Interact Analysis expects annual shipments will jump from less than 2,000 in 2022, to just above 50,000 by the end of the decade.

Robotics Summit attendees will learn how simulation can test robot applications in photo-realistic, physically accurate environments.

Full-system simulators have brought a true paradigm shift in the world of programming, development and robotics—and one that can’t be ignored. Simulations offer the environment needed to accelerate development and testing time by up to 90 percent. Learn how Wind River’s Senior Solution Architect, James Hui, designs Simics to help organizations and global teams scale…

Agility Robotics, ANYbotics, Boston Dynamics, Clearpath Robotics, Open Robotics and Unitree pledged not to support the weaponization of their products and are calling for others in the industry to do the same.

Karthee Madasamy, founder and managing partner of Mobile Foundation Ventures, Sherwin Prior, director of Amazon’s Industrial Innovation Fund, and Fady Saad, founder and general partner of Cybernetix Ventures, to discuss the state of robotics investment.

Each year, the RBR50 Robotics Innovation Awards program receives more nominations than can fit in the annual list. This year, the final selection reflects more rigorous judging criteria, current technological and business trends in robotics, and the world. Since companies of different sizes build robots for widely differing applications, it is difficult to compare them…

This virtual summit will highlight the impact, success stories, lessons learned, and outputs from 9 pandemic-focused projects.

In one of his final acts in office, President Trump issued 73 full pardons and commuted 70 sentences late Tuesday evening. Anthony Levandowski, the former Google and Uber autonomous vehicle engineer who was sentenced to 18 months in prison on one count of stealing trade secrets, received one of those pardons. With the full pardon,…

Multi-domain operations (MDO) the Army’s future operating concept, requires autonomous agents with learning components to operate alongside humans. New Army research reduces the unpredictability of current training reinforcement learning policies so that they are more practically applicable to physical systems, especially ground robots. These learning components will permit autonomous agents to reason and adapt to…

We now know why Hyundai Motor was so interested in Boston Dynamics. Forget about robots for construction, inspection or healthcare. Hyundai clearly was interested in its robot choreography skills. Or not. Set to The Contours’ “Do You Love Me,” Boston Dynamics’ entire lineup of robots – Atlas, Handle, and Spot – are seen cutting a…

Han’s Robot, which has rebranded itself as Neura Robotics, is offering the LARA cobot arm, the MAV mobile robot, and the MIRA mobile manipulator based on its own hardware and software.

Walmart’s decision to end its five year experiment with Bossa Nova Robotics and their in-store robot program was unexpected, but upon further analysis not without merit, at least in the short term. Other robotics companies servicing the retail sector are progressing, but they must continue to innovate to be successful.

Cognitive Agro Pilot, the AI-based vision and autonomy system from Cognitive Pilot, helped farmers across Russia with their fall harvests.
