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.
Due to a proliferation of innovative digital technologies and applications stemming from AI/ML, IoT, the edge and the cloud, we are now producing colossal amounts of information daily. Moreover, all signs indicate that demand for digital storage will continue to grow at unprecedented levels for decades to come. The post Samsung and Western Digital Collaborate […]
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.
Over the course of the pandemic, the crucial role of high-performance computing and artificial intelligence in treating disease has become abundantly clear. Even as viral disease sits squarely in supercomputing’s crosshairs, however, mental illness has remained relatively foreign to the computational medicine world. Now, a collaboration between Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, […]

The inner workings of the Earth shape the continents and islands we know on the surface — but many of the inner workings of the planet remain a mystery to even the most experienced researchers. One of those mysteries has been a characteristic — and hitherto unexplained — 60° bend in the Hawaiian-Emperor seamount chain, […]
“HPC Matters!” was the big, bold title of a talk by Piyush Mehrotra, division chief of NASA’s Advanced Supercomputing (NAS) Division at its Ames Research Center, during the meeting of the HPC Advisory Council at Stanford last week. At the meeting, Mehrotra offered a glimpse into the state of supercomputing at NASA—and how its systems […]
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 […]
