Weed that grow among crops is a problem in many ways since humanity started agriculture. Weeds compete with crops for water, soil nutrients, sunlight. They can host pets, harbor diseases. They cost labor to remove them, either manually or chemically. This also increases overall costs and chemical removal may mean environmental impacts. Overall, weeds cause lower crop yield, decrease in quality, and higher costs. Considering all these, it is a very critical task, to remove them as efficiently as possible, which is where robots can be very useful and bring the costs down. A robot that is developed in Spain, which is called “The GreenBot” aims to undertake such task. […] Read More

Technology overview Collaborative robots (also known as co-bots; an emerging automation technology) are designed to work alongside humans with precision, strength, and speed for achieving high efficiency in production. Collaborative robots differ from industrial robots in several ways, such as the absence of “safety fence” while working alongside humans, simplified programming and reduced setup time, integration of auto-speed reduction and distance monitoring or proximity sensors, and ability to reduce motor power and force in case a worker is working too close to the co-bot. Co-bots are safe and easy to operate, and yield quick return on investment (ROI). These robots offer quick ROI owing to their numerous advantages, such as […] Read More

PITTSBURGH, PA – June 21, 2017 – RE2 Robotics announced today that the Company was selected by the Air Force to develop a drop-in robotic system to rapidly convert a variety of traditionally manned aircraft to robotically piloted, autonomous aircraft under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program. This robotic system, named “Common Aircraft Retrofit for Novel Autonomous Control” (CARNAC), will operate the aircraft similarly to a human pilot and will not require any modifications to the aircraft. Automation and autonomy have broad value to the Department of Defense with the potential to enhance system performance of existing platforms, reduce costs, and enable new missions and capabilities, especially with reduced […] Read More

How industrial robots will shape the work to come Industry 4.0 is one of the most discussed topic worldwide. All over the world, the race for innovation has become one on the main challenges that nations and companies have to face, working to create new policies able to take into account factors like Big Data, digitization and industrial robots. According to many, the latter is about to revolutionize every piece of our lives, and is about to transform the world into something where everything is automated and interconnected, where everything is based on digital technologies, and where men and machines work together. The age of the robot rush Industrial robots […] Read More

Québec City, Canada, September 12, 2016 – Robotiq launches DoF, an open community where industrial automation professionals share their know-how and get answers to accelerate their robotics projects. DoF is meant as a medium for sharing ideas and solving automation problems. “We realized that the know-how is locked in the head of automation engineers who can’t talk to each other because they are far apart, focused on making their factory run,” explains Samuel Bouchard, CEO of Robotiq. “This is why we created this online community, to bring industrial automation pros together so they can help each other with their automation projects and stop reinventing the wheel on their own.” Members […] Read More
