…second-generation Intel Xeon scalable processors. “We've also worked with AWS and Windows IoT on security,” said Waldman. Boards with built-in IoT software enable mobile robots Advantech has developed single-board computers and ruggedized motherboards whose interface can support expansions and that come with its WISE-PaaS IoT software built in. At Automate, Advantech demonstrated its systems with autonomous mobile robots (AMRs). The company said its MIO can improve AMRs' ability to maneuver safely and be managed in fleets. Advantech had previously partnered with engineering company AIUT to enable its Formica AMRs to use natural navigation and automate internal logistics. What industries can…

…CES 2023 preps starting line “Collaborating with partners like AWS, Cisco, Continental, Dallara, dSPACE, and Luminar, the IAC is pushing limits for the entire autonomous community and helping to increase safety and performance of this life-saving technology, not only in motorsports, but across all modes of commercial transportation,” said the CTA. It added that next January's vehicles will include a boosted engine package. The next Autonomous Challenge @ CES will be limited to CES 2023 attendees, and transportation will be available from the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. CES 2023 will take place in…

…secures from industry leaders like Schaeffler, Bridgestone, Cisco and AWS. Luminar provides our lidars and then the teams had to pay $300,000 to acquire the car. Essentially, in the autonomous challenge, we raise sponsorship money through donations of hardware and software. We also subsidize the car cost a bit, but we wanted to make sure that teams were invested in the asset. Can anyone apply and participate? Mitchell: Yes. We ran a prize competition where we had an open call, and we had 41 universities from around the world that signed up. Those universities, over the course of a year…

…to bring AI into industrial manufacturing. “Major cloud players, AWS and Microsoft, have established a wide range of partnerships with industrial AI development platform vendors, AI software vendors, and system integrators to provide an end-to-end, cloud-to-edge solution to enhance operational efficiency, reduce bottlenecks, and optimize resource consumption in factories,” said Lian Jye Su, Principal Analyst at ABI Research. In China, the Chinese government has listed 10 key industrial manufacturing segments under Made in China in 2025, and AI is a strategic component of the Information Technology segment. Since 2015, the government has been encouraging provincial and local government, public agencies,…

…of more than 100,000 robots, which operate using the AWS cloud, to fulfill customer orders. These robots complement human capability to “help make us smarter,” according to Tye Brady, Amazon robotics chief technologist. “Our three principles – lower prices, wider selection, and enhanced customer experience – will not scale up by manual labor only, they keep accelerating and growing only if we augment and supplement human intelligence with machine intelligence” Brady believes we can accomplish this with collaborative robots “who work in concert with our associates.” Sometimes that means extending human activities with robotics. Other times, that means delegating separate…

…alleviate worker shortage, says UR The American Welding Society (AWS) estimates there is currently a shortage of 50,000 welders. It expects that figure to grow to nearly 400,000 by 2024, as many of today’s welders, who are now an average age of 55, retire. Welding is no longer part of shop classes in high schools, and some of the work is extremely repetitive in nature, not work a welder wants to do, said Joe Campbell, senior manager of applications development at Universal Robots North America. For example, Super Vac produces about 100 air ventilation fans per week, each one needing…

…Alexa and iRobot’s HOME app. In 2016, Amazon published a case study on iRobot’s integration with Amazon Web Service (AWS) servers, which allowed iRobot to scale app-controlled operations for consumers. With the smart household devices market growing throughout the past few years, questions about surveillance and data privacy add regulatory complexity to deploying consumer-grade robots.

…generation of innovators. In addition to thousands of attendees at the IMS and more than 20,000 viewers on the AWS livestream, the IAC hosted 350 high school STEM students representing more than 50 urban, rural, and suburban school districts across Indiana. “The IAC would not be possible without the generous support of Lilly Endowment Inc. and the Indiana Economic Development Corp., which have been committed partners since the beginning,” said Energy Systems Network's Mitchell. “We know that the achievements of our IAC teams, alongside some of the best companies in the world, will certainly lead to the acceleration of Indiana’s…

I breathe a lot easier.” Future Acres has raised more than $1 million on SeedInvest to date, and its campaign ends on Oct. 6. Why has investment in agricultural robotics been slow until lately? “A healthy skepticism is important,” Reddy said. “Once we can demonstrate that our technology works, we'll see an accelerated evolution in agtech unlike any we've seen in recent decades.” “From traditional agricultural investors, because of…

…manager for robotics at NVIDIA. “It’s available now on AWS RoboMaker, a cloud-based simulation service for robotics development and testing,” he said. “And, developers can download it from NVIDIA NGC and deploy it to any public cloud.” Using Isaac Sim in the cloud, roboticists will be able to generate large datasets from physically accurate sensor simulations to train artificial intelligence-based perception models, said NVIDIA. The synthetic data these simulations generate can improve the model performance and provide training data that often can’t be collected in the real world, it said. Developers can now test an autonomous mobile robot (AMR) in…

…simulation and validation technology and the onboard supercomputer, and AWS provided cloud computing and data analytics. The initial 31 university teams used open-source software including the Robot Operating System, or ROS 2. PoliMOVE pulls ahead in close contest Yesterday's challenge required racecars to take turns passing one another as leader/defender and follower/passer/attacker for the first time at speeds of 80, 115, and 155 mph (128.7, 185, and 249.4 kph). Six of the nine teams qualified for the head-to-head competition Saturday. In the run leading into the final race, the car from MIT-PITT-RW team stopped for software and safety reasons, allowing…
