Plus One Robotics survey shows 75 percent of Americans say delivery delays ‘dampen holiday spirit’

December 20, 2024 by David Edwards

A new survey commissioned by Plus One Robotics, a provider of AI vision software and solutions for robotic parcel handling, reveals that 75 percent of Americans report holiday delivery delays negatively impact their holiday experience, with 12 percent saying delays ruin their celebrations entirely.

The survey of 1,000 US consumers demonstrates the importance of reliable and transparent shipping operations during the holiday season.

An overwhelming 82 percent of consumers consider seeing the expected delivery date before checkout either “extremely important” or “very important”, indicating that shipping information plays a crucial role in holiday shopping behavior.

Fugro and Petrobras pioneer remote subsea inspection in Brazil

March 18, 2023 by Mark Allinson

Fugro and Petrobras have achieved a major milestone in Brazil’s offshore energy sector by successfully completing the country’s first-ever remote subsea inspection survey.

This technology trial was carried out by Fugro in collaboration with Petrobras under an existing multiyear contract with the aim of minimising risk and improving sustainability during inspection, repair and maintenance (IRM) projects.

Fugro utilised a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) deployed from the Fugro Aquarius to conduct the survey. Office-based personnel piloted the ROV from an operations centre in Aberdeen, Scotland, instead of from the vessel itself.

Be afraid. Be slightly afraid: Drivers feel ‘increasingly anxious’ about autonomous cars

March 7, 2023 by Mark Allinson

The results of AAA’s annual automated vehicle survey show that while there is still a high level of interest in partially-automated vehicle technology, attitudes toward fully self-driving vehicles have become increasingly apprehensive.

This year there was a major increase in drivers who are afraid, rising to 68 percent as compared to 55 percent in 2022. This is a 13 percent jump from last year’s survey and the biggest increase since 2020.

AAA believes automakers must be diligent in creating an environment that promotes the use of more advanced vehicle technologies in a secure, reliable, and educational manner. This includes the consistent naming of vehicle systems available to consumers today. [Read more…] about Be afraid. Be slightly afraid: Drivers feel ‘increasingly anxious’ about autonomous cars

ABB survey reveals re-industrialization ‘at risk’ from global education gap in automation

October 13, 2022 by Mark Allinson

A global ABB survey has revealed a growing trend in US and European businesses towards re-shoring or nearshoring operations to build resilience in the face of global challenges – but at the same time, a significant education gap in the skills necessary for these strategies to succeed.

Sami Atiya, president of ABB’s Robotics and Discrete Automation Business, says: “The world is constantly evolving – businesses are shifting existing structures and adopting new technologies to future-proof their operations for a variety of challenges and uncertainties, with robotic automation playing a key role.

“We need significant investment in continuous education to prepare our existing and future workforce to thrive in an age of robotics and automation, important not only to prepare for the widespread shifts we are seeing, but to create prosperous societies going forward.” [Read more…] about ABB survey reveals re-industrialization ‘at risk’ from global education gap in automation

Fugro launches its new generation of uncrewed surface vessels in the Netherlands

November 10, 2021 by Mark Allinson

Fugro’s Blue Essence, an offshore certified uncrewed surface vessel (USV) with an electric remotely operated vehicle (eROV), will begin its first project in the Netherlands. 

During operations the vessel is controlled from an onshore remote operations centre (ROC) via a satellite connection and will be used for the inspection of offshore assets, construction support services, and hydrographic and geophysical surveys.

USVs play an important role in the future of the maritime sector by improving safety, reducing carbon emissions, and delivering data more efficiently. [Read more…] about Fugro launches its new generation of uncrewed surface vessels in the Netherlands
