Kuka showcases innovative medical project at the 2018 European Robotics Forum

March 15, 2018 by Anna

Kuka is showcasing an innovative research project from the medical sector at the European Robotics Forum (ERF) in Tampere, Finland, this week.

Together with the University of Bremen and Chemnitz University of Technology, FACT Software and CAT Production, Kuka is presenting an application for the simulation of one of the most challenging steps during an operation: implanting an artificial hip.

Performing the operation in the virtual world with haptic feedback via the Kuka LBR iiwa lightweight robot is an important component in the training of future surgeons as well as in the planning stages prior to an operation.

5G cloud robotics solution shown at MWC 2018

March 15, 2018 by Anna

Ericsson, TIM and Comau, have displayed their cloud robotics solution, as a first implementation result of ‘5G for Italy’ collaboration agreement, signed last year, to explore the potential of 5G for Industry 4.0 and Smart Manufacturing.

At MWC 2018 in Barcelona at the end of February, Ericsson, TIM and Comau demonstrated the benefits of 5G-based industrial virtualization through a pioneering proof of concept implemented in Italy – which showcases the factory of the future, that will be realized through the digitization of the manufacturing process and plants enabled by 5G networks and all their building blocks.

Through the combination of TIM and Ericsson’s leadership in 5G networks and technologies and Comau’s leadership in automated manufacturing solutions, this collaboration aims to prove the benefits of advanced solutions adoption for industrial automation.

SAT4M2M and Fujitsu Electronics team up for satellite IoT communication

March 15, 2018 by Anna

SAT4M2M and Fujitsu Electronics are to cooperate on the development of a dedicated module enabling IoT communications via satellites.

The cooperation between the two companies aims at the design, development and production of a new range of IoT LPWA (Low Power Wide Area) modules for Internet of Things (IoT) markets.

It is intended that the module will enable communication to Low Earth Orbits (LEO) satellite payloads according to the SAT4M2M developed protocol of communication and enable global coverage with several IoT messages a day and have a high capacity serving thousands of connected objects simultaneously.

The modules will be designed to have low battery consumption, giving over five years of autonomous operation using small batteries and will easily integrate with terrestrial LPWA solutions (Sigfox, Lora, Weightless and NB IoT), GNSS capabilities (GPS, Glonass and Galileo) and SPI/I2C sensors.
