AImotive claims it has become the “first” company to gain ISO26262 certification for its automated driving simulator.
AImotive relies on first ISO26262 certified simulator to power CI/CD (continuous integration and delivery) of automated driving
The company says the certification is the “essential first step” towards creating certifiable toolchain for advanced driver assistance system or automated driving development. [Read more…] about AImotive ‘first’ to gain ISO certification for its automated driving simulator
If you work in robotics, odds are you’re more interested in robots than data pipelines and cloud architecture.
Unfortunately, the latter are just as much a part of modern robotics as sensors and servo motors. If you hope to successfully develop and scale your robotics operations, you’ll first have to run the gauntlet that is building a cloud-based “backend” – the server side of the network.
Given the inherent complexity of this task, there are plenty of opportunities for oversight. So, before all else, it’s imperative that you and your team take the time to carefully consider and develop a plan of action.

By Serena Brischetto, marketing and communications manager at SEMI Europe
In the future, electronics-related gear including advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) will account for a whopping 50 percent of automotive costs.
More importantly, with more control of vehicles shifting to automation, the margin of error in component performance and reliability will become vanishingly small as zero defects become the new safety standard.
SEMI’s Serena Brischetto spoke with Antoine Amade, senior regional director EMEA, Entegris about zero defects as a “new collaborative approach” (see video below) necessary to shape the car of the future and the automotive industry.

New Scale Robotics says its NSR-PG-10-20-URe Gripper/Caliper and NSR-MTM-3-URe Multi-Tool Mount have received UR+ Certification from Universal Robots.
With this certification, UR confirms that it has tested and approved the products to work with UR e-Series collaborative robots to provide fast deployment, simple programming and reliable operation.
The NSR-PG-10-20-URe Gripper/Caliper is the smallest parallel gripper and the first robotic digital caliper for collaborative robots. [Read more…] about New Scale Robotics earns UR+ certification for its components
While it was once considered an advanced technology of the future, artificial intelligence is very much a present-day reality.
Thanks to inventions like self-driving cars, home assistant devices, automatic vacuum cleaners and remote home security solutions, Artificial Intelligence is on everyone’s lips.
Since AI seems to affect both the public and private sector, we started thinking about all the different ways in which it’ll shake up the real estate world. [Read more…] about Artificial intelligence in the real estate industry
Cybercriminals are always evolving their efforts and coming up with more advanced ways to target their victims. And while there are many tools available to stop them, there is a lot of space for improvement. Especially if you take automation into account.
Machine learning and artificial intelligence are playing a significant role in cybersecurity. Automation tools can prevent, detect, and deal with tons of cyber threats way more efficiently and faster than humans. And it will continue to expand down the road. To that end, here’s a quick look at the significant differences AI/ML technologies can make to corporate cybersecurity approaches.
Mitigating the risks posed by omnipresent technology
Technology has permeated every facet of personal and work lives. Above anything else, it increased their attack surface. And it has become a massive problem for companies in recent years – they have to account for many applications and devices. [Read more…] about How Automation and Artificial Intelligence Can Boost Cybersecurity
Waypoint Robotics has moved to a larger facility to meet what it says “growing demand” for its autonomous mobile robots. Among the products the company supplies is the MAV3K, an AMR with the capacity to lift 3000 lb.
The new, larger manufacturing facility in Nashua, New Hampshire. The new location features expanded space for production, design, engineering, quality control, and robot testing.
Jason Walker, CEO and co-founder of Waypoint, says: “The response for our Vector and MAV3K AMRs has been strong and we quickly outgrew our Merrimack, New Hampshire location. We need space to ramp up production as customers transition from pilot programs into scaling their robot fleets.
