Luxonis launches its first open source personal robot

November 14, 2022 by Mark Allinson Leave a Comment

Luxonis, a Colorado-based robotic vision platform, has launched rae, its first “fully-formed and high-powered personal robot”.

Backed by a Kickstarter campaign to help support its development, rae sets itself apart by offering a multitude of features right out of the box, along with a unique degree of experimental programming potential that far exceeds other consumer robots on the market.

The most recent of a long line of Luxonis innovations, rae is designed to make robotics accessible and simple for users of any experience level. [Read more…] about Luxonis launches its first open source personal robot

The Ambitious Entrepreneur: How to Elevate Your Startup

August 22, 2022 by David Edwards Leave a Comment

New company owners are at the precipice of something great – or something that could potentially cause them grief for months, if not years to come. It’s not the kind that offers a comfortable in-between, which is why startup management is typically associated with stress and anxiety.

While that all sounds pretty gloomy, remember that failure is one of the stepping stones to success, and that rings true with startup management. The good news is you have plenty of examples from other successful businesses to help you succeed.

Here’s how ambitious entrepreneurs can elevate their startups. [Read more…] about The Ambitious Entrepreneur: How to Elevate Your Startup

Merkle relies on Kassow Robots for complete robot welding systems

March 11, 2021 by David Edwards Leave a Comment

Merkle Schweissanlagen-Technik, or Merkle Welding Systems, will use 7-axis cobots from the Copenhagen-based collaborative robot company Kassow Robots as standard in its WeldROB complete robot welding systems from now on.

Dr Ulrich Prank, deputy managing director of the medium-sized company located in Koetz in Bavaria, Germany, says: “We have always focused on innovation. The lightweight robots from Kassow Robots are a new generation of particularly powerful and flexible cobots and offer our industrial customers real advantages.

“Instead of complex, elaborate robot technology with a high need for training and familiarization, welding with the WeldROB 7 is surprisingly simple.”  [Read more…] about Merkle relies on Kassow Robots for complete robot welding systems

OnRobot releases ‘world’s most powerful’ electric vacuum gripper for robot arms

February 25, 2021 by David Edwards Leave a Comment

OnRobot has released what it describes as the “world’s most powerful” electric vacuum gripper for robot arms. 

OnRobot says its new VGP20 electric vacuum gripper provides a powerful and versatile solution for challenging palletising scenarios including heavy, bulky and porous surfaces.

Large, unwieldy bags of dog food, non-airtight clothing or consumer goods packages, and bulky, porous cardboard boxes. These are just some examples of demanding packaging and palletising applications that OnRobot’s new VGP20 gripper can address.

The Damage to Machinery You Don’t Always Notice

August 12, 2020 by Polly Leave a Comment

When someone talks about technology being damaged, what are some of the first things you imagine in your head? Maybe a smartphone being dropped screen first onto asphalt. A car crash, maybe. How about those videos of people throwing laptops off of stairs.

But there are other types of damage that you don’t always notice, as they’re not as visible and seem to fly right under people’s radar. Things like dust, the weather, even the Sun can cause serious harm to machinery without anyone even realizing it. So then, what is this damage, and how to avoid it?

How robotics and AI are changing the fashion industry and warehousing sector

November 26, 2019 by Mai Tao Leave a Comment

The fashion industry is investing huge amounts of money in artificial intelligence systems that can provide what is called “sentiment analysis”, which is similar to customer feedback, except that it’s indirectly acquired.

Typically, sentiment analytics systems can gather information from social media pages as well as through natural language processing, perhaps through listening to customer phone calls.

A massive number of data points can be collated and analysed – a quantity of information that only an AI system can process. And after processing it all, conclusions can be drawn. [Read more…] about How robotics and AI are changing the fashion industry and warehousing sector
