A Cut Above: Adding Next-level Protection for Next-generation Welding
By partnering with Roboworld since their first Cobot rolled off the line on Day 1, all of Vectis' robotic welding systems and teach pendants have included Robosuits® and Pendant Armor®.
What Technologies Is Amazon Developing to Keep Workers Safe?
The company has dedicated robotics and advanced technologies labs and hires specialists to develop and test possibilities. Here are some of the latest robotic creations made to improve worker safety at Amazon.
Smart Floating Arms
They move like snakes and reach places that are too narrow or dangerous for humans. The robust robotic arms of the Tokyo-based company HiBot take inspection, maintenance and repair to new levels.
RoboCup 2018: S&T Test Methods Used to Evaluate Rescue Robots
Without standards and benchmarks for developing and testing machines, there are no clearly-defined rules by which the robots can be compared.
Protecting your Robot with Robosuit
A Robosuit® is a conformal, custom-fitted cover that protects a robot from extreme manufacturing (or operating) conditions. It fits over the robots castings and servo motors without impacting the robots articulation or work-envelope (reach).
How Drones Can Change the Way we Drive
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.
Lack of Machine Guarding Again Named to OSHA'S Top 10 Most Cited Violations List
The absence of required machine safeguarding remains a perennial member of OSHAs Top 10 Most Cited Violations, and 2017 was no exception. It was named number eight on the list with a total of 1,933 violations.
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.

Schmalz Technology Development - The Right Gripper for Every Task
In order to interact with their environment and perform the tasks, lightweight robots, like all industrial robots, depend on tools - and in many cases these are vacuum grippers. These form the interface to the workpiece and are therefore a decisive part of the overall system. With their help, the robots can pick up, move, position, process, sort, stack and deposit a wide variety of goods and components. Vacuum gripping systems allow particularly gentle handling of workpieces, a compact and space-saving system design and gripping from above. Precisely because the object does not have to be gripped, the vacuum suction cupenables gapless positioning next to each other.
