The 2014 to 2024 period is going to be challenging for the global automotive industry as automotive OEMs, auto suppliers, and other members of the ecosystem will need to address the megatrends which are currently shaping the future of the industry; stricter emission requirements, new safety regulations and rising consumer trends. These megatrends create opportunities for new production lines which in turn require the modernisation of the automotive manufacturing process to meet the rising demand.
Earlier this year, Berkeley Lab’s Molecular Foundry got a new suite of robotic synthesis tools called the Overture and the Symphony X (pictured above), automated chemical synthesizers that assemble custom molecular structures called peptoids.
Physik Instrumente (PI) has developed parallel kinematic Hexapod systems with magnetic direct drives. They offer extremely high dynamics and are intended for motion simulations and test equipment in industry and research.
Blue Prism, the leading developer of enterprise Robotic Process Automation (RPA) software, today announced that CEO Alastair Bathgate will present at Xconomy Robo Madness West, happening April 7 in Menlo Park, Calif.
The University of Maryland and FIRST will host the 2015 Chesapeake Regional FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) April 2-4, 2015, at the XFINITY Center on the university's College Park, Md., campus. More than 1,000 high school students from Maryland, around the country, and from three other countries will go head-to-head to secure a spot in the international competition.
Taking place every three years the international competition is based on new innovative ideas, based on the implementation of PLC (Programmable Logic Control) and HMI (Human Machine Interface). There are five categories: building automation, education, environment, recreation and inspiring engineers, of which Francy was the only environmental entrant.
Senior executives across industries agree that new software "robots", leveraging attributes such as machine learning, artificial intelligence, and effective use of big data, will unlock significant value within the next three to five years, according to a new study released by Cognizant.
The FirstEnergy Foundation has donated $2,500 to the Pittsburgh Chapter of the National Tooling and Machining Foundation, Inc., to help area students build robots through the Southwestern Pennsylvania BotsIQ Program, a science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) program. This marks the second year the program has received support from the FirstEnergy Foundation.
The mobile robotic telepresence (MRT) sector will reach US$372M in 2019, up from US$42M in 2014, for a CAGR of 54.4% according to a new study published by ABI Research entitled Mobile Robotic Telepresence Systems. Mobile robotic telepresence systems will find the greatest success in the healthcare, business management, retail, facilities management and operations, MRO, and manufacturing sectors for applications where independent mobility and embodied presence are called for, and where high levels of social interaction are required.
Superconductive automation modules are opening up possibilities for new applications Superconductors are opening up possibilities for entirely new, previously unthinkable applications in automation technology.
