Episode notes
Best Demo with Real-Time Robotics
- Mike Oitzman described the best demo at Automate being Real-Time Robotics' Resolver product.
- It featured four robot arms from different companies simultaneously performing tasks with real-time collision avoidance and optimized path planning.
Ceiling-Mounted Mobile Robots
- CeiliX innovated by creating a ceiling-mounted AMR that crawls mechanically on installed ceiling structures.
- This approach leverages unused overhead space for transport and robotic applications, providing flexibility beyond traditional gantry systems.
UR15's Market Impact Potential
- The UR15 collaborative robot platform is expected to generate revenues comparable to or exceeding all current UR sales within three years.
- The platform combines high payload, speed, UL certification, AI integration, and motion control for new and expanded applications.
