AutonomouStuff Teams Up With Baidu to Revolutionize the Future of Autonomy
The revolutionary Apollo Kit now available from AutonomouStuff after Baidu announces partners for its Project Apollo autonomous driving platform.
AutonomouStuff and Baidu have joined forces to offer open, comprehensive and reliable software platforms and kits to ease and revolutionize mobility.
"This is a revolutionary movement that will have a major impact on the way developers utilize technology in the future," said AutonomouStuff CEO Bobby Hambrick. "Apollo is a breakthrough. What used to take decades can now be available in one single day."
The Apollo Kit begins with a drive-by-wire vehicle platform, which gives you access to steering, shifting, acceleration and braking. The second factor, GPS and IMU, support localization. An electronic control unit (ECU) that is preconfigured with the operating system and the Apollo software makes up the third component. The final piece of the puzzle is engineering services from AutonomouStuff, which pulls everything together.
"The relationship between Baidu and AutonomouStuff is going to change the industry significantly," Hambrick said. "The live automated vehicle demonstrations that the AStuff team built and showcased at Baidu's AI conference serve as a huge step forward in mobility. Pulling together some of the greatest innovators in the world, the Apollo project is going to redefine the future of transportation. This is just the beginning."

Schmalz Technology Development - Vacuum Generation without Compressed Air - Flexible and Intelligent
• Vacuum generation that's 100% electrical;
• Integrated intelligence for energy and process control;
• Extensive communication options through IO-Link interface;
Schmalz already offers a large range of solutions that can optimize handling process from single components such as vacuum generators to complete gripping systems. Particularly when used in autonomous warehouse, conventional vacuum generation with compressed air reaches its limits. Compressed air often is unavailable in warehouses. Schmalz therefore is introducing a new technology development: a gripper with vacuum generation that does not use compressed air. The vacuum is generated 100% electrically. This makes the gripper both energy efficient and mobile. At the same time, warehouses need systems with integrated intelligence to deliver information and learn. This enables the use of mobile and self-sufficient robots, which pick production order at various locations in the warehouse. Furthermore, Schmalz provides various modular connection options from its wide range of end effectors in order to handle different products reliably and safely.
