How Robotnik’s RB-KAIROS+ mobile manipulator can helps improve productivity in SMEs

April 6, 2022 by David Edwards Leave a Comment

A recent Roland Berger study, which analyses the impact of robotics in logistics, provides some interesting data in this regard.

It indicates a cost reduction of between 20 percent and 40 percent and an improvement in productivity of between 25 percent and 70 percent.

Increased production and cost reduction is already a reality for many small and medium-sized companies that are experiencing increased profitability and reduced production costs thanks to the automation of certain processes using mobile manipulators such as Robotnik’s RB-KAIROS+.

Waypoint Robotics partners with Productive Robotics to build mobile manipulation robot

April 22, 2021 by David Edwards Leave a Comment

Waypoint Robotics has teamed up with Productive Robotics to build a new kind of robot that aims to make mobile manipulation accessible for small to mid sized companies. 

The machine – called the Vector AMR – combines Waypoint’s omnidirectional autonomous mobile robot with Productive Robotics’ 7 axis collaborative robot arm, which the companies say makes it easier and more cost effective to implement mobile manipulators for manufacturing and logistics applications.

Workers can use this mobile platform to perform repetitive tasks such as machine tending, quality assurance sampling, material replenishment, packaging, and many others, so they can focus on the high skilled jobs for which they are uniquely qualified.

RB-KAIROS +: the best solution for Universal Robots e-Series users

February 25, 2021 by Polly Leave a Comment

Collaborative Mobile Robots are one of the most important hits of Industry 4.0, where robots and humans operate together, each one providing its own particular strengths and complementing each other to achieve greater efficiency.

These robots are in charge of repetitive tasks and, on the other hand, the professionals of the industry have the creativeness and the solution-problems capabilities to obtain the maximum benefit of robotics, and achieve this objective.

RB-KAIROS + has been designed as a mobile solution to expand the possibilities of the e-Series Universal Robots arms and improve the efficiency of the production chain. [Read more…] about RB-KAIROS +: the best solution for Universal Robots e-Series users

Swiss university developing mobile robot that learns on the job

January 7, 2021 by David Edwards Leave a Comment

A team from the Autonomous Systems Lab at the public research university ETH Zurich in Switzerland is creating robots and intelligent systems that are able to learn on the job. (See video below.)

The team’s machine – which consists of a robotic arm mounted on a mobile platform – can “autonomously operate in complex and diverse environments”, says an article on Clearpath Robotics’ website.

Using a Clearpath Ridgeback as a base and equipped with a Franka Emika Panda manipulator arm (called RoyalPanda, that is Ridgeback + Panda), the team is experimenting with a series of different scenarios to develop best practices of how a robot could “learn”.
