In this Qualified update we would like to introduce five innovators from the Brainport region (NL): specialists in Robotics vision, behavior and intelligence. If you need their expertise, feel free to contact them!
A robot is now increasingly able to control itself...
With the emergence of camera systems and intelligent viewers, a robot can detect objects and perform a certain action on that basis. The current robots are getting smarter and smarter. Where a robot was previously entirely depending on software or a script for a certain action, a robot is now increasingly able to control itself with machine visionand AI.The different vision techniques are therefore becoming more and more extensive.
As a specialist in robot programming and machine vision, Affix Engineering has all the knowledge to enable the robot to function perfectly with the input of various vision techniques, possible in combination with custom software. Learn more...
Control software still struggles with changing surroundings...
As advanced as most Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs, or AGVs) are, most control software still struggles with changing surroundings and mixed traffic. The demand for the capability to manage such environments, however, is increasing. Using sensors such as Lidar, Ultra-Wideband, 5G, and (depth) cameras to augment each other’s qualities, such problems can be solved. Combining these technologies requires intelligent algorithms.
As a development partner in mobile robotics, RUVU Robotics provides automation companies and robot OEMs with navigation software and consulting services for AMR and AGV development. Learn more...
COVID-19 speeds up the process to reduce human-to-human contact...
The world of autonomous mobile robots is ever-increasing. Industries worldwide are adopting robots into their business, and the COVID-19 virus speeds up this process to reduce human-to-human contact. However, developing industrial autonomous robots is a complex task for which many companies lack (a part of) the expertise. Most off-the-shelf robots are either inadequate or not available for their cases. And that’s no surprise; navigation, autonomous decision making, remote access and fleet management are just four of the many challenges that autonomous robots bring.
Making complex autonomous robots accessible to everyone – that is Avular’s mission. Therefore, Avular has developed the tools and access to the required knowledge to develop an autonomous mobile robotic yourself. With the Avular Prime (a robot’s brains), more than four different types of drones, a ground robot platform and several localization systems.
And for the companies that prefer to outsource the whole process, Avular develops custom solutions through their engineering services. Learn more...
Multiple robots gather information without putting human lives at risk...
Robots have become increasingly important in supporting efficient and safe work environments, with great examples of robotic applications in the defence and security industry. They are easy to operate, intuitive to deploy, reliable and expendable. Multiple robots could gather information without putting human lives at risk.
TMC Employeneurs are developing compact and robust reconnaissance robots that can be used to increase situational awareness in urban areas, especially when in hazardous or dangerous environments. Learn more...
Handling natural products with a robot asks for custom vision solutions
Picking object from a belt is something robots are increasingly good at. With the use of 3D camera products it is fairly straightforward to pick boxes and machine objects from a belt. Natural products like bulbs is something quite different. In an application where we needed to place bulbs in a pot, the orientation of the roots and the top are important. Aris has developed extensive knowledge that helps us to realize these kind of robotic projects. In addition to techniques like deep learning it might involve special lighting or multiple cameras.
Aris has extensive experience in (greenhouse) horticulture and meat processing. Our camera systems are operational worldwide in greenhouses, research laboratories and in food factories. Where scientific partners often cannot provide the total system, Aris can. We are able to offer integrated solutions, with all associated Experiment Management software, mechanics and total logistics handling, including service and support. Learn more...
