COMPUTER VISION AND ROBOTICS EXPAND INDUSTRIAL CAPABILITIES
How can industrial robots gain new abilities that can increase their operational value while remaining safe and secure in a factory collaborating with humans?
How Robotics Has Helped The Tank Cleaning Industry
Robot tank cleaners are creating a new wave of employee safety. They are utilized to complete dangerous tank cleanout while an employee controls every movement of the robot in the safety of their workspace outside the tank.
The AI Trajectory- Fear of Singularity
Time is compelling the need to normalize this disparity and speculation on what AI can do and what AI can’t do without humans in the transformation. At the same time, the human intelligence, wisdom and empathy cannot be overpowered by AI including its ethical usage.
Aerial Drones And Launch Of Novel Technologies Opens New Opportunities For Autonomous Last-Mile Delivery
Last-mile delivery is the toughest and the most expensive endeavor in the supply chain. Thanks to the instant gratification of millennials, today’s customer preference is extremely sensitive.
6 Ways Robotics Can Help Protect Our Oceans
Technology advances have touched almost every industry and process — even those under the seas. Today, experts have robots helping oceans through satellite systems, low-cost sensors, big data and more.
The Center for Robotics and Biosystems at Northwestern
We are working toward the intimate physical integration of humans and robots. One example is robots that assist humans in collaborative physical tasks, like manipulating heavy objects in a warehouse.

ST Robotics Develops the Workspace Sentry for Collaborative Robotics
The ST Robotics Workspace Sentry robot and area safety system are based on a small module that sends an infrared beam across the workspace. If the user puts his hand (or any other object) in the workspace, the robot stops using programmable emergency deceleration. Each module has three beams at different angles and the distance a beam reaches is adjustable. Two or more modules can be daisy chained to watch a wider area. "A robot that is tuned to stop on impact may not be safe. Robots where the trip torque can be set at low thresholds are too slow for any practical industrial application. The best system is where the work area has proximity detectors so the robot stops before impact and that is the approach ST Robotics has taken," states President and CEO of ST Robotics David Sands.
