People say knowledge is power, and that adage absolutely applies to supply-chain decision makers. Before any decisions can be made, data must be collected from facilities to inform the decision-making process. But unless your facility has a camera pointed at each and every location, gathering accurate and up-to-date data can present a complex challenge. Andrei Danescu, CEO and co-founder of…

Data is the key to everything, especially when it comes to automation systems and robotics. End users are always looking for more data and the right data. What if there was a way to utilize the data collected in facilities now - in some cases using robots already deployed - to improve operational efficiency for years to come? Brain Corporation,…

For nearly 100 years, researchers at Bell Labs have developed countless technological innovations. The research institution is credited with inventing numerous electronics components that are commonplace today, including the transistor, photovoltaic solar cells, and charge-coupled device (CCD) imaging sensors. Now Nokia Bell Labs, the New Jersey-based research subsidiary focuses on commercialization opportunities for new technologies. One project at Nokia Bell…

Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) can be a powerful tool, delivering information for both robot navigation and operations management. Reliable visual SLAM can run on inexpensive hardware, making it relatively easy to deploy and scale. In 2016, Andrew Davison, Stefan Leutenegger, Jacek Zienkiewicz and Owen Nicholson co-founded Slamcore while researching “spatial AI” machine vision for robots at Imperial College London.…

Tasks that are easy for humans can be difficult for robots. Pallet handling is a perfect example. Human operators are great at picking pallets of all shapes and sizes, even if there is plastic wrap covering the pockets, or if the pallets are skewed in the rack. Automated lift trucks work best when pallets are clean, in good condition, and…

Airports are home to a variety of industries and businesses. Airside operations function alongside cargo and baggage ground handling logistics. Customer-facing terminals house security checkpoints and retail outlets. Runways, taxiways, ramps, and large grass fields make up most of the land area, while restaurants and stores inside terminals are compressed into expensive real estate. “When I think of an airport,…

Landscaping crews operate on the principle of efficiency. But monotonous mowing tasks take away from time that they can spend performing detail tasks, such as edging and trimming or managing planters. Scythe Robotics developed its autonomous commercial mower, the M.52, to help landscapers improve their operational efficiency. With support from Scythe’s engineers, implementation team, and customer support services, landscapers can…

Robot arms equipped with the right safety features can operate in close proximity to people. But not all collaborative robots are built for constant work alongside humans. The Association for Advancing Automation (A3) defines four major types of collaborative robots recognized by the ISO. Some primarily move autonomously, abiding by visual sensors telling the robots to slow down or stop…

When people think of cobots, they usually picture people and robots working side by side in a shared space. But collaborative robotics also includes the fields of supervised autonomy and teleoperation. Plus One Robotics creates machine vision and AI computing systems for parcel picking applications. In addition to its AI platform PickOne, the company provides its customers with a remote…
