With a ready-made software solution from B&R, machine builders can create pick-and-place applications in just a few minutes.
Exoskeletons are proving to be a game changer in health prevention, rehabilitation and occupational safety. After all, 'human augmentation' can help physically hard-working people to do their job in a sustainably healthy way.
Together with Multipix Imaging Components and MVTec Software, Irish Manufacturing Research has developed a pick & place application for the medical sector. Thanks to industrial image processing, the robot can reliably recognize complex-shaped, highly reflective components.
Interview with S. Brandstetter, B&R
In 2020, B&R acquired Codian-Robotics and offers machine automation and robotics from a single source. But what advantage does a machine manufacturer have when they integrate a robot into their machine? Sebastian Brandstetter from B&R explains in an interview.

Simple automation with robotics and artificial intelligence: with this concept, the Jarvis research team won the Kuka Innovation Award 2023, which was endowed with 20,000 euros and focused on the simple operation and maximum flexibility of robots.

Automatica came to an end on June 30, 2023 after four days of trade fairs. "A brilliant comeback after just one year," Messe München, the organizer, proudly sums up.

International Federation of Robotics
Almost 72,000 industrial robots were installed in the 27 member states of the European Union in 2022 - an increase of 6% compared to the previous year. These are the preliminary results presented by the International Federation of Robotics.

Omron has announced the release of 'Fleet Operations Workspace (Flow) Core 3.0' software. The platform extends the operational capabilities of LD and HD series autonomous mobile robots (AMR) and facilitates AMR deployment and fleet management.
In recent years, so-called lightweight robots have been developed. They are also known as collaborative robots or cobots. A group of scientists at RWTH Aachen University has researched how these mechanical helpers can be integrated into a system.
