As you browse the dozens of window displays on London’s Oxford Street, you’ll notice something unique in the window at Selfridges: an ABB robot 3D printing designer furniture, houseware and other objects. The post ABB robot 3D prints houseware in London storefront appeared first on The Robot Report.

Open Ocean Engineering’s Clearbot Neo is a robotic boat that autonomously navigates harbors, canals and rivers to collect trash that would otherwise wash into the ocean.  The post Clearbot Neo autonomously clears plastic from harbors appeared first on The Robot Report.

InOrbit announced the release of its newest robot operations (RobOps) tool Data Backfill. The tool stores data locally so that it can fill gaps in an autonomous mobile robot’s (AMR’s) operating history.  The post InOrbit’s Data Backfill fills gaps in robot data appeared first on The Robot Report.

Kollmorgen, a developer of motion control systems, announced the TBM2G series of frameless servo motors, introducing features that simplify the design of collaborative, surgical, aerospace, defense and other robots while delivering optimal performance in a lighter, more compact package. These new motors will complement Kollmorgen’s existing TBM and KBM series of frameless motors. The post […]

Thousands of packages pass through Amazon’s fulfillment centers every day. More and more of those packages are picked up, scanned, and organized by Amazon’s Robin robotic arm.  The post How Amazon trained its robot Robin to sort packages appeared first on The Robot Report.

A research team at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) has developed a robotic gripper with fin ray fingers that are able to feel the objects it manipulates.  The post MIT CSAIL develops robotic gripper that can feel what it grabs appeared first on The Robot Report.

ABB Robotics has launched its High Speed Alignment software that enables users to increase the speed of 6-axis robots by 70% and accuracy by 50%, reducing time-to-market while increasing accuracy levels. The software is compatible with ABB’s IRB 1100 and IRB 120 industrial robots. The post ABB software increases industrial robot speed 70% appeared first […]

Roboticists usually teach robots new tasks by remotely operating them through performing a task. The robot then imitates the demonstration until it can perform the task on its own. The post Google researchers teach robots to learn by watching appeared first on The Robot Report.

A research team at the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST) in Korea created a method to allow artificial intelligence (AI) vision systems to better identify objects that are cluttered together and may not be entirely visible.  The post GIST researchers teach robots to identify partially hidden objects appeared first on The Robot Report.
