Perrone Robotics granted new patent for modular autonomy platform

March 10, 2018 by David Edwards

Perrone Robotics says its new patent grant headlines recent company advancements, including a ground-breaking machine learning research collaboration, research and development on diverse hardware platforms

Perrone Robotics, a developer of autonomy and robotics, says it has made a number of advances toward the commercial development and deployment of its modular autonomy and robotics software platform, led by a new patent directed to autonomous car applications.

The company says its MAX robotics platform enables companies at “any stage to quickly design and build a broad range of robotic products and applications”.

The company was awarded a continuation of its earlier US patent (No. 9,195,233) that addresses the ability of its MAX platform to control a wide range of autonomous vehicles including robots, carts, shuttles, automobiles, trucks, aircraft, and watercraft.  [Read more…] about Perrone Robotics granted new patent for modular autonomy platform

Infographic: On the way to a world of self-driving cars

March 10, 2018 by David Edwards

By Kate Riley, TechRogers.com

Though many of us might have heard about self-driving cars, the idea has mostly been restricted to daydreams and books and some movies.

However, all this is supposed to break into reality within the next few years, possibly months.

The entire world is waiting with bated breath as Google and others to put the finishing touches on their much talked about self-driving cars.

It certainly is a technological marvel and there are quite a few interesting technologies involved.

For example, self-driving cars have some of the best GPRS and navigation systems. This helps a lot in navigating the vehicles through tough and difficult terrain without running the risk of accidents and other mishaps.

They also come with some of the most advanced anti-collision devices which ensures that even when moving through heavy traffic, the vehicles would be in a position to come to a grinding halt or give way to other vehicles if it is travelling at a specified speed.

More of the technologies are listed below in the infographic.

What difference could the seamless integration of pneumatic systems and process control mean to you?

March 10, 2018 by David Edwards

Emerson says its ASCO Numatics 580 CHARMs node enables simple Electronic Marshalling of pneumatic systems.

Pneumatic systems are an essential part of many process plants, in industries such as chemical, life science and food & beverage, particularly those where ancillary machines are used.

Although an essential part of the process, these machines are often stand-alone and are not connected back to the process control architecture.  [Read more…] about What difference could the seamless integration of pneumatic systems and process control mean to you?

Infographic: Fundamentals of motion control

March 10, 2018 by David Edwards

Contributed by PowerJackMotion.com, which specialises in the production of electric motors, linear actuators, gearboxes for use in automation, solar energy, smart household appliances, robots, and more

The tremendously growing popularity of motion controlled devices has created some truly unique opportunities for young motion control enthusiasts.

So if you are passionate about creating machines and systems that automate mechanical tasks and get things done easier and faster, you could use some clarification on what motion control components are, how they work and how you can use them in creative ways to reduce human effort and increase efficiency.

The right motion control architecture is central to the efficacy of your project. To achieve precision motor control, a number of critical factors need to be considered, such as choosing the right motion control components and their right placement.  [Read more…] about Infographic: Fundamentals of motion control
