Sarcos CEO Kiva Allgood to keynote Field Robotics Engineering Forum

-

Kiva Allgood, CEO of Sarcos, will kick off the second day of the 2022 Field Robotics Engineering Forum by discussing how dexterous robots can be used to assist workers in challenging, unstructured environments.

Sarcos acquired Pittsburgh-based RE2 Robotics in March 2022 for $100M. RE2 has a product line of remotely teleoperated robotics solutions, including underwater ROVs and terrestrial, dual-arm robotics solutions. Combined with the “classic” Sarcos exoskeletons, the combined company has a unique portfolio of field robotics solutions.

I visited the Sarcos Salt City headquarters in May 2022 for a media briefing event. At the event, I had the opportunity to operate the RE2 teleoperated arm and get a feel for how the Sarcos exoskeleton functions. Sarcos is in the early prototype phase of development for its next generation of exoskeletons. A lighter weight and more functional version of their existing Guardian XO, it also promises to be able to walk autonomously, without a human “driver” wearing it.

This keynote will be one of the highlights of the 2022 Field Robotics Engineering Forum, as Allgood will discuss advanced robotics, such as dexterous teleoperated and autonomous mobile robotic systems, and how these systems will revolutionize the way work is accomplished in complex, unstructured settings such as outdoor and subsea applications. She will discuss her vision of the future of these types of robotic systems, including how emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and supervised autonomy will play a significant role.
 

She will also share real-world examples and use cases of how advanced robotics systems can improve work across many different industries, such as construction, aviation, solar, maritime/subsea, power utilities, and nondestructive testing.

Chipotle testing avocado processing robot in test kitchen

Chipotle Mexican Grill announced Autocado, an avocado processing cobotic prototype that cuts, cores, and peels avocados before they are hand mashed to create the restaurant’s famous guacamole. The prototype, developed in collaboration with Vebu , is currently being tested at the Chipotle Cultivate Center in Irvine , California.  How Autocado works  A team member loads Autocado with a full case of ripe avocados and selects the size setting. Autocado can hold up to 25 lbs. of avocados at once. One at a time, avocados are vertically oriented, then transferred to the processing device. The avocados are sliced in half. Their cores and skin are automatically removed, and the waste is discarded.  The fruit is safely collected in a stainless-steel bowl at the bottom of the device.  A team member removes the bowl of avocado fruit and moves it to the counter where they add additional ingredients and hand mash the avocados to make Chipotle’s signature guacamole.  How the Autocado idea s

Noah Medical’s Galaxy System is used in the US for the first time

Noah Medical announced that its Galaxy System, an integrated system for navigated robotic bronchoscopy, was used for the first time in the United States at the University of Chicago Medicine by Dr. Kyle Hogarth.  This procedure marks the first commercial release of the Galaxy System in the US following its recent FDA clearance and first-in-human trials at Macquarie University Hospital in Sydney, Australia. The system was designed to give physicians more confidence in locating and navigating to lung nodules during biopsies as part of a more effective and efficient bronchoscopy procedure.   “The Galaxy System is the first robot for peripheral lung navigation that includes integrated imaging, which is the solution bronchoscopists have been asking for,” Hogarth said. “We are excited to be the first hospital in the United States to implement this next-generation robotic solution for our patients which we believe will improve and expedite the early diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer.

Inside Comaus testing of Intrinsic Flowstate

Intrinsic tested its latest platform and Flowstate with Comau , an Italian-based robot manufacturer and global systems integrator. Comau has been working with Intrinsic for several years now to validate Intrinsic’s platform technology and developer product, Flowstate, through real-world use cases.  Flowstate, announced earlier this year in May , is a robotic software development platform. It’s Intrinsic’s first developer product built on the Intrinsic platform. Comau was also introduced as the company’s first industry partner in May.  The Intrinsic Flowstate software  adds a layer of abstraction to traditional robotic software tools with the goal of reducing the development skillset required while making it easier than ever before to program a robot in simulation. “Partnering with Comau over the years has brought our team a tremendous amount of expertise, knowledge, and real-world use cases to focus our efforts on. We’re excited for what’s next and what it will mean to the solutio
