Autonomous Technology to be Presented at the SmartAmerica Challenge Summit
- Applied Robotics for Installations and Base Operations (ARIBO) will be
Washington Convention Center.
- The summit is a culmination of a challenge aimed at uniting more than 100
organizations who dared to demonstrate the potential benefits of
cyber-physical systems (CPS) technology, programs and test beds to improve
safety, sustainability, efficiency, mobility and overall quality of life.
- Team ARIBO is a model of public-private partnership and cross-sector
collaboration. ARIBO partners include: The U.S. Army Tank Automotive
Research, Development and Engineering Center (TARDEC), Stanford University,
Induct Technologies, Unicor (through Induct), University of Texas Arlington
Research Institute (UTARI), West Point, Fort Bragg & Womack Army Medical
Center, and Comet Consulting.

Featured Product
IPR Robotics - Right-Sized 7th Axis Robot Linear Rails
IPR Robotics offers a wide range of servo-driven 7th axis linear rails for industrial robots. These rails come in ten different sizes and are constructed from modular high strength extruded aluminum sections to handle payloads of 100 kg to 1600 kg or from steel to handle 2000 kg payloads. This variety of rail sizes allows each application to be sized correctly, controlling the space required and the price point. The drive train design of these rails utilizes helical gear-racks and is proven over 10 years to be repeatable and reliable, even in tough foundry applications.
