Information of the week
Introducing Determine AI’s latest innovation, the advanced humanoid robot, Determine 02, a significant upgrade to its precursor, Determine 01. The brand-new F.02 model features a sleek matte-black finish, coupled with refined performance enhancements.
With a significant 50% enhancement in battery life, the robot’s advanced fingers offer 16 levels of dexterity, enabling it to lift objects weighing up to 25 kilograms or 55.1 pounds, setting the stage for a groundbreaking innovation. The corporation is poised to scale up production and intends to distribute its robotic solutions to various industrial and warehousing sectors.
J. acquired Mushy Robotics’ precision robotic gripper division. The company, Schmalz GmbH, has procured an unspecified amount of goods from an unknown supplier. As the leading developer of vacuum technology based in Glattbach, Germany, Schmalz has established itself as a pioneer in its field, crafting a wide range of innovative solutions including suction cups, vacuum turbines, and comprehensive gripping and clamping systems.
Mark Chiappetta, President and CEO, instructed. The Robotic Report Schmalz is acquiring Mushy Robotics’ intellectual property, alongside various personnel and services.
Prepared Robotics, a startup striving to create a universal working system for robots, has hit a roadblock after its efforts to secure additional funding fell short, according to reliable sources. The corporation’s ForgeOS, intended to operate seamlessly across various robotic manufacturers, struggled to gain momentum within the industry.
While significant advancements have been made in robotic programming interfaces, a crucial aspect often overlooked is the comprehensive training and support offered by experienced manufacturers like FANUC, which has become a vital component in elevating trade funding.
To address market hurdles, Prepared Robotics shifted its focus towards developing a palletizing system, a highly competitive space with numerous existing solutions currently available. Eventually, the corporation redirected its attention to providing expert robotics guidance.
Sources familiar with the development reveal that Symbotic has acquired Veo Robotics, a pioneering startup dedicated to revolutionizing industrial robotics by developing innovative security capabilities to transform machines into collaborative partners. Veo’s pioneering FreeMove solution leverages cutting-edge sensor technology and sophisticated artificial intelligence to craft a safeguarded workspace where humans and robots harmoniously coexist within a shared environment.
The know-how involves capturing and analysing three-dimensional photographs of a workcell to forecast potential hazards and adjust robotic behaviour accordingly. Symbotic has officially acquired Veo’s intellectual property related to industrial robotic security, as well as welcomed the entire Veo group into its fold.
Several ex-Veo employees have recently updated their LinkedIn profiles to reflect new job roles at Symbotic.
