Richtech Robotics, a developer of advanced robotic technologies focused on transforming labor-intensive services in hospitality, healthcare and other sectors currently experiencing unprecedented labor shortages, recently visited the Nasdaq MarketSite in Times Square and rang the opening bell.
In honor of the occasion, ADAM, the company’s AI-enabled humanoid robot, rings the Opening Bell.
This marks the first time a dual armed robot with vision and speaking capabilities will be participating in the prestigious ceremony, which includes a dedicated pre-bell speech.
Augmentus, a developer of “no-code” robotics software, has successfully raised $5 million in Series A funding. The round was led by Sierra Ventures, along with Cocoon Capital.
Conventional robot programming is fragmented and costly, requiring extensive training and expertise due to proprietary programming languages. This results in 75 percent of lifetime costs being attributed to software and programming.
The industrial robotics software market is expected to reach $47 billion by 2030, growing at a compound annual growth rate of 27 percent. Augmentus aims to disrupt this market. [Read more…] about Augmentus raises $5 million to expand ‘no-code robotics’ offering

More than 20 robotics and automation vendors will showcase hands-on demonstrations at large free-to-attend Waves of Innovation event at AT&T stadium, the home of the football team the Dallas Cowboys, in Arlington on November 15
Despite the Dallas metro adding more than 10,000 manufacturing jobs over the past 10 months, the region still has more job vacancies than applicants.
“Historically low labor participation rates in our area means manufacturers are often unable to staff their shifts,” says Nick Armenta, regional manager of Olympus Controls, an engineering services company that specializes in the integration of motion control, machine vision, and robotic technologies.
In Texas, there is currently 0.8 unemployed persons per job opening, a gap that is especially pronounced in manufacturing. [Read more…] about 20 robotics companies to showcase technologies at Dallas Cowboys stadium
