Walmart is using shelf-scanning robots to audit its stores
James Vincent for The Verge: The retailing giant says the robots introduction wont lead to job losses, and that the company wants to save employees from carrying out tasks that are "repeatable, predictable, and manual."
Why Human-Controlled, Force-Multiplying Robots Are the Future of Work on Earth
Ben Wolff, CEO of Sarcos via IEEE Spectrum:
3 Things to Know About Getting Into Defense Robotics for the Government
As if the DoD wasnt important enough on its own, their need for the latest and greatest in technology cannot be overstated - it might be critical to the future defense of our nation.
The Humatics Spatial Intelligence Platform
With its extensible architecture and APIs, the Humatics Spatial Intelligence Platform™ will power an ecosystem of new position-based products and services.
Can Robots help get more Girls into Science & Tech?
Matt Simon for Wired: The United States has a serious problem with getting women into STEM jobs and keeping them there.
Tend's Smart Cloud Robotics Platform
Tend in.view™ (which stands for "intelligent view") software is a cloud-based robot performance management solution. It lets users remotely monitor and analyze the performance of their production robots in real time, from any location, via their mobile device.
The Sharp INTELLOS Automated Unmanned Ground Vehicle (A-UGV)
INTELLOS is an autonomous, outdoor security robot that utilizes a navigation surveillance platform developed by Sharp to patrol predefined routes.
This Robot Tractor is ready to disrupt construction
Matt Simon for Wired: Give it coordinates, tell it what size the hole should be, hit enter, and it tears off and digs the thing with impressive accuracy.
Google to build a futuristic neighborhood in Toronto
Matt McFarland for CNN Money: Google, a company that's built everything from a search engine to a self-driving car, will now try its hand at a city neighborhood.
Encoder Selection: Speed Control
A general in depth analysis shows that the highest encoder resolutions are required for very precise speed control. The encoder resolution increases with the square of the demanded speed accuracy.
What should warehouse and logistics companies be looking for when implementing robots?
Warehouses should be thinking about safety, simplicity and software.
There's a huge opportunity in robotics for early career computer scientists
Greg Nichols for ZDNet: The reason is that programming a robot is no easy task, which presents challenges when it comes to deployment. That's particularly true of small- and mid-sized businesses, which are unlikely to have a qualified roboticist onboard.
How Will Robots Learn?
The basic idea of AI problem-solving is very simple, but its implementation is not so simple. The AI robot collects information about a situation through sensors. The computer compares this information to stored data and decides what the information suggests. The computer runs through various possible actions and predicts which action will be most successful based on the collected information.
Wrist Camera Increases Daily Production to Deliver Big Orders in Tight Delays
Mississippis WALT Machine Inc. specializes in high-precision optical work for scientific camera assemblies. Each spring WALT Machine must meet a massive challenge: Deliver around 6000 camera housings in 2 months time, with only one CNC machine.
How many robots does it take to change a light bulb?
Tim Sandle for Digital Journal: A newly created robotic gripper has researchers at University of California - San Diego excited. The 'friendly' new robot could help advance the automation of construction and building works.
