Robotics Business Review, sister publication of The Robot Report, today announced the winners of the 2023 RBR50 Robotics Innovation Awards (RBR50). For more than a decade, the annual RBR50 list celebrates forward-thinking organizations and their original, impactful creations. Recognized throughout the world, the RBR50 is also a critical measure of robotics sector growth. The post […]

Industrial robots, particularly those in the automotive industry, complement human workers rather than replace them. The post Researchers find robots create jobs in long term appeared first on Robotics Business Review.

Your manufacturer should feel like an extension of your business. Manufacturing relationships are just that – relationships. Since your contract manufacturer (CM) will be working alongside you, actively learning about your robotic system and the requirements specific to your company and application, your partnering decision needs to be deliberate and extend beyond bottom-line cost comparisons. […]

A research team led by the University of Bristol is studying fish sensory organs to better understand the cues they give to determine collective behavior. These researchers think these same cues could be used in swarms of underwater robots.  The post How fish sensory organs could improve underwater robots’ navigation skills appeared first on The […]

Human systems engineering aims to combine engineering and psychology to create systems that are designed to work with humans’ capabilities and limitations. Interest in the subject has grown among government agencies, like the FDA, the FAA and NASA, as well as in private sectors like cybersecurity and defense.  The post Why roboticists should prioritize human […]

A team of researchers from the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) and Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) has developed a soft robotic wearable capable of significantly assisting upper arm and shoulder movement in people with ALS. The post Soft robotic wearable restores arm function for people with ALS appeared first […]

ABB Robotics and the University of Texas Medical Branch’s (UTMB) Life Sciences and Healthcare Lab have developed an automated neutralizing antibody testing system. The robotic system can determine an individual’s immunity to various strains of COVID, and perform other virus testing.  The post ABB uses robots to automate COVID antibody testing appeared first on The […]

Researchers at MIT have designed a soft, robotic implantable ventilator that can augment the diaphragm’s natural contractions.  The post MIT researchers create implantable robotic ventilator appeared first on The Robot Report.

The answer starts by understanding the difference between the traditional capital equipment selling cycle and the concept of a subscription service selling model. The post What is a Robotic Service Provider? appeared first on The Robot Report.

Robots, and in particular industrial robots, are programmed to perform certain functions. The Robot Operating System (ROS) is a very popular framework that facilitates the asynchronous coordination between a robot and other drives and/or devices. ROS has been a go-to means to enable the development of advanced capability across the robotics sector. The post Teaching […]
