How Are Robots Tested for Harsh Conditions?

Advanced robots can spare human workers from dangerous or life-threatening conditions and environments - like the intricate underwater terrain of a search-and-rescue mission or extreme pressures faced by oil and gas workers. Robots aren't invincible, however, and they need to be carefully designed to handle these extreme conditions. Here are some of the extreme environments that robots face - and how designers test them

In Chinese First, Autonomous Vehicle Services Residential Compound

In "Boston Ivy", two Hachi Auto vehicles shuttle between the community's bus stop and its food court, passing its underground parking, main garden, as well as its activity, marketing, and children's centers along their route.

Autonomous Drones Provide Information on Remaining Resources in Historic Mining Area

With Exyn's fully autonomous aerial drones, the team was able to navigate old workings and map them more accurately with drones that are able to independently navigate, visualize and record the whole space, even in the challenging environment.

Indoor Tracking Technologies in Robots & Drones

This thought experiment shows why robot localization, the task of maintaining a location position as robots move around, and obstacle avoidance, is so critical to the success of all non-stationary robots.

Advancing AI to Get Robots to Work With Humans

CEO Jeff Linnell brings an unorthodox approach to robotics. Part Cinematographer, part Creative Director and part self-taught Engineer, Jeff is a serial robotics entrepreneur and a thought leader.

HoloBuilder Announces Partnership with Boston Dynamics

Controlled by HoloBuilder's SpotWalk app, the Boston Dynamics' Spot robot can walk job sites autonomously, capturing 360° images that record the progress of a construction project over time.

The Invasion of AI/ML into Android Smartphones

The migration to utilizing AI and ML in mobile systems locally 'in memory' has happened very fast within a few short years.

Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) Inventory Counts using Drones in Warehouses & Distribution Centers

This, in turn, is driving inventory stakeholders to move their top-tier sites from majority bulk storage to majority racking, and from traditional aisles to very narrow aisles (VNAs). Rack heights have steadily increased from 25 feet, on average, to 35 feet or more.

Integration of Robotics & AI in Architecture for Future Homes

So, will AI replace the architect? With the aid of AI, the role of the architect or designer will change. Artificial intelligence will have the ability to generate rapid mass production in the future.

AI Apocalypse

AI systems are able to learn better ways of exemplifying data without human intervention and build models that match human values. When humans can't decide how to designate values, AI systems could identify configurations and create suitable models by themselves.
