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…
In 2022, Elephant Robotics launched many new products and projects, including myPalletizer, mechArm, and myBuddy, etc. This year, we have also received many projects with our robotic arms from users. Here are the excellent application cases we select to share. Photographic lighting [1] Building an excellent lighting configuration is very important for the photographer, which…
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…
Enhance your development efficiency with myBuddy, the world’s first Dual-arm collaborative robot for education In July, Elephant Robotics released myBuddy, a dual-arm collaborative robot with multiple functions, at an incredible price. myBuddy helps users achieve more applications and developments as a collaborative robotic arm. “myBuddy is the most cost-effective dual-arm robot for scientific research and…
ABB launches five axes Delta robot fastest for lightweight product picking, packing & re-orientation New FlexPicker® IRB 365 picking robot fastest-in-class for picking and packing applications up to 1.5kg Flexibility to be used in a range of applications, from shelf ready packaging to parcel sorting and bottle handling. Commissioning time reduced from days to hours…
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…
Researchers have developed a technique that enables a robot to learn a new pick-and-place task with only a handful of human demonstrations. With e-commerce orders pouring in, a warehouse robot picks mugs off a shelf and places them into boxes for shipping. Everything is humming along, until the warehouse processes a change and the robot…
Scientists and engineers are developing a new generation of simulation tools accurate enough to develop and test robots virtually. Building and fine-tuning robotic systems takes lots of time. This is especially true for robots designed to interact within and manipulate an ever-changing array of objects in Amazon facilities. Developing robotic systems in a virtual environment…
Joystick-operated robot could help surgeons treat stroke remotely. The system could provide teleoperated endovascular treatment to patients during the critical time window after a stroke begins. MIT engineers have developed a telerobotic system to help surgeons quickly and remotely treat patients experiencing a stroke or aneurysm. With a modified joystick, surgeons in one hospital may…
Thousands of cancer patients across Wales could soon be operated on by robotic arms controlled by surgeons. Previously patients living in north Wales had to travel to England for robotic-assisted surgery. From June, the arms will be used to perform some surgeries at Ysbyty Gwynedd. Doctors said the technology would improve accuracy and help patients…
