Moving an object from one location to another—picking and placing—is an ideal application for industrial robots due to the robots’ repeatability, throughput and favorable return on investment. It is ...

Folding success is often scored using a method called Intersection over Union (IoU), which measures how fully the upper half ...

ABB’s new Robotic Item Picker uses artificial intelligence to accurately detect and pick items in unstructured environments. The ABB Robotic Item Picker. Source: ABB The Robotic Item Picker, recently ...

One of the jobs for which robots are best suited is the tedious, repetitive “pick and place” task common in warehouses — but humans are still much better at it. UC Berkeley researchers are picking up ...

[Alexsoulis] needed to burn the Arduino bootloader to a slew of ATmega328 chips. Instead of sitting there and plugged the chips into a programmer one at a time, he build a robotic microcontroller ...

Let’s face it, robots are cool. They’re also going to run the world some day, and hopefully, at that time they will take pity on their poor soft fleshy creators (a.k.a. robotics developers) and help ...

Artificial intelligence applications have been growing rapidly in a variety of industrial technologies, ranging from data analytics and quality inspections to autonomous mobile robots. Now the ...

The next phase of collaborative robots eliminates the need for programming. Applications such as machine tending and palletizing can be deployed in a few simple steps. Robot programming has come a ...
