The Importance of Investment in Robotic Automation

Most factories in the world are labor driven. With labor shortage crisis accelerated by Covid, which led to millions of unfilled jobs, manufacturers are in extreme pain and are unable to address customer demand.

Reinventing Intralogistics

A comprehensive approach to automation requires networking - not just between the individual components. Because for something really ground-breaking to emerge, already the development must be aligned.

What's the Difference Between AGVs and AMRs?

We have been hearing a lot about AGVs and AMRs in warehouses and fulfillment centers. But do you understand the differences between these two? Let's find out from the experts.

Automation for All

Automation - including the use of autonomous mobile robots (AMR) - can play an important role in businesses of any size and it doesn't have to come with a ridiculous price tag or disruption.

6 Emerging Trends in Marine Robotics

Recent innovations are transforming the field of marine robots. Aquatic robotics is already a cutting-edge sector, taking complex technologies and applying them to underwater tasks.

Simulating Heat Transfer in Power Cables Using the Finite Element Method (FEM)

Choosing the right cable to use in any application depends on many parameters. One of the most important is its ability to thermally resist a maximum imposed current.

Why Are You Still Manually Programming Your Robot?

Robots were first introduced to manufacturing assembly lines in 1978. Since then, the hardware (mechanics and control systems) has improved significantly. Yet the way these robots are programmed has not changed very much.

Medical Exoskeleton for Rehabilitation

Harmonic Bionics has developed a patented robotic actuator, which uses a load cell that is mechanically isolated from any extraneous loads. The result is that each load cell can sense the force exerted by only the joint of the robot it is mounted to.

Working With Robots With Different Levels of Collaboration

By working with robots, employees can gain valuable technical skills and perform their jobs more efficiently. There are varying levels of collaboration that businesses can implement and strategies they can use to make sure collaborative robots are safe.

Robotic Disruption in US Workforce Leads to New Opportunities and Challenges

The workforce is becoming increasingly robotic, and that shift is happening faster than many anticipated. Here's a look at the opportunities and challenges that creates.

Engineers Meet Industry Demand By Growing Their Robotics & IAS Expertise

For engineers with a traditional background in mechanical, electrical or computer engineering, specializing in IAS can accelerate their career progression and potentially make them more money.

High Performance Inertial Sensors for Robotic Systems

The next generation of robotic systems require high performance inertial sensors but also demand high volume, low cost solutions.

Smart, Compact Electromechanical Actuators Improve Productivity and Space Efficiency for Industrial AGVs

The more functionality AGV designers can pack into a small footprint, the greater will be the value to the end-user. Choosing the right actuation technology is critical to that value, and AGV designers are increasingly choosing smart electromechanical actuators.

ABB Robotics showcases future of retail using recovered marine plastic at London's Selfridges

Iconic London department store to showcase future role of robotics at point of consumption. ABB robot 3D additive printing will allow personalized items be ordered on site by customers and produced in-situ, ready for purchase.

Konoike Transport and OSARO Team Up to Pilot Japan's First Fully Automated Warehouse

Pilot aims to streamline handoff from warehouse inventory robots to picking robots so that businesses can automate and scale-up e-commerce operations despite national manual labor shortage
