BrainOS for Commercial Robotic Navigation

07/26/18, 08:43 AM | Other Topics | agv, navigation, software

For commercial robotics-where hitting a wall or a person with an 800-pound machine would be catastrophic-being confident that the robot is safe, secure, and well supported is critical.

MIT Created a Blind Robot That Can Run and Jump

07/19/18, 09:03 AM | Mobile Robots, Other Topics | research | Kayla Mathews - Contributing Author

Given the name Cheetah 3 by its developers, the robot, which weighs less than 100 pounds, is roughly the size and shape of a medium-sized dog. It's the ideal solution for crawling through narrow spaces, traversing dangerous obstacles and inspecting inaccessible areas.

Command and Control of UAV Swarms with the Wing GCS Ground Control Station

07/17/18, 09:38 AM | Other Topics | drones, swarm

While there have been demonstrations of swarms involving up to 1000 UAVs, there are few examples of use in practical scenarios. One reason for this is the difficulty of effectively organising and controlling the swarm using a standard transmitter and laptop computer.

Robots in Retail Environments Pivotal to Filling Information and Automation Gaps

The World of Insect Cyborgs

06/14/18, 08:17 AM | Other Topics | insect, minature | Len Calderone - Contributing Author

Instead of attempting to produce complex robots that mimic the insect form, researchers have hijacked bugs to turn them into robots. These cyborg insects have varied uses, from spying to search-and-rescue missions.

How Sensors are Moving Materials Handling Towards Safe Automation

06/05/18, 09:19 AM | Factory Automation, Other Topics | agv, sensors

Affordable, highly accurate and extremely reliable sensing systems and controls are fueling the rise of AGV solutions for a wide range of material handling applications in warehouses, factories and industrial facilities.

Remote Manipulation with the Wing Control Device

05/31/18, 08:32 AM | Mobile Robots, Other Topics | motion control | Worthington Sharpe Ltd

The Wing can be moved about on a work surface like with a normal mouse, but additionally, the upper body can be pitched, rolled and moved vertically relative to the lower body. The yaw bar, positioned between the upper and lower bodies can also be twisted.

How Drones Can Change the Way we Drive

05/31/18, 08:28 AM | Other Topics | drones, safety

One of the major ways in which drones may change the way we drive and travel is by helping first responders to clear road collisions much more quickly and efficiently.
