Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) are increasingly being used in a variety of industries to automate material handling and transportation tasks. These technologies are capable of moving materials, goods, and products around a facility without the need for human intervention. AGVs are automated vehicles that follow a predetermined path using various…
What can a mobile robot do? Here is answer from myAGV, an automous navigation smart vehicle Since 2016, Elephant Robotics has launched many collaborative robotic arm products such as myCobot, myPalletizer, mechArm, and the new dual-arm robot,myBuddy. However, a stationary robotic arm can not meet the needs in more applications. It will be extremely helpful…
A new ROI calculator from OMRON has been launched to support the process of evaluating an investment in collaborative and mobile robots, including easy and affordable leasing opportunities that are ideal for small and medium enterprises (SMEs). OMRON’s ROI calculator gives companies who are considering investing in collaborative or mobile robots a quick and easy…
Autonomous robots are expected to perform a wide range of sophisticated tasks in complex, unknown environments. However, available onboard computing capabilities and algorithms represent a considerable obstacle to reaching higher levels of autonomy, especially as robots get smaller and the end of Moore’s law approaches. Here, we argue that inspiration from insect intelligence is a…
North American firms ordered nearly 29,000 robotics units in first nine months of 2021 Robotics orders by North American companies are on track for their biggest year, according to an industry group. Total robotics sales for the first nine months of the year were $1.48 billion, topping a previous record of $1.47 billion set over…
Russian engineers have developed the country’s first walking robot dog prototype, the Moscow State University (MSU) has announced. The team said it took two years to build the dog-like robot “from scratch.” A short video posted on the MSU engineering project Voltbro’s YouTube page showcased some of the machine’s capabilities, like walking at different speeds and…
LIMO is an incredibly versatile and multifunctional robotic platform for designing and programming robot AI. It uses the modular programming languages ROS 1 or ROS 2 to achieve many functional purposes including mapping, navigation, obstacle avoidance, path planning, and more for educational, commercial and industrial applications. “At AgileX Robotics, our vision is to enable all…
