…Stretch does not require any pre-programming of SKU numbers or information on box sizes. The robot makes all unloading decisions in real time, without the need for explicit directions or supervision, said Boston Dynamics. The robot can work more than a full shift on a single charge or up to 16 hours with a high-capacity battery option, the company added.…

…bridge the skills gap. Simplified programming interfaces, such as low-code or no-code platforms that can translate human language into robot commands, enable operators to program robots with simple commands such as look for an image, position to respond and execute the action required. Comau is taking this commitment even further with the exciting work we’re doing through our partnership with…

…the cobot, preventing injury. All programming happens though the PALLY software, directly on the cobot’s touchscreen. “It took roughly 45 to 60 minutes to get us all trained through a multitude of scenarios,” says Chow, who expects to do hundreds of product change-overs with the system. A key benefit of the automated palletizing is that it frees up operators from…

…a set of pretested application programming interfaces (APIs). They generally seek to shield end-user organizations from having to hard-code the links between systems. According to Klappich, some vendors in the orchestration platform space focus more heavily on the integration challenge, while others stress orchestration features. Both capabilities, Klappich adds, are part of this emerging space. “First, there’s need to speed…
