Ground robots teaming with soldiers in the battlefield -

UGV - Unmanned Ground Vehicle

Modern militaries are steadily integrating ground robots—often called robotic combat vehicles (RCVs) or autonomous ground systems (AGS)—as force multipliers that enhance the reach, endurance, and situational awareness of human units. These platforms handle hazardous or burdensome tasks, allowing squads and platoons to operate more safely and focus on mission execution. Ukraine’s extensive use of unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), including the delivery of more than 150 […] Read More

Shelf Scanning Robot – ShelfOptix -

Shelf Scanning Robot - ShelfOptix by Brain Corp

Shelf-scanning robots are autonomous systems designed to navigate store aisles, identify missing or misplaced products, and capture real-time inventory data with high accuracy. By using cameras, sensors, and intelligent software, these robots help retailers maintain on-shelf availability, reduce manual auditing work, and improve overall store efficiency. As automation continues to grow in the retail sector, shelf-scanning solutions are becoming essential tools for modern inventory management. […] Read More

PCB Board Design for Robotics Projects -

Designing your own PCB isn’t just about cutting costs — it’s about taking full control of your robot’s electronics. A custom board lets you integrate everything you need into one compact, reliable system, eliminating messy wiring and improving performance. While it can make your robot cheaper in the long run and if you mass produced it, the real advantage lies in precision, efficiency, and scalability. […] Read More

Robotic Workcell Design with Cloud-Based Optimization -

Two of the most critical success factors in the manufacturing industry are time to deployment and cycle time. Despite this, the design and deployment of robotic workcells has long remained a surprisingly manual and time-consuming process. Realtime Robotics is aiming to change that with Resolver, a cloud-based optimization engine that introduces industrial-scale automation into the earliest stages of robotic system planning. At its core, Resolver […] Read More

Crop Weed Control Robot -

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 […] Read More
