Veo Robotics launches new solution that aims to make all industrial robots collaborative

November 13, 2019 by David Edwards

Startup company Veo Robotics has launched its first commercially available product – FreeMove, a hardware-and-software solution which is said to be able to transform standard or traditional industrial robots into collaborative robots. 

Traditionally, industrial robotic arms have been treated with some trepidation, and are still always caged off or otherwise kept separate from human workers.

Their size, weight and speed make industrial robotic arms potentially very dangerous, and without any programming about human workers and how to avoid endangering them, they can be lethal. [Read more…] about Veo Robotics launches new solution that aims to make all industrial robots collaborative

Yandex testing delivery robot

November 10, 2019 by Mai Tao

Yandex, the largest online search engine company in Russia, has started testing a delivery robot. (See video below.)

The company has been following in the footsteps of similarly large search engine companies around the world – such as Google in the US, and Baidu in China – by investing in research and development of autonomous vehicles.

Earlier this year, Yandex signed a partnership agreement with Hyundai Mobis on self-driving cars which aims to build a self-driving platform that can be used by any car manufacturer or taxi fleet. [Read more…] about Yandex testing delivery robot

How do DC/DC converters work in hybrid and electric cars?

July 4, 2019 by Liv

Within every electric vehicle is a battery that outputs a certain voltage.

Given that this voltage might not be appropriate for the various devices being driven, we need to install another device along the signal path.

This device is known as a DC/DC converter, and without it, the modern electric car wouldn’t be possible. [Read more…] about How do DC/DC converters work in hybrid and electric cars?

New Mercedes-AMG four-cylinder turbo engine now in series production

June 25, 2019 by Anna

The completely newly developed Mercedes-AMG 2.0-litre M 139 engine is the world’s most powerful turbocharged four-cylinder engine in series production, claims Daimler.

With this engine, Mercedes-AMG has even exceeded the previously most powerful M 133 by 30 kW (41 hp).

Maximum torque has also increased from 475 to up to 500 nm. With an output per litre of up to 155 kW (211 hp), the new Mercedes-AMG high-performance turbo engine  ranks ahead of many well-known super-sports car engines, says Daimler.
