…president of production management and a veteran of Boeing, NASA and Apple. “It sorts batches into individual orders and does so at speeds that are faster than human operators.” Why a putwall? Williams says that putwalls are areas that are very manual and labor intensive, and, that the Kindred solution is flexible and scalable. “It’s very easy to remove an existing putwall and drop in one of our cells. You can pilot it quickly to prove the solution and determine if there is an ROI.” Williams says that Kindred uses advanced artificial intelligence to teach the robot how to distinguish…

…2020 and 2024. Artemis is a joint effort by NASA, U.S. commercial aerospace providers, and international partners. These include including the European Space Agency (which itself has 22 member countries), Canada, Japan, and Russia, said the IFR. There are plenty of other bright spots in the global robotics constellation, including AI research in France, customer-service robots in Singapore, drones and assistive systems in Israel, marine systems in the Netherlands, and collaborative robot arms and mobile robots from Denmark. And that's not even counting the billions of dollars currently flowing into autonomous vehicle development, with China and the U.S. as early…

…announced updates and new releases for Omniverse. “And like NASA and Amazon, we and our customers in robotics and industrial automation realize the importance of digital twins and Omniverse.” Nova Orin includes tools for simulating a robot in Isaac Sim on Omniverse. NVIDIA said it plans to offer new hardware-accelerated modules, or Isaac ROS GEMs. They are intended to enable mobile robots to visually navigate, safely avoid obstacles, and efficiently plan paths. “New simulation capabilities, available in the NVIDIA Isaac Sim April release, will help save time when building virtual environments to test and train AMRs,” said Andrews. “Using 3D…

…launched in 2013, Xometry now counts carmaker BMW and NASA among its customers. According to the company, it now serves nine out of the top 10 Fortune 500 aerospace companies, and 44% of the Fortune 500 automotive and auto part makers. Protolabs started in 1999 as an injection molding company and a few short years later added CNC machining to its line of service. In 2014, Protolabs began offering industrial-grade 3D printing services and added sheet metal fabrication in 2017 through the acquisition of Rapid Manufacturing. Today, the company operates 12 manufacturing facilities (seven in the U.S.) as an on-demand…
