The RBR50 Robotics Innovation Awards highlight the most creative and influential innovations from around the world. The deadline to apply is January 10, 2023.

For today’s heavy manufacturers, conveyance automation systems must be extremely robust and capable of transporting high-capacity payloads, yet also deliver the high levels of flexibility, safety and scalability expected from today’s mobile robotic systems. Modern automated guided vehicles can do just that.

Monarch Tractor’s recent petition to Cal/OSHA may have been denied, but this outcome is not the setback many fear. CEO Praveen Penmetsa shares why.

What is the state of the robotics and automation sector at 2022’s midpoint? ABI Research’s Lian Jye Su has a few thoughts, five in fact.

Manufacturers must continue to automate to remain competitive, but the introduction of robotics systems will impact their facilities and human workers. The results of a recent survey by Veo Robotics of 500 manufacturers the US, UK, and Japan provides insights into the optimal path forward when introducing robotics systems, and challenges conventional thinking.

The autonomous vehicle and robotics sectors often employ LiDAR as the primary system navigation sensor. But cameras and vision-based perception will increasingly serve as the technological underpinning for mobile robots going forward.

The robotics and automation sector’s premier business development event seeks session submissions that highlight commercial opportunities for robotics solution providers, and speak to robotics and business innovation in all its forms.
