…image-based vessel detection to aid navigation, said NVIDIA. Saildrone pilots set waypoints and optimize the routes using “metocean” data—which includes meteorological and oceanographic information—returned from the vehicle. All of the USVs are monitored around the clock, and operators can change course remotely via the cloud if needed. Machine learning is mostly run locally on the Jetson module—but can run on…

…it on large datasets enables navigation of unknown environments in the real world. Apart from directly learning a trajectory model as in MπNets, the team also recently unveiled a new point cloud-based collision model called CabiNet. With the CabiNet model, one can deploy general purpose pick-and-place policies of unknown objects beyond a tabletop setup. CabiNet was trained with over 650,000…

…perception solutions, ultimately facilitating smooth navigation of the robot through complex environments. The system involved 3D global positioning along with the goal to replicate ultra-precise “human” movement through the physical space with the robot. For the navigation stack, the team utilized wheel odometry, IMU and LiDAR data as well as an OptiTrack solution for repeatable localization. Finally, a Yaskawa arm…

…to have the perception and navigation capabilities to move around environments, he said. Thoro.ai's autonomy kit, which was originally developed in Carnegie Robotics' facility, was first featured in the Nilfisk Liberty SC50 Autonomous Scrubber back when the company launched. That robot is used to clean large venues, including hospitals, schools, and airports. Moving beyond cleaning When Mondi joined Thoro.ai as…

…factories, warehouses, and distribution centers. Navigation systems allow them to drive safely and efficiently in work areas without the need for an operator, said the company. “Creating Kivnon was a visionary gamble that has paid off,” said Prieto. “Automating material logistics flows is making a visible difference in all sectors. For example, in one of our applications in the automotive…

…only doing basic control or navigation, but in some cases applying artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning algorithms that allow these systems to get better by doing. Now we have another sign of software’s importance to robotics: platforms that coordinate tasks between multiple AMR fleets and traditional automation, while simplifying integration to warehouse management systems (WMS). Analyst firm Gartner calls…

…new extension to its Autonomous Navigation Technology designed to allow mobile robots to effectively operate outdoors. “Prior to today, use cases such as transporting components or finished goods from one building to another have not been an easy proposition for AGV and AMR makers. ANT everywhere changes that,” stated Dr. Nicola Tomatis, CEO of BlueBotics. “This tightly integrated product extension…
