The term “avatar” might be most familiar as a picture used on social media, but in the technology world, it can mean much more.
When James Cameron’s hit movie “Avatar” came to theaters in 2009, it introduced a concept already cooking in the technology community: for a connected operator to be able to fully remotely opperate the movements of a robot.
In the movie, the robots were biological, but the technology in the real world is connected to more traditional robots with circuits and computers. These also are called avatars. [Read more…] about International work puts robot avatars on the move
ABB Robotics and Mettler Toledo, a supplier of precision instruments and services, have signed an agreement to offer an innovative solution that seamlessly integrates ABB robots with LabX, Mettler Toledo’s laboratory instrument management software.
The combined solution will enable greater levels of efficient and high-quality automated laboratory workflows across a range of industries, making research, testing, and quality control more flexible, while accelerating time-to-market and addressing critical labor shortages.
Jose Manuel Collados, manager of ABB service robotics, says: “In combining Mettler Toledo laboratory equipment with ABB’s collaborative robots, communicated through the LabX platform, we will support operations and enable the highest traceability, productivity, and data management in the industry.

Researchers in Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Institute are developing a modular robot that can creep inside natural gas pipelines to map where pipes are, detect decrepit or leaking pipes, and, when necessary, repair the pipe by applying a resin coating along its inner wall.
“We don’t even know where all the old pipes are,” says Howie Choset, the Kavčić-Moura Professor of Computer Science, who directs the project in the Biorobotics Lab with research scientist Lu Li.
The confined spaces of pipes, largely inaccessible to people, are a natural place to deploy robots. Over the years, CMU researchers and spinout companies have developed a number of schemes and robots for inspecting sewer, gas distribution and nuclear power plant pipes.
