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.

Innovative Manufacturers Should Embed Automated Systems in Production Processes

Innovative manufacturers should strategically embed three classes of automated systems into their production processes: industrial robots, autonomous robots, and co-bots. These precision tools will allow higher control of processes and thus lead to higher product quality.

AMR Innovation Arrives at MODEX 2020

Given the proliferation of warehouses, distribution centers, direct to consumer (D2C) business models, fleets of AMRs, questioning the validity of innovation is worthy of examination.

Automation - no need to rip and replace

The concept of full automation could be daunting, especially considering the cost, time and disruption that go into building a brand new factory or warehouse - this just isn't a viable option for a large proportion of businesses.

Packaging Robots To Take Over Redundant Tasks of Workers: Launch Of Novel Technologies Paves The Way

The global packaging robots industry is expected to reach $4.65 billion by 2023, registering a CAGR of 9.6% from 2017 to 2023. That's because of the rise in usage of robot to increase efficiency in packaging.
