One of the questions asked was "Which building design features will be important? Globally, 54% of respondents said that the use of automation and robotics would impact warehouse design. In the Americas, that number rose to 59% of respondents.
AMRs differ across several dimensions, including the processes they support and how they orchestrate workflows within a facility. But it is fair to say that a large majority of units deployed currently support the kind of picking done in ecommerce warehouses.
Alphabet's Intrinsic aims to make industrial robots more capable – TechCrunch
Alphabet's public-facing history with robotics has, thus far, been a spotty one. Most notably, Google X's big acquisition push culminated in its selling Boston Dynamics to SoftBank (who eventually flipped it to Hyundai).
Unveiled today through the X blog , Intrinsic certainly fits the bill. In fact, it's kind of an ideal take for Alphabet.
Boston Dynamics Unveils New Robots Able To Realistically Behave Like They Under Researchers'
WALTHAM, MA—Touting new gains in artificial intelligence, engineering firm Boston Dynamics reportedly unveiled new robots Monday that are able to realistically behave like they're under researchers' control.
Alphabet launches Intrinsic unit to build software for industrial robots | FierceElectronics
Alphabet just launched a new company called Intrinsic out of its X tech prototyping unit as an independent entity to develop software tools for industrial robots.
The goal is to make industrial robots easier to use, less costly and more flexible, so they can be used to make products and services primarily for the auto, electronics, and health care industries.The technology has been under development for more than five years at Alphabet, the parent of
Robots, automation and pod factories: How cell and gene therapy makers are catching production up
Where some gene therapy players might "go big" and put down brick and mortar facilities, Avrobio went the opposite direction.
The biotech's portable manufacturing units are automated, self-contained and tailored to the company's specific ex-vivo lentiviral process. They're also about as big as a washing machine.
5 ASCs onboarding spine robots
1. Woodbury, Minn.-based Summit Orthopedics' Eagan Surgery Center reportedly was the first ASC in the state to perform spine surgery with the Mazor X Stealth Edition robotic system.

Why every robot needs a spiffy hat | Engadget
First developed more than 100,000 years ago, clothing is one of humanity's earliest — and most culturally significant — inventions, providing wearers not just protection from the environment and elements but also signifying social status, membership in a community and their role within that group.

Suction Cups in Robotics: Introducing Wall-Climbing Robots
Robotics is one of the major disruptive technologies helping multiple industries and organizations to boost productivity efficiently and effectively with moving, gripping, cleaning, and lifting objects.
It has been observed that multiple robots are assisting human employees in some horizontal areas such as a body, object, water, floor, etc. But there are vertical failures when the robots are climbing high walls of tanks, dams, or boilers.
