GrayMatter Robotics’ Post

It's INCREDIBLE to see what a #robot and a #visionsystem can do when they work together. But a lot of people don't know the process behind getting them to do just that: work together. This is where hand-eye alignment comes in. It refers to the synchronization or alignment between the robot’s hand (end effector) and its vision system (camera or sensor). Learn how this works over on the #SICKUSABlog! #robotics #innovation #technology #engineering #future

Very interesting article that discusses the role of robotics in the manufacturing industry, its history, applications, benefits, and future prospects. Pretty cool to break down the history of robotics in manufacturing from its early stages in the 1930s to the present day, where robots collaborate with human workers (co-bots) on almost all tasks. 🏭💡 Did you know that robotics in manufacturing can significantly improve safety, productivity, and product quality? How are you incorporating robotics into your manufacturing processes to stay ahead in the industry? #Robotics #Manufacturing 🤖 https://lnkd.in/gRWQs49d

As the landscape of robots is evolving, factories are shifting focus towards adopting automation. With the help of robots, shot peening becomes easy so there is no need for skilled labor. Discover how this revolution is making strides in the manufacturing industry in our latest blog post! #shotpeening #manufacturing #robotics #industrialautomation

Not to worry any of the engineers in my network, but found this article super interesting (and scary!!) Two companies, Figure AI Inc. and Ubtech Robotics, are working to make humanoid robots viable for use in tasks traditionally developed for human hands. What will this mean for the future of Automation and Robotics??? #industrialautomation #robotics #automationengiener #controlsengineering #automationengineering

Worried about cycle time? "Our team has developed Optimization-as-a-Service (OaaS), which uses a proprietary algorithm to find high-performing design options that would otherwise take months to be discovered by a team of engineers. We have obtained speedups of 5-20 percent...compared to designs that were laboriously developed by experienced engineers," says Realtime Robotics co-founder Daniel Sorin in the latest Motion Control by SAE Media Group. https://lnkd.in/esuUugei  #optimization #robotics #motionplanning #cycletime

From palletizing to preparing food, collaborative robots are revolutionizing the way work is done. Of course, to get the most bang for your buck, you must understand a few key considerations in selecting the right robot for the job. Weighing factors such as sizing, safety features, functionality, and more is paramount in properly optimizing any workflow. Recently, we teamed up with Tech Briefs to outline some of the most important considerations for selecting a cobot for your manufacturing application. Check it out in the link below and let us know in the comments how you’re using robotic solutions to introduce greater efficiency to your business and Switch On The Future of work! #DoosanRobotics #Robotics #Manufacturing #Work #Automation #TechBriefs #Doosan

Pivot Robots (YC W24) is building the AI brain for robot arms for high-mix manufacturing. Nearly 75% of U.S. manufacturers are high-mix, producing a wide variety of parts in small quantities. They can't use traditional robotics, whose software is designed for repetitive production. With 2.4 million jobs unfilled by 2030, the U.S. risks losing $1 trillion annually without adaptable automation. Pivot Robots combines off-the-shelf robots and vision sensors with recent breakthroughs in foundation vision models to give industrial robot arms the power to adapt. Their first product directly addresses the dangerous and unpopular task of grinding metal parts. Currently, their software is being deployed on 10+ robots at a large cast iron foundry. Behind Pivot Robots are Siddharth Girdhar and Vignesh Rajmohan, who met on their first day at Carnegie Mellon. Since then, they’ve collected rich robotics and AI experience from Meta, Google X, Uber ATG, and ABB and are excited to use it all to solve challenges in robotic automation for industries ripe for innovation. Congrats Siddharth and Vignesh on the launch!
