Women are an underrepresented group within the robotics industry. Today, women make up 48% of the total workforce and just 34% of the STEM workforce, according to the National Girls Collaborative Project. When it comes to engineering and robotics roles, the number is even smaller, with women only making up about 16% of the workforce. […]
Autonomous systems are rewriting the playbook for unmanned aerial vehicles, or UAVs. What was once the domain of science fiction is now unfolding. Drones are flying themselves, making split-second decisions, and executing missions with a level of precision no human pilot can rival. The post The future of flight: How autonomous systems are shaping the […]
With the success of generative AI, there has been much discussion around the potential for bringing the kind of flexible intelligence found in large language models into the physical world. This is often called “embodied AI,” and it is one of the most profoundly transformative opportunities in the global economy. The post When will we […]
Researchers from the College of Engineering and Computer Science at Florida Atlantic University proposed an alternative, autonomous method of observing Arctic ice. The researchers say this method holds promise for improving the autonomy of marine vehicles, aiding in maritime missions, and gaining a deeper understanding of how melting Arctic sea ice affects marine ecosystems. The […]
The robotics industry, with its rapid growth and transformative potential, presents unique intellectual property (IP) challenges and opportunities. To be successful, entrepreneurs and executives in the industry must strategically leverage IP rights to protect innovations, maintain a competitive edge, and drive business growth. This article provides an overview of the critical IP issues robotics companies […]
The robotics industry has long been captivated by the idea of humanoid robots—machines that mimic human appearance and movement. While this vision aligns with science fiction, it’s not necessarily the best approach for solving real-world automation challenges. In warehouse and logistics operations, where the goal is to transport massive pallets, navigate tight spaces, and optimize […]
As an early investor in Agility Robotics, now one of the world’s leading manufacturers of humanoid robots, I’ve watched as humanoids have evolved from a fascinating concept to reality over the past five years. That’s why I wasn’t surprised when NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang made headlines to kick off this year, saying, “Robotics will be […]
Despite a lack of growth in 2023 and 2024, the latest report from ABI Research predicted that revenue from collaborative robots will increase from $970 million in 2023 to $7.2 billion by 2030 at a compound annual growth rate, or CAGR, of 28%. The research firm said that safety, lower average selling prices, and accessibility […]
Production manufacturing demands are increasingly diverse, so adaptability and efficiency are essential, according to Hakan Aydogdu, CEO of Tezmaksan Robot Technologies. Automatic gripper changes provide a practical solution for CNC machines to transition seamlessly between tasks without manual intervention, he said. The post Automatic gripper changes can add flexibility in manufacturing appeared first on The […]
In the future, autonomous drones could be used to shuttle inventory between large warehouses. A drone might fly into a semi-dark structure the size of several football fields, zipping along hundreds of identical aisles before docking at the precise spot where its shipment is needed. The post New MIT tech helps drones fly in dark […]
