ECCO, the premium manufacturer of footwear and leather accessories, decided to automate the process of assembling spikes on golf shoes. For precise robot navigation, they use Photoneo 3D vision and robotic intelligence.
The fourth industrial revolution has the potential to fundamentally transform the way humans and machines work today. Will it lead to an improvement in the quality of life? Or will it be a cause of widespread job losses and unrest?
While the concept of a hugging robot may sound bizarre, the researchers behind the project — now in its third generation — believe that such a device could have a major impact on everything from social telepresence to elder care.
In this episode, we talk about how researchers have created a system for predicting job automation and providing alternatives to current workers along with the impacts of carbon dioxide productivity.
This clever solution for robotic engraving on unknown, curved surfaces uses Photoneo 3D vision to get an accurate point cloud. The 3D data is then used for the creation of an optimal trajectory to navigate the robot with high precision.
The MGV (Mechanical Guidance Vehicle) device is a self-controlling device without a driver. The guidance system of this device is mechanical, without a driver. Rough surfaces, which are one of the limitations of the AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) device, do not exist for this device.
Understanding the basics of functional safety.
One of the main things people are interested in when solving a complex robotic manipulator problem is the DoF and Functions. These two distinct pieces of terminology help to shortcut conversations and make sure everyone is talking on the same page!

Created by the Dynamic Locomotion Group at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems (MPI-IS), BirdBot serves two purposes: Demonstrating a more efficient bipedal robot design, and furthering our understanding of how birds' legs work.
Designed using off-the-shelf parts, a low-cost microcontroller, and a 3D-printed chassis, the HeRo 2.0 robot costs just $18 to build — and is at the heart of an effort to open swarm robotics up to a broader audience.

This is a multicopter that can fly close to bridges, overpasses, and other pieces of large infrastructure to perform high-pressure washing. Water is pumped to high pressure on the ground, then sent to the drone via a hose.
Using a highly-scalable approach to creating dense sensor networks, yet requiring only a pair of address lines, these researchers have taken inspiration from the human somatosensory system for a rapid-response sensitive sense of electronic touch.
Using satellite imagery or road schematic maps as "side information," the ViKiNG robot can plan its own miles-long route to a goal — measurably outperforming its strongest competitors, even when its side information is inaccurate or outdated.
