Where Innovation Meets Imagination
Effidence has added new functionality to its warehouse robot, Effibot.
The Effibot is described as “an adaptive handling robot with a customizable structure”.
The new functionality is called “3D-Cart Grip” and said to be an accessory that automates the picking and depositing of Effidence 3D-Cart trolleys (see main picture and video below). [Read more…] about Effidence adds new functionality to its warehouse robot
The China Robot Industry Alliance, an industry association, has selected HRG’s disinfection robot as a “special case” in its 2020 White Paper on the Development of China’s Robotics Industry.
The recently released 2020 White Paper on the Development of China’s Robotics Industry, compiled by CRIA, has selected HRG anti-pandemic disinfection robot as “a typical case in its special topic on pandemic prevention robots”.
HRG anti-pandemic disinfection robot was independently developed by the Emergency Equipment Research Institute of HRG Hefei Institute. [Read more…] about China Robot Industry Alliance selects HRG’s disinfection robot
Today, neuroscience and robotics are developing hand in hand. Mikhail Lebedev, academic supervisor at HSE University’s Centre for Bioelectric Interfaces, spoke about how studying the brain inspires the development of robots.
Robots are interesting to neuroscience and neuroscience is interesting to robots – this is what the article “Neuroengineering challenges of fusing robotics and neuroscience” was about in the journal Science Robotics.
Such collaborative development contributes to progress in both fields, bringing us closer to developing more advanced android robots and a deeper understanding of the structure of the human brain. And, to some extent, to combining biological organisms with machines, to create cybernetic organisms (cyborgs).

Badger Technologies, a product division of Jabil, introduces the Badger UltraViolet Disinfect robot, an autonomous ultraviolet (UV) disinfecting robot designed to combat Covid-19 and high-risk pathogens commonly found in grocery, food-service and retail environments.
The latest in the lineup of Badger Technologies autonomous robots, the Badger UV Disinfect robot is equipped with advanced UV-C technology developed by UltraViolet Devices Inc (UVDI), a leading provider of air and surface disinfection solutions.
Early testing of the new Badger Technologies autonomous robot with UVDI’s 254 nanometer UV-C technology indicates 99 percent and greater inactivation of coronaviruses, E.coli, Salmonella enterica and Influenza A. [Read more…] about Badger Technologies launches ultraviolet disinfection robot
Asyril has launched Eye+, a new “intelligent control system” that manages the Asycube, hopper, vision and robot. (See video below.)
The company says the system allows the control of all components required for a modern and flexible assembly line.
With Eye+ Asycube users will be able to easily optimise the performance of their system without in-depth knowledge of machine vision and at a highly competitive cost. Eye+ also enables vision configuration and hand-eye calibration. This control system is easy to integrate and simple to use.

Hyundai Robotics has unveiled a new service robot designed for hotels and developed with KT, formerly Korea Telecom.
The UNI-050H is a mobile service robot co-developed by Hyundai Robotics and KT to perform hotel amenities delivery, and can now be found at the Daegu Marriott Hotel & Residences.
UNI-050H delivers amenities such as towels and bottled water, to guest rooms upon request. [Read more…] about Hyundai unveils hotel robot developed with KT
HRG has unveiled what it calls its “Intelligent Patrol Robot”.
Developed by the Intelligent Equipment Research Institute of HRG Hefei Institute, the new product is designed to carry out patrol inspections in multiple scenarios.
It can achieve a 24-hour observation of 360 degrees horizontal and 180 degrees vertical to effectively reduce human contact during the pandemic. [Read more…] about HRG unveils ‘Intelligent Patrol Robot’ to fight against pandemic
Hyundai Motor Group has launched the humanoid “DAL-e”, which it describes as a “highly advanced customer service robot” that independently communicates with people using precise recognition capabilities and mobility functions.
DAL-e is an acronym for “Drive you, Assist you, Link with you-experience”. Designed to pioneer the future of automated customer services, the DAL-e is equipped with state-of-the-art artificial intelligence technology for facial recognition as well as an automatic communication system based on a language-comprehension platform.
Dong Jin Hyun, vice president and head of the robotics lab at Hyundai Motor Group, says: “The DAL-e is a next-generation service platform that can offer automated customer services anytime. It is expected to become a messenger capable of delivering consistent messages to customers in a more intimate and personal way than conventional robots. [Read more…] about Hyundai launches humanoid robot ‘DAL-e’ for customer service
A Munich therapy center uses a medical product with an integrated Kuka robot as a high-precision instrument in tumor treatment.
The CyberKnife system of Accuray, a kind of virtual knife, is an alternative to conventional radiotherapy.
Thanks to high-precision robot- and image-guided irradiation, the CyberKnife Center in Munich is able to treat tumors anywhere in the body – from the brain to the spinal column to various organs, such as the lungs, liver, kidneys or prostate. [Read more…] about Kuka unveils robotics for modern treatment of tumors
