ROEQ, the global leader in mobile robotic equipment (MRE), has launched two new top modules and accompanying accessories designed to boost the payload and lifting capabilities of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) from industry leader Mobile Industrial Robots (MiR). The new ROEQ TMS-C1500 allows MiR AMRs to transport up to 1500 kg for the first time.

New products include WiBotic’s first passively cooled onboard charger, two transmitters that use the latest gallium nitride (GaN) technology from GaN Systems for maximum efficiency, and more.

MiR600 and MiR1350, the market’s first IP52-rated AMRs, are designed for transporting heavy materials through challenging manufacturing and logistic warehouse environments.

As strong demands of Edge AI storm across industries, ASRock Industrial delivers the most reliable, flexible, and powerful iEPF-9000S Series/ iEP-9000E Series Ruggedized Edge AIoT Platform with wide connectivity options.

Real-Time Innovations (RTI), the largest software framework company for autonomous systems, today announced the latest version of its industry-leading software framework, RTI Connext.

Autonomously moving drones and other robots must observe their environment and interpret their observations without interruption. Using current technologies, this requires more energy than the batteries of a lightweight device can provide. That is why VTT and its partners are developing a fast, safe and energy-efficient machine vision system inspired by the human vision system.

The scanGrid2 safe multibeam scanner from SICK is the first of its kind in the world. The compact sensor uses a novel and in-house developed solid-state LiDAR technology to increase the productivity of small autonomous and line-guided transport vehicles.

Stretch is designed to make warehouse operations safer and more efficient.

AGV handles around the clock operation to support production machinery.

New Simcenter SCAPTOR enables closed-loop development of autonomous vehicles.

ITTIA, a leading provider of high-performance embedded database software for autonomous systems and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) devices, announced a design-win enabling BitCtrl to unlock the value of data.

InnoSenT’s new edition of a classic product offers high-precision distance measurement.

The micro-fulfillment solution utilizes the company’s t-Sort autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) to optimize operations in a store backroom, micro-fulfillment center (MFC) or dark store.

The MiR1000 is designed as a collaborative, safe and flexible alternative to fork lifts on the factory floor. MiR is also releasing artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities across all of its AMRs for navigation.

An autonomous driving system, the RS-IPLS features real-time data pre-processing and a “gaze” function similar to human eyes.

The MiR500 is the same size as a standard Euro-pallet (47.2 in × 31.5 in × 5.7 in), and MiR expects that most MiR500s will be used to transport pallets in manufacturing floors and warehouses.

CartConnect, RollerTop and the complete line of VirtualConveyor solutions will be shown for the first time at MODEX 2018 at booth #B4835.

Our customer in this instance was a manufacturer of autonomous and semi-autonomous farming systems. The company wanted to integrate advanced optics in their machinery in order to better detect the edge of crops, speeding up harvesting and minimizing any product loss. Specifically, their aim was to enable their harvesting vehicles to "sweep" the fields more precisely and avoid missing any sections and ultimately help farmers increase productivity.
