The Robot Report

Kudos to Brightpick for the launch of the new higher-reaching "Giraffe" robot. The Brickpick Autopicker was already impressive (a 2024 RBR50 The Brightpick Giraffe has a telescopic lift that retracts during travel, reducing its height to 8.5 ft. (2.6 m), so it can be loaded and unloaded from a truck pre-assembled and upright. Giraffe uses a new withdrawer to retrieve storage totes from upper-level shelf locations and deliver them to lower levels, where Autopicker can access them for picking at heights up to 11 ft. (3.4 m). https://lnkd.in/gY2WrwvU

Had a great time on The Robot Report podcast with Mike Oitzman and Eugene Demaitre! We got into how Robotics 88 drones are changing the game for land managers—making large-scale prescribed burns safer, smarter, and more effective in the fight against wildfires. Our autonomous drones are uniquely able to fly subcanopy to get high-resolution on-the-ground fuels data. Excited to share how this tech is being put to work!

We're back with a new episode of The Robot Report Podcast! This week, we talk with Erin Linebarger, Ph.D., the 2024 RoboBusiness Pitchfire winner, about how Robotics 88 is developing drones to manage prescribed wildfire burns. Listen now: https://lnkd.in/gMK2Cj3J
