US politicians debating rules for autonomous delivery robots

January 30, 2019 by Sam Francis

starship 1

Autonomous delivery robots are being discussed in the US state of Washington by local politicians who want to draw up regulations for the gray area of mobile machines moving along pavements in the country.

More and more companies are developing autonomous delivery robots and they are finding customers and creating a burgeoning market.

However, while they are currently mostly to be found within one organization’s grounds – such as a university, for example – the prospect of large numbers of autonomous delivery robots on the roads and streets, mingling with pedestrians, is something that is said to be a unclear area in terms of legislation.  [Read more…] about US politicians debating rules for autonomous delivery robots

Market trend: Grocery e-commerce investments could lead to global invasion by delivery robots

January 30, 2019 by Sam Francis

commonsense robotics

With investment in grocery e-commerce growing at an alarming rate, a massive number of delivery robots of all shapes and sizes are plotting to take over the world 

Being able to order your groceries online and have it delivered to your home is not new, of course.

But behind the scenes, or screens, a lot of things are changing.

From the moment a customer clicks “Buy” and pays through their device, almost everything is different. From the artificial intelligence-driven digital platform, through the highly automated logistics and supply chain, right up to home delivery by a robot, a huge amount of innovation is taking place.  [Read more…] about Market trend: Grocery e-commerce investments could lead to global invasion by delivery robots

Hyundai Robotics signs a joint venture agreement with HGZN

January 30, 2019 by Anna

Hyundai Robotics has signed a joint venture agreement for the production, sales, and after-sales services of industrial robots with Jiangsu Hagong Intelligent Robot (Ha Gong Zhi Neng [HGZN]) in China.

Under the agreement, the two parties plan to build a smart factory that is capable of manufacturing four different models by the end of 2019, and manufacture and sell 17,000 units by 2022.

The new agreement with the no. 1 auto welding company in China has provided Hyundai Robotics with the opportunity to capitalise on HGZN’s local sales network and secure manufacturing bases in China, which will serve as a bridge for Hyundai Robotics’ access to the Chinese robotics market.

Senecio Robotics ships AI robotic machine to help combat mosquito-borne diseases

January 30, 2019 by Anna

Senecio Robotics has received a positive patent examination for its mosquito robotic solution, making it the sole company with a positive examination for mosquito robotic sex sorting.

Senecio’s robotic sex sorting module is based on deep-learning technology, with mosquitoes being entered on the right side, with automated loading of male-only (none biting) mosquitoes on the left side into release boxes, after classification and sorting.

The female mosquito is the deadliest animal on the planet and transmits diseases such as Malaria, Dengue, Yellow fever, West Nile, Zika, etc. killing hundreds of thousands of people per year and hospitalising millions.
