Güdel introduces Swiss quality tracks for collaborative robots

by

From moving cobots to novel mobility solutions, Güdel is highlighting two new technologies at Automate 2025 booth #2418 that demonstrate its “unmatched ability” to solve automation engineering challenges.

First, Güdel will unveil the CoboMover, a 7th-axis linear track purpose-built for collaborative and lightweight robots.

Designed and manufactured in Switzerland, the CoboMover extends the working range of robots up to 5 meters (16.4 ft), allowing them to operate multiple workstations and perform a variety of tasks without manual repositioning.

How Premium Rubber Tracks Decrease Downtime and Reduce Costs

by

Robotics and automation have revolutionized several industry branches in the 21st century, like agriculture, manufacturing, medicine, military operations, and construction.

Automated robots are reliable and durable machines that produce at a high-performance level, so they need high-quality designs, manufacturing processes, and equipment.

Robots can mimic and exceed human capabilities like strength, precision, productivity, and durability. However, human leg articulations and movement are aspects that robots don’t mimic 100% yet. Most rely on tracks to displace. For mobile robots, high-quality rubber tracks are a must. [Read more…] about How Premium Rubber Tracks Decrease Downtime and Reduce Costs

AECOM to partner with MnDOT and the City of White Bear Lake on automated shuttle pilot

by

AECOM, an infrastructure consulting firm, is partnering with the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) and White Bear Lake on the launch of an automated shuttle pilot within the city.

The shuttle, which has been named “Bear Tracks”, will run for one year on a 1.5-mile route and be free to use, connecting area residents to several community facilities and businesses.

The project will incorporate key elements of MnDOT’s Connected and Automated Vehicle (CAV) Strategic Plan, including enhanced mobility for persons with disabilities, better travel options for elderly communities, and more public awareness of automated vehicle technologies.

In this case, they have a lot of work to do to create their own personal brand. [Read more…] about Spotify monthly listeners – your career depends on them

Boeing ‘abandons’ robots in favour of humans

by

Boeing has reportedly abandoned the use of some robotic systems that were being used for fuselage work such as drilling and fastening.

According to the Seattle Times, the implementation of the robots “proved painful to set up and (was) error-prone”.

The news website quoted Jason Clark, Boeing vice president of 777/777X operations, who said back in 2015, when the robots were first introduced: “It’s a little tough in the teething. But as we get through it, it will create the rewards necessary for us to compete.” [Read more…] about Boeing ‘abandons’ robots in favour of humans
