Global Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Robotics

  Welcome to Episode 85 of The Robot Report Podcast , which brings conversations with robotics innovators straight to you. Join us each week for discussions with leading roboticists, innovative robotics companies and other key members of the robotics community. Our guest this week is Mike Dooley, co-founder and CEO of robotics startup Labrador Systems . Founded in 2017, the Calabasas, Calif.-based company is developing autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) for home environments to help the elderly and those with mobility issues live independently longer. The AMRs can transport things around the home and even retrieve items off countertops and tables. We discuss the technical challenges and decisions involved with building the robots, as well as the business challenges such as funding and working with insurance companies. Mike also details how his days at Evolution Robotics and iRobot are helping direct the Labrador Systems journey. Labrador Systems was named a 2022 RBR50 Robotics I...

Six industrial robot solutions won the 2022 Red Dot Design Award. | Credit: Red Dot The Red Dot Design Award represents the best in design and business. This international design competition honors product companies who distinguish their business activities through design. The distinction is based on the principle of selection and presentation. Excellent design is selected by competent expert juries in the areas of product design, communication design and design concepts. (From the Red Dot Website) Six industrial and collaborative robot designs were honored this year with a 2022 Red Dot Design Award. From this years list of winners, it would appear that only a handful of robotics companies submit their designs for consideration in any given year. The winning robotic designs in 2022 include: ABB’s IRB 390 FlexPacker® Industrial Delta Robot KUKA LBR iisy 11 Collaborative Robot MOTOMAN SG400 SCARA Robot MOTOMAN GP4 6 axis Robot RIZON 10 by Flexiv Robotics WYZO Delta Collabo...

JAKA Robotics’ collaborative robot arms are used in the automotive, semiconductor and electronics industries, among others. | Source: JAKA Robotics JAKA Robotics has raised $150 million in Series D funding. This follows a $50 million Series C funding round earlier in 2021. JAKA plans to use the Series D funding to further support globalization of the company and the research and development of its collaborative robot (cobot) arm. Since its founding in 2014, JAKA has developed nine core technologies and six core algorithms that are the foundation for its line of cobots. The company launched its JAKA Pro Series earlier this year. The JAKA Pro Series aims to provide robotics for companies operating in harsh environments. The entire line of cobots is IP68 rated and can operate for nearly six years without interruption, the company claims. JAKA’s other cobot lines include the JAKA Zu, which combines torque-feedback collision detection and a 6-axis design, the JAKA Zu S, which offers c...

  Artificial intelligence , deep learning to assist diagnosing birth defects Canadian researchers have in a breakthrough experimented with the use of Artificial Intelligence-based deep learning as a tool for the early identification of birth defects. A team from the University of Ottawa in a new proof-of-concept pioneered the use of a unique deep learning model as an assistive tool for the rapid and accurate reading of ultrasound images. The goal of the study, published in the scientific journal Plos One, was to demonstrate the potential for deep-learning architecture to support early and reliable identification of cystic hygroma from first trimester ultrasound scans. Cystic hygroma is an embryonic condition that causes the lymphatic vascular system to develop abnormally. It's a rare and potentially life-threatening disorder that leads to fluid swelling around the head and neck. It is documented in approximately 1 in 800 pregnancies and 1 in 8,000 live births. Ultrasound is crit...

  As every athletic or fashion-conscious person knows, our body image is not always accurate or realistic, but it's an important piece of information that determines how we function in the world. When you get dressed or play ball, your brain is constantly planning ahead so that you can move your body without bumping, tripping, or falling over. We humans acquire our body-model as infants, and robots are following suit. A Columbia Engineering team announced today they have created a robot that -- for the first time -- is able to learn a model of its entire body from scratch, without any human assistance. In a new study published by  Science Robotics ,, the researchers demonstrate how their robot created a kinematic model of itself, and then used its self-model to plan motion, reach goals, and avoid obstacles in a variety of situations. It even automatically recognized and then compensated for damage to its body. Robot watches itself like an an infant exploring itself in a hall...
