s SAT1 fulfillment center in San Antonio, Texas, is the first to deploy Titan in its operations. The facility launched in 2013 to process larger, bulkier items, and the use of this new technology will help modernize the site, supporting both workplace safety and efficiency. Amazon envisions many possibilities for Titan’s rise going forward, including with containerized storage solutions like Sequoia where it could transport inventory across the storage floor and bring it directly to employees. Mobile robots like Titan work collaboratively with other robotics systems…
