Where Innovation Meets Imagination
Waypoint Robotics has launched the MAV3K (pronounced May-vick) industrial grade autonomous mobile robot (AMR). It has a 3000lb carrying capacity and omnidirectional mobility.
MAV3K comes equipped with Waypoint’s Dispatcher software, allowing it to be set up and autonomously operating in under 15 minutes.
MAV3K’s batteries keep it moving through the longest workday and Waypoint’s EnZone wireless charging system enables MAV3K to charge itself.
RG Group has become the first US company to agree on a distribution and integration partnership for Doosan’s collaborative robots.
Doosan Robotics says its collaborative robots can be useful in different industries and processes ranging from assembly and inspection to gluing and packaging.
The company claims to have “the world’s most diversified lineup of collaborative robots” which boast high-performance torque sensors and the industry-leading collision detection technology. [Read more…] about Doosan Robotics signs up RG Group as first US distributor and integrator
Traditional industrial robots tend to be very large and potentially dangerous, which is why they tend to be caged off and kept separate from human workers.
But a new company called Veo Robotics says it has the technology to transform traditional industrial robotic arms into safe machines that humans can work alongside, within close proximity.
Veo’s solution could make every industrial robot a collaborative robot. The term “collaborative” is recognized by international standards organizations and usually applies to much smaller, newer types of robots which are specifically designed to safe for humans to work with.

Nidec Corporation is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of industrial components, with annual revenues typically in the region of $11 billion.
The Japanese company’s technology can be found in products ranging from robots to computers, from cars to washing machines, and beyond.
There probably isn’t a machine builder on Earth who has not used or has at least considered using Nidec components at concept or production stage. In the computing sector, for example, Nidec is said to have the largest global market share for the tiny spindle motors that power hard-disk drives. Which means that the computer you’re reading this on is likely to have a Nidec component inside it. [Read more…] about Spinning in infinity: Exclusive insight into industrial technology giant Nidec
ABB’s latest financial report shows the strength of the industrial giant’s robotics division, according to CEO Ulrich Spiesshofer.
The company is reporting an increase in revenues of 4 percent, and puts it down to “strong growth in robotics and motion”.
ABB also singled out its industrial internet of things platform, ABB Ability, saying it currently “drives growth across all divisions”. [Read more…] about Latest ABB financial report shows strength of robotics division

Believe it or not, almost everyone from us is leveraging advanced technologies like artificial intelligence and deep learning in our daily life. Whether it will be in the form of Siri or you are making a query through Google-like search engines. This isn’t the kind of AI we saw in Tony Stark’s inventions, this is much more than that. This AI gives the product like Watson which helps humanity by finding a cure for diseases like cancer.
The digital spaceship is fueled by technologies like artificial intelligence and big data leading us towards the automation where most of the business operations are optimized incorporating it with machines. The technology of automation is estimated to touch $190.61 billion by the end of 2025 transforming healthcare into the manufacturing sector.

Since RoboticsAndAutomationNews.com was launched a couple of years ago, we’ve learned a lot.
One of the things we’ve learned is that there are many interesting trade shows around the world related to the industries we cover.
The technologies within robotics and automation are present in just about every industry and business sector on Earth, so our content could be highly diverse, but we tend to concentrate on manufacturing and logistics, although not exclusively – we do take a look at other areas part of the time.

An industrial design award can launch a designer’s career, so is highly sought after, and there are plenty of design competitions out there to enter if you’re interested.
Although most of the competitions emphasise consumer product design, and often software-oriented products, the industrial product categories are also extensively included.
And if you can’t find one that has a category that seems to suit your category now, if you wait long enough, someone will organise one. [Read more…] about The 10 most highly prized industrial design awards
In what might be a sign that traditional industry is increasingly becoming digital, the developer of an industrial estate is making telecommunications and data processing a fundamental component of its offering.
Traditionally, the priority for industrial estates have been to provide good road and other transport networks. Nowadays, data networks are sometimes even more important to companies of all types – including those in the manufacturing sector.
Bannon Investment Group, which is developing the 85-acre Elk Grove Technology Park near Chicago O’Hare Airport, says the estate will one of the largest of its kind in the US. [Read more…] about Billion-dollar industrial estate to feature data centre infrastructure as part of its offering
