Patent Strategy Is Critical for Robotics Innovations
Patents are extremely important for robotics companies in all stages. For early-stage companies, patents are often the only way for investors to place a value on a companys technology during development. In this way, patents can make up a significantly greater portion of enterprise value for early-stage robotics companies.
Warehouse robot startup Kindred signs up the Gap to test its first commercial product
Nick Statt for The Verge: Kindreds new production model robots, now called Kindred Sort, have been operating in a pilot program at a Gap warehouse, with plans to expand the fleet of robots to help the retailers full fulfillment network down the line.
BCC Research Robotics Report
The combination of new applications for robotics for automotive, military and healthcare applications and lower cost sensor technology is causing significant growth in the sensors for robotics market, according to BCC Researchs recent report on the topic.
Why Human-Controlled, Force-Multiplying Robots Are the Future of Work on Earth
Ben Wolff, CEO of Sarcos via IEEE Spectrum:
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.
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.
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.
Wind River Brings Safety-Critical Expertise to Functional Safety for Industrial IoT
With the accelerating growth of the Internet of Things (IoT), it is increasingly important to identify and implement safety-related systems for smart grids, connected vehicles, robotics, industrial control systems, smart factories, and more.
The Software-Based Platform for Motion Control, Machine Vision, and Programmable Logic Controllers
Besides being expensive and proprietary, migrating to newer products is challenging when hardware components are involved.

Industrial Robotics - Featured Product
Piab's Kenos KCS Gripper
Piab's Kenos KCS gripper enables a collaborative robot to handle just about anything at any time. Combining Piab's proprietary air-driven COAX vacuum technology with an easily replaceable technical foam that molds itself around any surface or shape, the gripper can be used to safely grip, lift and handle any object. Standard interface (ISO) adapters enable the whole unit to be attached to any cobot type on the market with a body made in a lightweight 3D printed material. Approved by Universal Robots as a UR+ end effector.
