…for machine tending.” The solution will provide natural feature navigation, so there is no need to add fiducials or reflectors to the operating environment. The system is reconfigurable to accommodate changing operational preferences and/or changing facility infrastructure. It is also easily redeployable between various processes due to increase or decrease in production volume. This solution will be introduced at AUTOMATICA 2016 (Messe München | Munich, Germany | June 21-24, 2016). For more information, please visit Yaskawa’s booth (Hall B6 | booth 502). Additionally, the solution will be introduced in the United States at the International Manufacturing Technology Show (McCormick Place…

…N10 mobile robot platform features LiDAR for natural features navigation. Configurations are available now for tugger, conveyor deck, and pallet stacker applications. Each configuration is also available with a dual mode manual driver platform for ultimate operational flexibility. In the tugger configuration, these robust vehicles can transport loads up to 10,000 pounds at speeds up to 4 mph with no changes to existing infrastructure, which makes them perfect for dynamic environments. The low profile Mylo series is engineered to tunnel under load handling frames, and hitches automatically with a programmable pin assembly. These compact mobile robots use magnetic tape guidance…

…up with all the tipping points. Grippers, vision systems, navigation solutions and software are combining to make once fantastical robotic applications all but inevitable. But, even as they offer solutions to age-old challenges, concepts like robotic piece picking are also bound to present sizable tests. When it comes to piece picking, humans have the advantage of highly dexterous manipulation, versatile product identification and intuitive decision-making. Robots offer consistency and predictability, but they will need greater speed and flexibility to keep up with the inconsistent and unpredictable world of e-commerce fulfillment. Researchers, solution providers and end-users are still in the very…
