Automated singulation and sorting of parcels poses opportunities and challenges for logistics providers, both during holiday rushes and the current pandemic, write Photoneo executives.

Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University and Facebook AI Research created a navigation system for robots powered by common sense. The technique uses machine learning to teach robots how to recognize objects and understand where they’re likely to be found in house.

ANYbotics’ ANYmal C is a multi-module machine designed to handle varied terrain. The company’s executives explain the computing architecture enabling the quadruped robot’s motion and missions.

MIT researchers have developed a representation of spatial perception for robots that is modeled after the way humans perceive and navigate the world.

Robots typically have trouble grabbing transparent or shiny objects. A new technique developed by Carneige Mellon University hopes to fix that by using color cameras and machine learning to see shapes based on color.

Skydio has raised $100 million in Series C funding as the U.S. drone maker expands its offerings to enterprise and government markets. The company also named new executives.

Helm.ai said its Deep Teaching approach does not rely on massive data sets gathered by fleets but still yields autonomous systems that can generalize behavior.

In June 2020, autonomous vehicles, industrial automation, and mobile robots benefitted from an uptick in funding.

Optimum Data Management Solutions has developed “Clever Klaus,” an automated system that includes IDS smart cameras to assist visual inspections in manufacturing.

3D vision offers robotics and other industrial automation some unique advantages, but users should be aware of cost considerations, says Mitsubishi Electric.

Clara Vu, CTO of Veo Robotics, explains how speed and separation monitoring are part of the picture for making robots more collaborative in manufacturing settings.
