Relay Robotics calls for creation of SAE-style autonomy levels for indoor robots

November 28, 2024 by Mark Allinson

Relay Robotics – a provider of indoor robots mainly used in hotels and hospitals to deliver small items – is calling for the creation of a framework for indoor robots similar to that for autonomous road cars.

The SAE – short for Society of Automotive Engineers – released a guidance in 2014 which defined levels of autonomy in automotive vehicles from 0 to 5, and this has become the standard reference for the automotive industry.

Now, in a detailed article, two robotics experts at Relay Robotics – Sonali Deshpande, senior navigation engineer, and Jim Slater, robot systems architect – have outlined a set of definitions which the company hopes will help the wider industry develop such a framework for indoor robots.

The Importance of Motor Protection Relays in Industrial Settings

August 3, 2023 by David Edwards

Motors are critical components in diverse industries, ranging from manufacturing and mining to water treatment and HVAC systems.

As the backbone of industrial operations, any motor failure or malfunction can lead to costly downtime, production losses, and expensive repairs.

To safeguard these valuable assets and ensure their reliable and efficient operation, motor protection relays like GE Multilin 239 motor protection relays are deployed. This article introduces motor protection relays and how they help operators maximize motor longevity and performance.

Enquiries for Savioke’s delivery robot double amid pandemic

June 3, 2020 by David Edwards

The number of enquiries for Savioke’s delivery robot (see video below) has doubled amid the global coronavirus pandemic, according to an executive at the startup company.

Governments in virtually every country in the world have ordered lockdowns of citizens, or “shelter-in-place” orders, as they are referred to in the US.

The orders have led to many people in the robotics industry to predict that the demand for delivery robots, such as the ones produced by Savioke, will increase. [Read more…] about Enquiries for Savioke’s delivery robot double amid pandemic
