Adapta Robotics’ solutions automate critical device testing and retail inventory operations formally accomplished using inefficient and error prone manual methods, freeing workers for higher value tasks in the process.

The manual process of applying coating to floors to create a seamless finish is a demanding and time-consuming undertaking. Easy Floor Robotics’ systems automates the process using mobile robots.

The robotics sector’s “must attend” technical design and development event for producers of commercial class robotics systems returns to Boston in May 2023 with deepened coverage, an expanded expo floor, and once again co-locates with the Healthcare Robotics Engineering Forum.

In Episode 93 of The Robot Report Podcast, Steve Crowe, Mike Oitzman and Dan Kara review the upcoming RoboBusiness Conference & Expo and the Field Robotics Engineering Forum, highlighting the robotics luminaries speaking at the event.

GrayMatter Robotics’ SCAN&SAND solution automates complex surface finishing and treatment applications in high-mix, high-variability production environments.

What is the state of the robotics and automation sector at 2022’s midpoint? ABI Research’s Lian Jye Su has a few thoughts, five in fact.

To optimize their effectiveness, increase human-robot collaboration, and reduce the risk of mishaps, autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) must understand, and take cues from, the social behavior of their human coworkers. Cloud-based technologies for deep learning training are key to making that happen.

In Episode 79 of The Robot Report Podcast, Steve Crowe and Mike Oitzman are joined by Amir Bousani, co-founder and CEO of RGo Robotics, to discuss the state of perception for mobile robots.

The Field Robotics Engineering Forum seeks session submissions that focus on the design and development of robotics systems that operate in outdoor, unstructured and dynamic environments, such as construction worksites, open mines, and farm fields, as well as busy urban centers.

In Episode 78 of The Robot Report Podcast, Steve Crowe, Mike Oitzman and Dan Kara review the recently held Robotics Summit & Expo and Healthcare Robotics Engineering Forum.

The robotics and automation sector’s premier business development event seeks session submissions that highlight commercial opportunities for robotics solution providers, and speak to robotics and business innovation in all its forms.

Technology providers such as Qualcomm are offering robotics development ‘platforms’ that incorporate ML and 5G enablers. But development platforms alone are not enough to drive robotics innovation forward, at least not until the supply robotics engineering talent exceeds demand.

This webinar focuses on how AI and machine learning SW / HW technologies and techniques are being employed in ground based, aerial and maritime systems to make robots more intelligent and functional.

In Episode 76 of The Robot Report Podcast, Steve Crowe. Mike Oitzman and Dan Kara discuss some of the their favorite innovative solutions that were honored in the 2022 RBR50 awards.

Edge ML and robotics technologies are critical enablers for ongoing digitalization and automation efforts. Also required?… robust development platforms (hardware and software) that speed and simplify robotics development and deployment.

International technical conference and expo addresses engineering challenges faced when designing and developing healthcare robotics products and services. The event comes to Boston in May 2022 and co-locates with the Robotics Summit Conference & Expo.

With the Omniverse Replicator, and the DRIVE Sim and Isaac Sim introductions, NVIDIA is addressing the machine learning data challenge.

In Episode 75 of The Robot Report Podcast, Steve Crowe and Mike Oitzman interview Willy Pell, VP of Autonomy at Blue River Technology. Plus Cruise’s robot taxis gets pulled over.

The functional capacities of ModalAI’s VOXL CAM solution are impressive – powerful compute, imaging and navigation – particularly given its small size.

The RBR50 awards honor technology, business, and market innovations, as well as the robotics and automation organizations worldwide that were responsible for them.

The Robotics Summit keynotes and sessions, along with exhibiting companies, provides members of the media and analyst communities with many news, interview and photo / video opportunities with world’s leading robotics professionals, as well as access to the latest robotic systems and technologies.
