Next-Generation Mobile Robots Fleet Management
By collating all the robots onto one platform, we can enable the robots to operate collectively rather than individually. If all the robots are on one platform and under one traffic control, they will be able to share their location and become very efficient.
Effective Wireless Charging for AGVs
The trend towards lithium-ion batteries in intralogistics continues. Almost all large forklift manufacturers now have models with lithium-ion drives. In the field of driverless transport systems and mobile robots, powerful lithium-ion technology is already standard.
Under the Surface - Non-destructive Testing of Composite Materials
The portable inspection system iX-600 enables a non-contact and therefore guaranteed non-destructive inspection (NDI - Non-Destructive-Inspection) of composite materials. Testing can be carried out with regard to detachment, delamination or porosity.
Talking to Machines - New Operating Concepts With Artificial Intelligence
A simple request, a short sentence, for the human brain to interpret what is meant, make the connection and initiate an appropriate reaction is easy. For a machine this is much more complicated. To control technical devices with speech requires many individual steps.
Cybathlon: A Success for the Maxon Teams
The CYBATHLON 2020 Global Edition is history. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the teams had to compete in different time zones and locations. And out of the 50 teams participating, one in four teams were using maxon products.
Triad of Torque, Speed and Precision. Applications? Step Into the Ring.
Many applications require drive solutions that have a central opening through which parts of the application can be guided. Examples of this can be found in optics and photonics for laser steering systems or in automation and robotics for semiconductor handling systems.
Readers Choice 2020: How Do You Train a Retail Robot?
Here are some lessons learned while shepherding grocery robots as they've logged more than 250,000 miles of pilot runs and hundreds of actual deployments.
Readers Choice 2020: Smarter Robotics Are Changing Security
While robots already play a prominent role in logistics and manufacturing, industry leaders are just beginning to realize the potential of this technology in security measures.
Readers Choice 2020: How Robots Are Changing On-Site Construction
The introduction of construction robotics may prove to be a tipping point for this industry. How are robots changing on-site construction today, and where can we expect to see them in the future?
Challenges of Developing a Safety System for an Autonomous Work Site
There are many safety standards - most have been developed in the age of the fixed autonomous robot - behind a cage - in a factory, for example. Today, these robots are moving.
Better Data equals Better Navigation
To achieve navigation accuracy, sensors use algorithms that look at a series of measurements (as opposed to a single measurement) and generate output numbers that compensate for measurement errors. These algorithms are known as sensor fusion algorithms or Kalman filtering.
How Top Modules Make AMRs Possible
An AMR without a top module is like a robotic arm without an end-effector tool such as a gripper-it lacks functionality. The benefits of AMRs are only realized-and maximized-with top modules and high-quality gates and carts that transfer the transported materials.
Inertial Navigation Solution in Delivery Robots & Drones
Our focus was to provide a solution that offers ease of use and eliminate the customer's need to outsource components and programming. The integration of our MSCL, ROS, and several Open-Source API's, allows for the application of available and compatible software.
5 Challenges a Motor Has to Overcome on Mars Home
Outer space is unforgiving. This is why precision drives embarking on a trip to other planets need to meet extremely high quality standards.
Next-Generation Industrial Robotic Capabilities Advanced by Artificial Intelligence
As barriers between human activities and robotic capabilities diminish - moving beyond the fenced activities of last-generation industrial robots - new collaboration and workflow models are bringing humans and robots together in industry.
