Skin-like sensors almost always fit
The Robotics and AI Institute MIRMI at the Technical University of Munich has developed an automated process to produce soft sensors. The measuring cells are to be used in robotics and prosthetics in particular.

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.

Robot arms must not drop or fall uncontrollably after the power is switched off, in the event of a power failure or emergency stop. Brakes hold the servo axes securely in position. There is now a new modular system for servo brakes from mayr power transmission.

A payload of up to 8 kg and a reach of 1018 mm are among the features of the 'Horst1000' robot kinematics system that fruitcore robotics is launching on the market.
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.
Autonomous systems are about to revolutionize factories and warehouses. This article shows how Simulink is used to set up a continuous pick-and-place workflow for a mobile manipulator such as the Kinova Gen3 on a mobile Husky robot.
Industrial robots are increasingly being used for inspection and maintenance work, particularly in environments that are awkward, difficult to access or unsafe for humans. Integrating them into everyday working life is often a challenge. A pilot project aims to help.
