New technologies are gracing the industrial sector on a daily basis. Many factories and plant manufacturing companies are automating their operations with robotic solutions. One incredible technology you may need to be well-acquainted with is palletizing.
It refers to the operation of loading an object on a pallet or similar device. Over the years, manual hand loading has been employed to organize products into pallet loads for distribution and storage.
Humanoid robots are coming to a warehouse near you
Details: Digit, which is built to work alongside humans, can lift and move plastic bins in a warehouse or distribution center.
How it works: Digit is designed to pull plastic bins called "totes" from a warehouse wall and move them wherever they need to go, taking up the same footprint as a human.
How Can AI Help Socially Intelligent Robots Flourish?
In artificial intelligence and robotics, social intelligence in robots is a relatively recent development.
Researchers are aiming for more fundamental but also more biologically and developmentally plausible milestones in sensorimotor skills that emphasize the embodied nature of human intelligence.
AI and robots fuel new job displacement fears
Threat level: It seems clear that automation will continue to erode certain jobs, as it has already done in the manufacturing realm.
What they're saying: Automation "could increase productivity while reducing wages and employment," says Daron Acemoglu, a professor and labor economist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Robots Using Legs as Arms to Climb and Push Buttons - IEEE Spectrum
We've gotten used to thinking of quadrupedal robots as robotic versions of dogs. And, to be fair, it's right there in the word "quadrupedal.
Roboticists at CMU and UC Berkeley are training robot dogs to use their legs for manipulation , not just locomotion, demonstrating skills that include climbing walls, pressing buttons, and even kicking a soccer ball.
