Industrial Robots

Deep learning is a relatively new but cery powerful concept for machine intelligence. Combined with cloud robotics, where robots share what they learn with each other immediately, this has huge potential in getting robots much more involved in our lives. Note that the artice discusses about industrial robots here, but, domestic robots will very soon follow as usual. For the detailed artice, see below: https://www.technologyreview.com/s/601045/this-factory-robot-learns-a-new-job-overnight/#/set/id/601069/ Read More

On the surface, global supply chains are responsible for getting products to move from point A to point B. But as you begin to dig deeper into the layers, you find that there are many, complex components, and processes needed to logistically perform order fulfillment. In order to thrive, global supply chains need to maintain accuracy, productivity and efficiency across all operations, components and processes. […] Read More

Humanoid Robot called Baxter was launched by Rethink Robotics at a sale price of $22,000, which was designed by an Australian robotics and artificial-intelligence expert Rodney Brooks. Baxter is a complete system and there is no need for complex programming or expensive integration. As it has behavior based intelligence, it can be easily programmed in order to do simple jobs. Baxter is trainable by non-technical […] Read More
