Automation made as easy as 1-2-3 Traditionally, Industrial automation has needed teams of expert programmers and engineers, putting robots out of the reach of many manufacturers. Cobots have changed this and offer simplicity as standard. Building your own Cobot ecosystem can be done in 3 easy steps. 1) Pick a Cobot - consider your requirements for payload and reach, as well as the space you have available. 2) Choose your tooling - Cobots offer a flexible approach and can be programmed to weld, grind, sand, assemble plus many more applications 3) Add on accessories - not always necessary for every project, but a variety of accessories such as light curtains for extra safety or light stacks for visual feedback are available to complete your installation If you want to see Cobot automation in person then we have a variety of Cobots available for on site demonstrations and trials. Contact us if you would like to find out more. https://lnkd.in/e_dz5JgH #manufacturingautomation #cobots #industrialrobots #productionsolutions

Affordable and Skillful Robots with Mobile ALOHA's Bimanual Teleoperation A recent article from Stanford University, introduces Mobile ALOHA. This system, costing around $32k, combines a mobile base with a whole-body teleoperation interface. It uses imitation learning from human demonstrations to perform complex tasks such as cooking, cleaning, and interacting with objects in a human-like manner. For specific tasks, successful performance was achieved with as few as 20 to 50 in-domain human demonstrations. This efficiency in learning complex mobile manipulation tasks is a key advantage of the Mobile ALOHA system. The research also demonstrates that co-training with static datasets significantly improves the performance of the system in various real-world tasks. https://lnkd.in/eQjJSbQs

A key aspect of Micropsi Industries' MIRAI 2 technology that sets it apart from traditional #robot #visionsystems is its ability to operate without relying on #CAD data. Instead, it uses data captured by the #camera from the actual operating environment. Matt Jones with Micropsi explained that, with robot #pickandplace applications, for example, there can be a lot of variation the robot has to deal with, such as changing positions or changing backgrounds behind the object to be picked. In one of the MIRAI 2 demonstrations shown at #Automate2024, multiple brake pads were placed randomly in a box filled with crumpled paper. After the robot dropped a brake pad onto the paper in the box, it doesn’t know the exact position of the brake pad when it goes to pick it again because of the change caused by the drop. This constantly changing background of crumpled paper adds further complexity to the picking task. Plus, there’s the issue of changing light reflections off of the highly reflective brake pads after being dropped onto the paper. Learn more about this technology at: https://lnkd.in/eFhh_5vB

Imagine having a robot that handles virtually all your chores, freeing you to focus on more significant tasks. The Google DeepMind Mobile Aloha, a low-cost robot, is designed for precisely that purpose. Developed by Stanford University researchers using imitation learning, this robot has mastered complex tasks. With just 50 demonstrations, Mobile Aloha autonomously handles tasks like cooking, cleaning, navigating elevators, and even storing items in cabinets. And the best part? It's completely open-sourced, promising new possibilities for everyone. 

Demonstration of Realman bimanual teleoperational robotic kit This kit is designed to be accessible and provide hands-on experience with advanced robotics systems, allowing performances of end-to-end imitation learning directly from real-world demonstrations, collected with a custom teleoperation interface. Manipulation is a fundamental capability robots need for many real-world applications. Backed by Realman ultra-lightweight robotic arm RM65, at a 1:1.44 weight-payload ration, this system is capable of performing precise, dynamic, and contact-intensive tasks by imitating the real-world demonstrations at even 5kg payload and dexterous manipulation. #BimanualTeleoperation #HumanoidRobot #MachineLearning #ImitationLearning #Robotics
