Lidar developer Ouster backed by Cox Enterprises raises $27 million

December 11, 2017 by David Edwards

ouster lidar 1

A startup company called Ouster has raised $27 million in its Series A funding round, led by Cox Enterprises, a diversified company which has a very large automotive business unit. 

Ouster is a developer of light detection and radar systems, or lidar, which is said to be a critical component in many new technologies, including autonomous cars. A lidar unit can often be seen on top of self-driving cars, and looks a bit like a siren light.

Ouster’s new product is called OS1 Lidar, which is likely to find wide application as a perception technology for the autonomous vehicle and robotics sectors.  [Read more…] about Lidar developer Ouster backed by Cox Enterprises raises $27 million

Happy Holidays from Robotics and Automation News

December 11, 2017 by Sam Francis

happy holidays

Yes, it’s nearly that time of the year when we all – or most of us anyway – take a break from the sheer drudgery that is working life at Robotics and Automation News. 

Your job might be exciting, a labour of love, in which case, good for you, and you’ll be back soon.

It’s probably a little early to wish you Happy Holidays, but we don’t have a lot of staff here and if we don’t put this message up now, we might forget as we get busy during the days ahead. So, Happy Holidays!

And, if you haven’t already done so, please subscribe to our site – it helps us pay the bills and keep going.

There’s not many websites like ours which prioritise the technology we believe you are interested in, judging by our increasing readership and what the analytics show as being popular articles.

 

We know that many of you are interested in the stories we publish and, looking around on the web, we don’t see many other websites covering these subjects as consistently as we do.

That’s not to show off – just that we want to bring you stories that give you an added advantage in your decision-making, stories which help you become better-informed, stories which we really hope helps you in your job and, by extension, your life in general. We would feel very proud if we can do that.

So, if you want to help us keep bringing you information which you find useful, interesting and – hopefully – entertaining as well, please do subscribe.

We’ll try and entice you with offers, such as complimentary tickets to events and perhaps discounts for various products and services – which are all part of our plans going forward – but to subscribe even without those additional incentives is to show that you care about money, just like we do.

And to those of you who have already subscribed, we thank you from the depths of our hearts. We appreciate you more than we can show you. The best way we think we can begin to repay you is by continuing to publish content which we really hope will help you make money – because that’s what it’s all about.

Money, money, money. That’s what it’s all about. That’s what you want and that’s what we want. And good will. That too. Peace and good will to all readers. Yes, money and massive goodwill payments. (No, good will, not goodwill – Ed.) Oh ok, good will too, why not? Peace, good will, and goodwill payments, and plain old straightforward money – that’s what it’s all about. Share dividends as well of course. And end-of-year salary bonuses. And…

Anyway…

If you have any suggestions for articles you want us to write, or subjects you want us to look into, or just general suggestions and comments about the website and our coverage, please feel free to send us an email – costs nothing and we always enjoy hearing from readers.

logistics for manufacturing crop

The European Commission is to accelerate the automation of intra-factory logistics of small and medium enterprises, through a project called Logistics for Manufacturing SMEs, or L4MS.

The EC says L4MS will “completely digitalize logistics automation in factories”.

Initially, the plan was for L4MS to conceive three pilots and 20 cross-border application experiments to demonstrate “highly autonomous, configurable and hybrid, or human-robot, logistics solutions”, driven by the business needs of the manufacturing SMEs and mid-caps.  [Read more…] about European Commission to accelerate intra-factory logistics for small businesses

The global effects of robotics and automation technologies is forecast to include the removal of as many as 800 million people from their jobs by 2030, according to a new report. Seventy million of them will be in the US. 

McKinsey, the consultancy firm which conducted the research, says the development of automation technologies is “sparked much public concern”.

In its report, Jobs Lost, Jobs Gained: Workforce Transitions in a Time of Automation, McKinsey Global Institute says that, while automation is not a new phenomenon and fears surrounding its effects date back centuries, the situation seems different now.  [Read more…] about Robotics and automation to replace 800 million human workers by 2030, says new report
