Advances in Robots to See & Interpret within Warehouse Environments
Computation is the largest hurdle. 360-degree sensor data that is granular enough to detect small obstacles in the environment is very large. For Stretch to have a real time reaction, that data has to be processed at a very high rate.
The Signal Beneath the Intelligence
While the industry debates models, parameters, and computer architectures, a more consequential story is unfolding at the signal level. Every autonomous system, no matter how sophisticated its software, must sense the real world, respond to it, and act within it.
Tactile Sensor Technology
Humanoid robots are expected to enter our homes soon, and a sense of touch is crucial for safe and capable humanoids. Homes are challenging, unstructured and highly dynamic environments.
Sonair's ADAR 3D Ultrasonic Sensor
ADAR stands out by combining full-3D sensing via ultra-sound, strong safety credentials, cost efficiency and ease of integration. This is enabling robots to safely work in closer proximity to people and in tougher environments than many existing solutions.
From Centralized Brains to Edge Intelligence: Rethinking Compute Architectures for Autonomous Mobile Robots

Today's AMRs are navigating unpredictable warehouse aisles, adapting to real-time sensor feedback, and running machine learning inference on the fly - meaning developers can ill afford inefficient systems.
How to Choose the Right NDT Methods for Robotics Manufacturing
With so many NDT options available, the best one depends on the specific materials and functions in question. As a result, it is often most helpful to vary methods between components.
System lets robots identify an object's properties through handling
With a novel simulation method, robots can guess the weight, softness, and other physical properties of an object just by picking it up.
How Robot Sensors Are Powering a USD 5 Billion Revolution by 2032

By 2032, the projected $5 billion valuation of the robot sensor market will not only signify economic success but also mark a pivotal chapter in the evolution of robotics technology.
Mecademic robots achieve sense of touch with Bota sensors
Mecademic's plug-and-play micro-automation robots are designed for precision applications in areas such as component manufacturing. To give its robots the required sense of touch, Mecademic has focused on perfecting the use of force torque sensors from Bota Systems.
The Core of Optimizing Robotic Performance: Sensors in Warehousing
Without any external input to guide its actions or decisions, a robot would behave like a machine, performing tasks without adaptation or autonomy. Serving as the critical link between the robot and its environment, sensors enable the robot to perceive and interpret.
Understanding Force Sensors: How They Work and Measure Force
A force sensor measures mechanical forces, like a secret handshake between machines and the real world. These ingenious devices convert mechanical force into electrical signals, enabling us to measure, analyze, and interact with the physical world around us.
Robotics Applications in Manufacturing and the Sensors Used for Maximum Efficiency
Autonomous industrial robots can increase production volumes exponentially, yielding high profits. The International Trade Administration has reported that increasing robot density by a small 1% among all industries can improve productivity by 0.8%.
SIKO supports development project for autonomously operating harvesting vehicle in fruit orchards - Autonomous robot for harvesting apples
Measurement and sensor solutions from SIKO are not only found in established industrial applications, SIKO GmbH is also currently supporting an agricultural research and development project with two rotary encoders from its range for mobile machines.
Accommodating Market Volumes and Staying Competitive with Scalable Sensor Solutions
As companies continue to integrate more automation into their warehouses and DCs, the need for intelligent sensors to monitor and guide that equipment in a very safe, efficient, and productive manner will also increase.
Using ASICs to enable high-performance, cost-effective position sensors
'Position sensor' is a broad term covering a range of technologies. In this article, we consider sensors that measure rotation and linear displacement.
