…developed its own proprietary software, which is compatible with nearly all lidar and 3D data sensors. The Seoul, South Korea-based company said its computer vision can increase accuracy and efficiency and ensure safety across a range of industries and applications. AEye said that 4Sight M performance in real time can be found at its site. It and Seoul Robotics will offer demonstrations at the Intetra booth, No. B5431, during the ITS World Congress next week in Hamburg, Germany.

…down the learning curve, followed by the U.S.,” replied Gershman. “We're also talking with one sensor player in South Korea and have just started to do road shows in Japan.” Other sectors interested in Owl's technology include agriculture and transportation. “Combine makers want them to run 24/7, but fields can be really dusty. Cameras and lidar don't work well in dust, and radar works but doesn't know where it is,” said Gershman. “Automotive wants military-grade performance and better-than-military reliability at no cost.” “Some robotaxi companies have already deployed test vehicles with Owl's HD thermal system,” he added.

…in Japan and are looking at Europe and South Korea. Most of our customers are already global entities. ForwardX is working with Walmart China, helping prepare orders for delivery within 42 hours. Post-COVID, we're seeing more “buy online, pick up in store,” shifting distribution. Some operators are looking to turn stores into large warehouses, increasing efficiency without increasing staff. We're expanding in the U.S. to address widespread labor shortages. What mobile robots has ForwardX displayed at recent trade shows? Guan: At ProMat, we showed three types of AMRs. The smaller Flex has capacity up to 661 lb. for piece picking.…

…market and our team trained at LG headquarters in Korea on how to repair the robots.” RobotLAB is supporting LG's CLOi ServeBot across the U.S. Source: Business Wire “As mobile devices, robots collect dirt—we call them 'Chewbacca' because they collect so much hair—and someone needs to clean them like a car, especially if they're serving food,” he added. “Sometimes we can replace sensors, motors, or joints on site; sometimes they go to the lab for a deeper repair.” How much software integration is necessary? “It depends on the type of service,” Inbar replied. “A robot serving food or bussing tables…

…sortation systems at its service centers in Singapore, South Korea, and Miami. “We started our robotics and loop-sorter programs well before COVID—there wasn't enough time to respond to volumes when the first pandemic surge hit,” noted Dohrmann. “We're also looking at trends in radar, IoT [the Internet of Things], and vision AI to reduce accidents.” Survey finds worker interest, hesitance on tech DHL recently surveyed 7,000 respondents, including 6,000 operations and office workers, and 1,000 incoming workers. It found that 9 in 10 believe that technology has been helpful in their roles in the past five years. However, more than…

…of Hyundai as a car company, but in South Korea, it's a manufacturing company, a logistics company, and a construction company,” Blankespoor said. “They've got a huge number of applications where they're excited to get robots more involved. In terms of future products that have more of a Hyundai influence, stay tuned.” In the meantime, Boston Dynamics is working with customers to start collecting key performance indicators (KPIs), improve Stretch's software, and expand production, he said. “I've been in Boston Dynamics for 18 years, and so many of the technologies that we've developed are folded into Stretch,” observed Blankespoor. “It…

…assistant professor in the Graduate School of AI at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST). “The core bottleneck in such problems is how to determine a high-level task plan such that there exists a low-level motion plan that realizes the high-level plan,” he wrote. “Typically, you have to oscillate between motion and task planning, which causes significant computational inefficiency. Zhutian's work tackles this by using learning to eliminate infeasible task plans, and is a step in a promising direction.” Yang wrote the paper with NVIDIA research scientist Caelan Garrett, SB ’15, MEng ’15, Ph.D. ’21; Tomás Lozano-Pérez and…

…was a strategic initiative for CJ Logistics, a South Korea-based 3PL with U.S. headquarters in Des Plaines, Ill. It wanted to automate as much non-value-added horizontal travel as possible in its facility, as well as picking processes. But it needed to do so in in a way that it could then be rolled out to other facilities. CJ Logistics used a cloud-based platform from SVT Robotics. The Norfolk, Va.-based supply chain startup onboards the necessary integration points from various system providers onto its platform—as well as those from a host of other hardware and software providers. It then enables customers…
