The food delivery sector faces serious supply chain challenges that could reduce consumer adoption and limit growth. A Cloud Kitchen execution architecture, supported by high levels of robotic automation, a can address the problem while providing consumers with greater choice and value, and entrepreneurs with numerous business opportunities. The post The Next Big On-Demand Thing […]
What does it take for a robot to run, flip, vault, and leap like an athlete? Creating these high-energy demonstrations is a fun challenge, but our technical goals go beyond just creating a flashy performance. On the Atlas project, we use parkour as an experimental theme to study problems related to rapid behavior creation, dynamic […]
For the first time, Northwestern University engineers have created a double layer of atomically flat borophene, a feat that defies the natural tendency of boron to form non-planar clusters beyond the single-atomic-layer limit.
While most of the quantum computing world is focused on achieving fault tolerant computing – some day – with intermediate applications for NISQ (near intermediate scale quantum) systems emerging along the way, Zapata Computing is taking a different approach. Its idea is to take the existing compute infrastructure necessary for large-scale enterprise applications and blend […]
Mobile Industrial Robots (MiR) launched two autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) to extend its existing product line and better serve the needs of its customers.
Driverless tractors present an interesting conundrum for everyone from advanced technology suppliers to legislators. Most industry experts agree that the technological capabilities are there. It is more a matter of “if” than “when.” The post Farming with Driverless Tractors… is it Possible? appeared first on Robotics Business Review.
Performance Motion Devices (PMD) recently debuted its new ION/CME N-Series Digital Drives, new members of the ION Digital Drive family that provide high-performance motion control, network connectivity and amplification. The N-Series ION digital drives feature a patented, ultra-rugged PCB-mountable package with three power output levels – 75, 300, and 1,000 W. All ION/CME N-Series Digital […]
If you’re not worried enough by the ongoing pandemic or rapidly accelerating climate change, you’re in luck: you can worry about space weather, too. In the interim since the last major space weather event – a massive solar flare in 1859 that fried telegraph machines – severe space weather has become a much more concerning […]
The growing list of “firsts” for Perseverance, NASA’s newest six-wheeled robot on the Martian surface, includes converting some of the Red Planet’s thin, carbon dioxide-rich atmosphere into oxygen. A toaster-size, experimental instrument aboard Perseverance called the Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment (MOXIE) accomplished the task. The test took place April 20, the 60th Martian […]
Hirebotics announces the launch of the Hirebotics Cobot Welder. The new solution is a complete, user-friendly collaborative robot (cobot) welding system that enables painless automated welding deployments. The post Hirebotics Cobot Welder is simple to use and setup appeared first on The Robot Report.
