…adding housing supply with outdated technologies runs counter to greenhouse gas (GHG) emission-reduction targets, since buildings are responsible for 38% of global GHG emissions, the company said. Attar and Reza Nasseri, a former research and development executive at Autodesk and a Canadian homebuilder, founded Promise Robotics less than three years ago. They said they have extensive large-scale automation experience, having successfully completed thousands of homes in a high-volume prefab factory out of Alberta, Canada. Promise Robotics said its AI-driven system enables the homebuilding industry to deploy automation at scale. By managing automation within factories as a service, the company said…

…sustainability Manufacturing is one of the largest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions, responsible for 31% of emissions in the U.S., according to the Environmental Protection Agency. Current manufacturing processes take too long, prevent innovation, contribute to climate change, stretch supply chains, and offshore jobs, noted Seurat Technologies. However, the Biden administration’s investments in green manufacturing and $6 billion commitment to cutting industrial emissions have increased attention to sustainability, said the company. Seurat claimed that it is “reinventing and reshoring manufacturing” with its Area Printing technology. Developed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, the metal 3D printing technology “delivers high-precision, high-volume, decarbonized…

…operating costs. Nauticus also said it can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions to improve offshore health, safety, and environmental exposure. “We have the near-term goal of reducing reliance on vessels for offshore tasks,” Radford told Robotics 24/7. “You don't need a jackhammer for a nail. We need to deploy the technology at scale to keep people safe and to create more autonomous systems.” Norway-based Equinor ASA recently engaged Nauticus and its local business partner, Stinger Technology AS, to deply a proprietary leak-detection technology service. Nauticus also signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Australia-based MMA Offshore Ltd. to develop an…

…help customers reduce their operational footprint, operating cost, and greenhouse gas emissions to improve offshore health, safety, and environmental exposure. The company said it is developing an underwater robot derived from its Aquanaut that includes technology to support longer and more challenging missions. The electric-powered Aquanaut offers two modes—as a autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) and as a remotely operated vehicle (ROV). In addition, the Leidos award will fund further operational enhancements to toolKITT, said Nauticus. The proprietary software package is designed to provide subsea vehicles the intelligence for a variety of autonomous actions. In its report of its earnings for…

…less disruption to the public. They can also reduce greenhouse gas emissions and minimize costs, according to the company, which is part of SPX Technologies. CISBOT reduces disruptions Normally, gas main service requires excavation of a road or street to find and repair leaks. This can disrupt traffic, and draining pipes is time-consuming and dangerous. CISBOT, or the “Cast Iron Joint Sealing Robot,” goes into live gas pipes to repair or upgrade leaking and aged mechanically bolted or lead jute joints. The robot allows for repairs to be made to gas pipes while minimizing disruptions to road users and to…
