Rivelin Robotics CEO hails Hardware as a Service as ‘transformative concept’

by

By Robert Bush, CEO, Rivelin Robotics

Across the ever-evolving landscape of technology and business, Hardware as a Service (HaaS) is proving to be a transformative concept. The world at large has become familiar and comfortable with software delivered as a service commodity via subscription model both for professional organisations and individuals.

This has laid the foundation for a similar approach to hardware service contracts, which are increasingly being viewed as a savvy way to scale up in-house capabilities without huge capital expenditure.

This innovative approach to managing hardware needs is changing the way many manufacturing organisations handle their hardware portfolios and associated service contracts. [Read more…] about Rivelin Robotics CEO hails Hardware as a Service as ‘transformative concept’

Deep Robotics launches new quadruped robot

by

Deep Robotics, a developer of quadrupedal robots, has launched its X30 quadruped robot, a “flagship product” designed to meet core industry needs in multiple fields, including inspection of power stations, factories, pipeline corridors, emergency rescue, fire detection, scientific research and more.

X30 incorporates Deep Robotics’ “unique fusion perception technology that enables it to rapidly traverse obstacles, navigate open riser industrial stairs in challenging, changing environments, conduct autonomous inspection day and night in any weather, and overcome other difficulties in an ever-growing number of scenarios”.

X30 is also able to respond quickly to unexpected situations or handle tasks at a moment’s notice. Compared to earlier editions of the quadruped robot, the operating temperature range of X30 has been extended to between minus 20°C and plus 55°C, greatly broadening the environment and climatic conditions in which it can operate.

Carnegie Mellon researchers demo robotic hand costing less than $2,000

by

With prices ranging from $16,000 to $150,000, the cost of robotic hands has stunted progress in manipulation research.

Even as machine learning and artificial intelligence enable robots to acquire more skills and accomplish more tasks, the lack of suitable, reliable and affordable hardware has limited the transfer of these gains out of simulation and into the real world.

For example, robotic hands that can mimic a human’s more closely than the more affordable grippers currently used in labs can operate the same tools as people and accomplish more tasks. [Read more…] about Carnegie Mellon researchers demo robotic hand costing less than $2,000

Electric Sheep acquires two landscaping companies as part of ‘forward-thinking’ strategy

by

Electric Sheep, who is creating the first large-scale outdoor maintenance company powered by artificial intelligence and robotics, has made “two key acquisitions” of landscaping businesses – Phenix Landscape and Complete Landscaping.

Electric Sheep is an outdoor maintenance company powered by artificial intelligence and robotics. It acquires traditional outdoor service providers and progressively transforms operations by deploying its proprietary AI software and robots. For 2023, Electric Sheep is on track to grow revenues 8x since implementing this model.

Nag Murty, CEO and co-founder of Electric Sheep, says: “We are aggressively exploring landscaping businesses in the top 50 metro areas with a high rate of growth and plenty of turf to maximize the impact of automating mowing.” [Read more…] about Electric Sheep acquires two landscaping companies as part of ‘forward-thinking’ strategy
