Cyngn modifies autonomous mobile robot to work outdoors

by

Cyngn, a developer of autonomous vehicle technology, says its AI-powered autonomous driving solution, DriveMod, will now be able to operate in outdoor environments.

Organizations will be able to send the DriveMod Tugger on missions that go indoors and outdoors, giving facility managers even more opportunity to automate repetitive workflows and shift employees over to more interesting, higher-value tasks.

As modern warehouses and manufacturing complexes grow ever larger – many surpassing 200,000 square feet and spanning multiple buildings – the challenge of efficiently moving materials from point A to point B becomes increasingly complex.

Systraplan shows off automatic tread booking with robot

by

Faster extrusion speeds and the need for greater accuracy encouraged tyre manufacturers to replace manual loading with automatic tread booking systems. More and more booker loading systems have been installed to overcome the problems associated with manual loading.

Tread deformation is a good example of this. Improper handling can cause transverse and longitudinal deformation. In particular, the size and weight of truck treads make it difficult for operators to handle the treads properly and appropriately.

Automatic tread booking avoids the disadvantages associated with manual tread handling. [Read more…] about Systraplan shows off automatic tread booking with robot

Roborock launches ‘all-in-one’ robot that sweeps and mops

by

Roborock, a provider of intelligent home robotics, has launched the intelligent sweeping and mopping all-in-one robot Roborock Qrevo Slim, equipped with an innovative 3D camera module for navigation and obstacle avoidance using the REAL3 Time-of-Flight (ToF) imager by Infineon Technologies.

Time of flight is the measurement of the time taken by an object, particle or wave to travel a distance through a medium.

The technology allows to reduce size and increase reliability. Compared to the body height of traditional sweeping and mopping robots of around 100 mm, the overall height of the Roborock Qrevo Slim is only 82 mm, allowing it to pass through lower and narrower spaces while providing high reliability.
