While it was once considered an advanced technology of the future, artificial intelligence is very much a present-day reality.
Thanks to inventions like self-driving cars, home assistant devices, automatic vacuum cleaners and remote home security solutions, Artificial Intelligence is on everyone’s lips.
Since AI seems to affect both the public and private sector, we started thinking about all the different ways in which it’ll shake up the real estate world. [Read more…] about Artificial intelligence in the real estate industry
Waypoint Robotics has moved to a larger facility to meet what it says “growing demand” for its autonomous mobile robots. Among the products the company supplies is the MAV3K, an AMR with the capacity to lift 3000 lb.
The new, larger manufacturing facility in Nashua, New Hampshire. The new location features expanded space for production, design, engineering, quality control, and robot testing.
Jason Walker, CEO and co-founder of Waypoint, says: “The response for our Vector and MAV3K AMRs has been strong and we quickly outgrew our Merrimack, New Hampshire location. We need space to ramp up production as customers transition from pilot programs into scaling their robot fleets.

B&R has integrated its “industrialPhysics” simulation tool into its Automation Studio engineering environment.
The company says the 3D simulation software greatly simplifies model-based machine development, enabling easier digital twin development.
B&R says developers can import CAD data from machine components or entire machines directly into the simulation tool, and then they can quickly and easily generate a digital twin for developing and testing the machine software.

Anki, a startup company which made robotic toy cars and trucks, is planning to close its doors, according to a report on the Recode website.
The company had raised more than $200 million in funding for the venture, and generated $100 million in revenue in 2017, but is now making all of its 200 employees redundant.
In a statement to Recode, the company says that it had been left “without significant funding” which meant it could not finance its hardware and software development plans going forward.
