Where Innovation Meets Imagination
On average, 4.5 accidents per driver per year occur in the fleet industry. Any of which could be fatal, taking their lives.
Reasons? There are many, but they can be generally classified as driver-side problems or system-side.
Employing the right UX design strategies minimizes both drive-side and system-side problems to a great extent, improving overall driver safety in the fleet industry. [Read more…] about 4 UX Design Strategies for Improving Driver Safety in the Fleet Industry
QYSEA Technology has released its latest “compact and highly capable” underwater drone, FIFISH V-EVO.
The new drone is claimed to be “the first underwater drone to feature a 4K 60 FPS camera with 360-degree omnidirectional movement”, allowing filmmakers and explorers to capture increased detail and smooth slow-motion videos in ultra-high definition, as deep as 100 meters below the surface.
The rapidly growing market for compact underwater drones is being “revolutionized” by QYSEA, according to the company, which manufactures small remotely-operated underwater machines. [Read more…] about QYSEA releases new ‘compact and highly capable’ underwater drone
Self-driving cars are one of the most revolutionary technological advancements of our time. As with any new technology, safety is paramount for these vehicles. To ensure the safety of their passengers and those around them, self-driving cars have various features designed to keep everyone safe.
With advances in technology, self-driving cars will be safer than human operated vehicles. In the US, 30,000 lives are lost each year in motor vehicle accidents, often due to fatigue, human error, and drunk driving.
Autonomous vehicles function without these behaviors, potentially saving thousands of lives. Here is a look at some of the advanced safety features of self-driving vehicles. [Read more…] about Safety Features of Self-Driving Cars

Locus, a technology company developing solutions for last-mile logistics (not to be confused with Locus Robotics), has launched its Delivery Linked Checkout, a “first-of-its-kind” integrated capability that enables retail businesses to achieve profitability in their last-mile logistics.
By deploying this new feature, retailers can deliver orders on customer-preferred timelines while maintaining optimal capacity and service efficiencies.
The surge in e-commerce deliveries, coupled with the heightened customer expectations for more efficient and predictable delivery options, has added yet another layer to last-mile complexities. [Read more…] about Locus launches new system for optimizing e-commerce delivery schedules
Droplet microfluidics is a recent trend of laboratory automation technologies, which allow scientists to explore the biological world at an unprecedented resolution and throughput.
The new infrastructure is powered by innovative instrumentation, software as well as the consumable reagents and chips. In this context, plastic chips play a key role in enabling these applications, as they ensure a consistent and scalable droplet production.

The National Highway Transport and Safety Administration (NHTSA) recently launched investigations into Tesla’s 580,000 vehicles over its passenger game feature capabilities at the center of its dashboard.
However, the video game capabilities on Tesla vehicles are not a new feature. It has existed in all Tesla models released between 2017 to 2022, including models 3, S, X, and Y. [Read more…] about NHTSA Opens Investigation into Tesla Vehicles Over Game Feature
Autonomous navigation systems developer BlueBotics, which was recently acquired by ZAPI, is heading to Modex 2022 to showcase a unique multi-brand fleet demo of vehicles driven by its ANT technology.
The company’s booth will feature several different brands of vehicles, spanning automated guided vehicles and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) from across the ANT navigation ecosystem.
This example fleet operation will be the main draw of the company’s show stand. The vehicles will run a small pallet-moving operation, all controlled by one ANT server software project. [Read more…] about BlueBotics to showcase ANT navigation with full AGV fleet demo at Modex
For automated guided vehicles and autonomous mobile robots to operate, they need to know where they are, where they need to go, and how to get there.
While simple “line following” technologies have their place, they have high installation overheads and, because they require changes to permanent infrastructure, do not lend themselves to adaptation to new requirements.
Natural feature matching navigation is based on using permanent features along the route of the AMR, is easier to install and more flexible for future needs. But how does it work and why does it work so well? [Read more…] about Seeing the wood for the trees: Why natural feature matching navigation works so well for mobile robots
Mecademic has released the latest version of the firmware – 8.4 – for its tiny Meca500 industrial robotic arm.
The company says this update “prioritizes the features most requested by our user community and is provided free of charge”.
The update enables the robot with multi-rotation with cartesian moves. [Read more…] about Mecademic releases new firmware for its tiny robot
