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.

Cobots Versus Industrial Robots
Buying a new robot is a considerable investment for any business owner. Collaborative robots have been widely marketed as a cheaper alternative to industrial robots, but what's the catch?
Deployment of an Automation Solution - Process, People, Technology
Deployment of an automation solution that takes into account the process needs, the people as well as the technology, ensures businesses can introduce automation that can augment the workers' experience whilst also transforming productivity.
Exoskeletons and Exo-suits: Exploring the Scope of Wearable Robots
However, studies in the field of wearable robots are opening up innumerable possibilities of telepresence and telemanipulation that could change the degree and nature of functionality and productivity in humans.
A Guide to Self-Healing Robots
More flexible materials are necessary for safer collaborative work alongside humans and delicate tasks usually performed by humans, such as picking fruit and vegetables or performing minor surgeries.
How Robots Are Changing the Maritime Industry
Advanced robotics are already influencing maritime operations. From the green and eco-friendly benefits offered by regular hull cleanings, to the safer waters achieved through anti-piracy measures, the applications are vast.
Trends in Industrial Robotics to Watch in 2020
According to one McKinsey study, the market for industrial robotics has increased by double digits each year since 2012, and will continue this growth at least through
2021.
