SoftBank's $5.4B ABB Robotics Deal: Why IT Service Providers Should Treat Robotics as a Core Practice

As autonomy and embodied intelligence mature, IT service providers may not need to participate in every layer, but those who develop focused capabilities—whether in advisory, integration, or managed operations—will be better placed as demand grows.

Advanced Ground Robotics Need Advanced Networking Solutions

By the end of this guide, you will have a basic understanding of the components needed to set up a mesh network, strategies to overcome common roadblocks for long-range, ground networks and the steps required to get the network up and running.

CoaXPress over Fiber

Fiber optics transmit data as pulses of light through strands of fiber made of glass or plastic. When bundled with hundreds of other strands, the resulting fiber optic cable will transmit more data at faster speeds and over longer distances than high-grade copper cables.

Private 5G Connectivity and AI Technologies Accelerate the Transformation From Automation to Autonomy

This article looks at private 5G (known as P5G) and how it supports advanced and emerging technologies, including AI cameras, enabling manufacturers to drive more functionality closer to the edge.

Hypervisors in Robotics

Communications are much faster since you are no longer communicating across cables. Instead, communication happens through a low-latency shared memory space with deterministic time synchronization of operations.

Readers Choice 2020: Using Mesh Network Applications for Robotics

Many companies make mesh network products for home Wi-Fi systems. Those are indeed valid and popular applications, but there are ample opportunities to use mesh networks for robotics, too.

How Verizon 5G is Powering the Future of Robotics

5G, especially when combined with MEC (Mobile or Multi-access Edge Compute), can fundamentally change robotics. With massive and low-latency connectivity, robots can offload their computing and intelligence to edge servers that have much greater capacity and scalability.
