Advanced Robotics and Automation: Reducing Car Accidents and Saving Lives on the Road
Car accidents are a leading cause of death and injury worldwide, with millions of people affected by them each year. Despite the best efforts of law enforcement, education campaigns, and technology advances, the numbers continue to rise. However, recent developments in robotics and automation technology have the potential to reduce the frequency and severity of…

The Benefits of Cobots in Industrial Production
Robots in industrial production can help human employees lighten their workload and – indirectly – even protect them. item America is exploring these and other benefits of human-robot collaboration. Although it’s nearly impossible to imagine our modern everyday lives without technical equipment, humans and machines are still often seen as rivals; however, this ‘either/or’ mindset…

The Role of Robotics and Automation in Industry 4.0
As the global manufacturing industry enters its fourth revolution, innovations such as robotics, automation and artificial intelligence (AI) are set to take over. (1) The number of active industrial robots worldwide is increasing by approximately 14% year on year, and automation continues to create new types of robots with improved utility and function.

What You Need to Know About Fixing an Engine Misfire
When one of the cylinders in an engine doesn’t function properly, that’s referred to as an engine misfire. The amount of power that your engine is able to produce will significantly drop. Identifying the cause of a misfire can be challenging, but once you’ve figured out the problem, in some cases, there are simple solutions…

Automating image-based inspection with artificial intelligence
High demands on products as well as high time and cost pressure are decisive competitive factors across all industries and sectors. Whether in the food or automotive industry quality, safety and speed are today more than ever before factors that determine the success of a company. Zero-defect production is the goal. But how can it…

Autonomous cars and intelligent road systems improve road safety
Last year, there was a 2 percent reduction in the number of road fatalities in the US. One of the reasons for this drop is the increasing use of automated driver assistance systems now fitted into most new vehicles. By minimizing the effects of human error, these additions can help to reduce the number of…

How driverless shuttle vehicles can get safely from A to B
Project 3F, a consortium of six partners led by Bosch, has presented its results for automated driving in the low-speed range. (See video below.) Their main finding is that the vehicle can continue driving despite deviations on the specified route and technical failures in the system. The transport of people and goods were tested on…

Scania tests autonomous truck in complex manoeuvre in traffic
Scania has conducted a test in which an autonomous made a complex manoeuvre on a relatively busy road. Autonomous vehicles and advanced driver assistance systems need robust and precise positioning to enable reliable operations. This is especially important in the early transitional phase of the technology, when other vehicles around it will not be automated.

SICK launches new superfast camera system for industrial processes
SICK has launched a new superfast camera system for industrial environments. The sensor specialist says the new “EventCam” can eliminate spontaneous errors in the manufacturing process. This industrial-grade 2D camera brings clarity when unexplained gripping, handling, and positioning problems arise or when unreproducible installation errors or machine downtimes occur.
