Nobia is one of Europe’s largest producers of kitchen furniture and related equipment.
By securing the contract, ABB Robotics says it is furthering its expansion into new industry segments, helping to make production “more efficient and sustainable”. [Read more…] about ABB provides ‘complete range of robots’ for one of Europe’s largest kitchen makers
Nauticus Robotics, a developer of autonomous robots using artificial intelligence for data collection and intervention services for the ocean industries, has launched the first of three second-generation Aquanauts, dubbed the “Mark 2” (MK2).
The Aquanauts will now start commissioning exercises. Following commissioning, Nauticus expects to send the initial Aquanaut MK2 units to the North Sea and the Gulf of Mexico in the coming months to support customer initiatives in those regions.
The Aquanaut MK2 is a fully electric, untethered and autonomous subsea robot that is controlled through acoustic communication networking and underpinned by Nauticus’ proprietary software suite, toolKITT. The artificial intelligence-based software suite allows for robotic controls, user interfaces, sensor integration, simulation, data analysis, and communication frameworks purpose-built to enable subsea work.

Boring, strenuous, and exhausting are things of the past. The work environment of tomorrow looks different: exciting, simple, and easy. Cobots, AGVs (Autonomous Guided Vehicles), and AMRs (Autonomous Mobile Robots) put variety into daily work routines.
Cooperation with the robot transforms previously tedious, strenuous tasks into popular activities that are easy to perform. Numerous exhibitors at automatica, held in Munich from June 27 to 30, 2023, will present examples of such transformations.
While such work facilitation is great, the pivotal question is: To what extent can automation and robotics compensate the lack of specialists? An ever-increasing gap emerges as the baby boomers retire from the workforce. [Read more…] about Tackling the lack of specialists with innovative robotics solutions
The market for non-industrial robots is expected to reach $83.4 billion in 2023 and $465.5 billion by the end of 2033, growing at a compound annual growth rate of 18.8 percent, according to a report by Fact.MR.
Robotics is gradually changing how routine tasks are carried out; their adoption simplifies work, saves time, and increases overall productivity.
Every industry, including the commercial and domestic sectors, uses robots for all jobs, simple or complex. Due to the growing demand from end-use sectors like healthcare, the military, research and development, and other industries, non-industrial robots are expected to experience rapid growth.

The global robot vision system market is likely at $2,690.4 million in 2023 and expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 10.4 percent during the forecast years of 2023-2033, according to a report by Fact.MR.
In order to improve job efficiency and replace human labour, the market for robots is rising and is anticipated to rise more during the coming year.
The market is expanding as a result of increased adoption of machine vision systems and the use of cognitive humanoid robots in end use industries such as automotive industry and others. [Read more…] about Demand for robot vision system set to surpass $7 million by 2033
Albert, said to be one of the Czech Republic’s largest retail brands, says its fleet of autonomous mobile robots have officially cleaned over 20 million square metres (215 million square feet), completing over 92,000 cleaning routes.
The industrial cleaning robots were implemented across Albert’s Czech Republic hypermarkets and two distribution centres. During 2023, Albert says it will “almost double” the number of stores with robot deployments for the robots.
Albert, an Ahold Delhaize local brand, released the figure in partnership with Brain Corp and Tennant Co, who supply and develop the robots and software. [Read more…] about Czech retailer’s robots clean 20 million square metres
ExRobotics has developed a “new and improved” version of its ATEX-certified inspection robot, together with the help of Shell Pernis and DOW Terneuzen.
ExRobotics says “many companies” have adopted this way of working, and as a result, there are now 30 of its robots operating worldwide on a daily basis.
Why do industrial companies send employees into potentially hazardous environments (ATEX Zone 1 environments) when robots could do some of the work? Several studies have shown that inspection of hazardous environments by robots is the solution to preventing human injury during inspection. Robots perform inspections more accurately, more productively and more cost-effectively than humans. [Read more…] about ExRobotics develops ‘new and improved’ version of its inspection robot
Outokumpu, one of Europe’s largest producers of stainless steel, has signed a deal with ANYbotics, a supplier of four-legged robots.
ANYbotics will provide its autonomous robotic inspection solution ANYmal to automate routine inspection at Outokumpu sites in Europe.
Outokumpu and ANYbotics formally announced the partnership ahead of the Green Steel World Conference. [Read more…] about ANYbotics to provide steelmaker Outokumpu with its canine inspection robot
Nvidia says it is making its robotics software and hardware more widely available.
The chipmaker says its Omniverse Cloud will be hosted on Microsoft Azure, increasing access to Isaac Sim, the company’s platform for developing and managing artificial intelligence-based robots.
The company also says that a full lineup of Jetson Orin modules is now available, offering a “performance leap” for edge AI and robotics applications. [Read more…] about Nvidia expands availability of its robotics development software and hardware
