Collaborative robots, or cobots, are here to stay in a variety of major industries. As our factories become more dependent on melding human intuition with autonomous efficiency, robotics engineers must place a greater emphasis on safety.
We had the chance to be part of the FIRST Robotics event which was held in Montreal earlier this month. This year, the competition's theme was "Destination: Deep Space". Here is a recap of the event.
Whenever a manual process becomes automated or new mechanical systems are replacing older equipment, robot integrators are needed. Robot integrators provide specialized experience and expertise in maintaining and installing robotic equipment. They play a vital part in the longevity of your robot…
The emerging field of nanorobotics may still be in its nascent stages, but increasing investments in this technology show promise for the future. Considering all the potential of continued research and development of nanobots, here are a few considerations to take into account for the state of n…
Today, space robots are a reality, and they help scientists and aerospace engineers explore the Solar System -- something humans just can't do. And things are just getting started. As technology develops, there are endless possibilities for space robots in the future.
NASA's Mars Opportunity Rover, launched July 7, 2003 and initially intended to last 90 days, is finally over. You did an outstanding job!
Riverdi company is the leader in intelligent TFT display modules. We use cutting-edge technologies and the experience gained for years on the market, thus we can provide the best display solution for the specific application. The modularity of our products makes it possible to accomplish va…
Surgery is something that, until the 2000s, was considered the purview of medical specialists. If you went to the hospital for a surgical procedure, you could expect to be attended by a human surgeon — at least, until the advent of robotic surgery. What is robotic surgery?
CES 2019 was quite eventful this year with a whole bunch of new robots announced. If everything goes right, you might even be able to get your hands on a couple of robots on this list in the following year! There is no clear order in this list, I just wanted to show off the ones that struck me t…
A simple motion detection solution with object filtering is available using short range radar sensors.
If you ask a normal consumer what activities they associate with Amazon, most will still refer to their e-commerce platform. Amazon however has many, many areas of development, one of which is A.I. development. On November 26, Amazon announced that the courses used to train their engineers in A.…
We have been entering a very cool new UAVs / Drone product from Pleiades called "Spiri" and their technical art director Caroline Glass prepared a Blog post for us to talk about the project. It's a very interesting platform that will push the industry toward the more "robotic&…
The age-old question? Can machines think? My answer: yes, but not yet. Plenty of people will disagree, but before you jump to conclusions, read on.
Well, for many years I've always wanted to build a 2 legged walking robot. I have already built 3 R2-D2s, a functional lifesize Wall*E and a few other smaller robots droids. But as of 18 months ago I had this crazy idea to build a lifesize K2SO from Rogue One. These video's show my progr…
The Lynxmotion team worked onto release a frame kit that would be able to suit the need for schools when it comes to choosing the kinds of platforms they need as well as being able to experiment with various types without the need to buy each one individually. Our Lynxmotion MES Reconfigurable F…
Congratulations to Saildrone which have just raised $60 million in series B funding (May 2018) to continue development and deployment of their autonomous sailing robot. Saildrone, which launched commercially in 2016, has as its current mission is to build and deploy a fleet of 1,000 fully autono…
