This latest software update underscores our commitment to continuous improvement and user safety across all sectors of application. The weight compensation our robotic #exosuits provide is now increased to 36 kg (80 lbs) per lifting movement in Ultra Mode, and assistance has been further refined for even smoother, more natural movements. This means not only improved #ergonomics for industrial workers such as those in #logistics, #warehousing, or #construction environments, but also enhanced support for #healthcare professionals, such as #nursing and care staff, who rely on our Apogee+ model for patient mobilization in their day-to-day work. This major #OTA update, which is installs easily via LTE or WiFi – just like a mobile phone update – is a testament to our ongoing innovation and customer support. Users like those at Albrecht Dürer Airport Nürnberg conducting #baggaehandling who were among the first to receive the update, are already experiencing the benefits, reporting noticeable relief, especially during their repetitive, short #lifting tasks. As #dhfIntralogistik magazine – a key voice and leading German publication in the field of material handling and #intralogistics – highlights, these improvements extend the functionality of our exoskeletons, offering greater flexibility and safety without the need for costly hardware upgrades. Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/dFqvuBna We continue to enhance our technology, ensuring the exoskeletons in use at our customer sites remain at the forefront of industrial and healthcare solutions thanks to ongoing software updates. #Exoskeleton #Robotics #WorkplaceSafety #HumanAugmentation

🌟 How does the future of #HumanRobotInteraction look like!? 🤖 Today we have some fantastic updates from our visit to our partner NEURA Robotics, where we presented the results of our Exploring project as part of the KI-Fortschrittszentrum 🧠✨ 🎯 The goal of the project? Exploring the feasibility of single event classification for personalised comfort zones using #Mobile #EEG technology to monitor #Brain activity 🧠📈 We tackled an intriguing problem: Can distinct actions of a #Robot be perceived regardless of the person’s #MentalLoad and their involvement in the robot’s actions? 🤔 To explore this, we set up a scenario where both the person and the #MAiRA robot arm worked on separate tasks, with the robot performing movements in close proximity to the user. 🦾👀 What did we discover? ▪ It is feasible to create #MachineLearning models based on event-related oscillatory (frequency-based) #Brain activity. 📶🧠 ▪ Signal analysis showed discernible differences for identifying which zone the #Robot is in, though initial classification results were not conclusive due to possible model overfitting. 📊❓ ▪ We achieved high-performance #Classification of the robot's movement direction (towards or away from the user). 🤖 ↕ ▪ Classification performance was also modulated by the #CognitiveWorkload, i.e., the difficulty of the user's task. 🧩💡 Looking ahead, this research paves the way for creating #Robots that can adapt their movements based on non-verbal cues, making #Interactions smoother and more intuitive. Imagine a future where robots seamlessly adjust to your comfort zone without a word being spoken! 🤖📡🧠 Stay tuned for our upcoming publication with all the exciting details!

#3dscanning ➕ #reverseengineering ➕ #additivemanufacturing can easily be integrated into a logical, seamless, and efficient workflow. In some cases a workflow might not even be possible without such 3D technologies or software. Martin Wiesner demonstrates a prime example of such a #scandesignprint workflow in detail. His workflow enables him to turn vintage Porsche parts into little pieces of art and, at the same time, have enough high-quality data to reverse engineering and re-produce the original parts for restoration purposes. In this case a heat exchanger for a classic Porsche is scanned with the EinScan Pro HD, scaled and #3dprinted in very fine resin. ⬇️ Full Video: https://hubs.ly/Q02yPj750 . . . #shining3d #einscan #3dscanner #porsche #911

Earlier this week, our own Harald (Harry) Kroeger spoke with Handelsblatt about our new collaboration with high-tech laser systems expert TRUMPF, which is great validation for SiMa.ai’s differentiated complete ML system-on-chip. “Laser specialist Trumpf is the first German company to enter into a strategic partnership with the Silicon Valley start-up,” writes Martin-W. Buchenau of Handelsblatt. “Together, the two companies are developing AI software that improves laser applications…the (SiMa.ai) chip enables 5,000 images per second to be processed and evaluated during camera monitoring of a laser application. Such real-time testing can replace separate and complex testing procedures in electric car production. This could ultimately reduce the price of electric cars for consumers.” Read the full feature in Handelsblatt here: https://lnkd.in/gW9auxRN #AI #ML #GenAI #EdgeAI

If you are a robotic expert, this case is just for you: how would you tackle these programming challenges? 💪🤖 We have a case for a customer producing agricultural products and other metalworks. The unpredictability of their welding tasks requires flexibility and innovation. They faced challenges with teach pendant and offline programming, taking several days to program parts, frequent touch-ups, and the need for complex fixtures. The case: ·      Setup: 2 #Fanuc robots, #Fronius welders, 2 positioners. ·      Robots: independent (separate controllers). ·      Positioners: both powered from/connected to only 1 of the two robots. ·      Part details: dimensions – 6.6 x 1.6 x 2.5 ft (2 x 0,5 x 0,75 m), number of welds to program – 133, total length of welds – 82 ft (25 m) ·      Programming of the Part on the picture with teach pendant would take several days. ·      Touch ups were often, as part fit was not the same each time. ·      Manual splitting of the welds between 2 robots, either by hand or using RoboGuide for reach, effectively splitting the part in half with each robot welding one half. ·      Fixture used for assembling the part, welding accessible seams, pre-tacking, then adjusting fixture elements (moving to another position) to weld remaining seams. ·      No coordinated motion was used; the positioner held parts at 90 degrees. ·      When one robot had a fault, like a wire stick, both robots would fault out. ·      No welding occurred during setup. Ideal solution goals: ·      No teach pendant use: Possible? ·      Minimize downtime: How? ·      Simple tooling/fixtures: Tack welded parts with simple clamps. Possible? ·      Synchronized motion: Create a program for synchronized welding with positioners. Please, share: ·      How would you address deviations from the ideal 3D model and minimize downtime? ·      What would be your approach to programming this part with synchronized robots and positioners? ·      How to eliminate the need for the teach pendant entirely? ·      How to reduce the amount of fixturing required? ·      Share your insights on enhancing efficiency in programming, part preparation, and the welding process itself. Join the conversation and share your expertise on optimizing robotic welding for this Part. Let’s innovate together! 🚀🔧 #Robotics #Welding #Manufacturing #Automation #Innovation #Programming #Robotic #WeldingChallende
