Robotics Engineering Week, produced by The Robot Report and WTWH Media, kicks off on Tuesday, November 8, 2022. Those desirous about attending can nonetheless register for the all periods for the occasion.
Despite the monumental potential of latest robotics-enabling expertise and substantial social and enterprise drivers, the tempo of growth for brand new robotics applied sciences, services has been painfully gradual.
The complexity of growing robotics methods, along with the endless crush of technological innovation, has hampered innovation and slowed robotics product releases. This, in flip, has positioned corporations – each start-ups and mature companies – in danger.
The webinar is a digital occasion collection that includes keynotes and panels designed to ship the data and steering engineers, technical managers, enterprise growth professionals, researchers and extra have to construct the subsequent era of economic robotics methods extra rapidly and simply.
The full agenda for RoboBusiness is under, and the complete convention is right here.
Tuesday, Nov. 8
Session: Intelligent Sensing for Object Recognition, Manipulation and Control
Brual Shah, Co-Founder and CTO, GrayMatter Robotics, and Jeff Mahler, Co-founder and CTO, Ambi Robotics
11:00 AM ET
Grasping and manipulation, the flexibility to straight and bodily work together with and modify objects within the surroundings, is probably the best differentiator between robotic methods and all different lessons of automated methods. Many sorts of robots make use of superior sensing options – from tactile, to imaginative and prescient, proprioceptive, and extra – to determine, choose up and function on all method of objects, with targets starting from offering human-like dexterity and autonomous manipulation, to excessive precision repeatability, and on to superhuman energy and endurance. During this Robotics Engineering session, attendees will be taught of the most recent sensing applied sciences and strategies commercially obtainable to help object recognition, greedy, manipulation and management, in addition to options rising from the lab that may permit for complete new lessons of robotics functions.
Session: Using Simulation for the Design and Development of Robotics Systems
Erin Rapacki-Bishop, Senior PMM Robotics & Isaac Sim, NVIDIA
2:00 PM ET
The growth of robots and robotic expertise requires the mastery of a number of disciplines – primarily software program growth, mechanical and electrical engineering. Robotics growth is made much more troublesome as it’s restricted by embedded and real-time constraints. Commercial viability provides further burdens for the robotics developer. Solution suppliers have responded to those difficulties by offering an entire host of robotics design, growth instruments, simulation and testing instruments, in addition to ready-made robotic ‘platforms’, that dramatically simplifies the job of designing, growing, testing and manufacturing robots and robotic merchandise. This Robotics Engineering Week session will present an outline of present robotics growth options, in addition to spotlight growth tendencies.
Wednesday, Nov. 9
Session: Grounding Your Cloud-based Robotics Initiatives for Success
Andrei Kholodni, Principal Technologist, Wind River, and Brian Gerkey, CEO/Cofounder, Open Robotics
11:00 AM ET
Machine studying (and deep studying) applied sciences and strategies have discovered nice success in enabling superior robotics capabilities comparable to decision-making, object identification, imaginative and prescient processing, autonomous navigation, motor management, sensor integration and different features, in addition to speech, facial and emotion recognition. Moreover, robotics designers and engineers may benefit from various kinds of distributed execution architectures – edge, fog and cloud – to optimize their methods and their meant functions. While the massive quantity and number of machine studying options for robotics growth and deployment is useful, they will additionally end in confusion and indecision, notably given the speedy fee of technological innovation and product introduction. In this Robotics Engineering Week session, designed to offer some much-needed readability, attendees will learn the way the most recent AI and machine studying applied sciences and strategies may be employed in ground-based, aerial and maritime methods to make robots extra clever and useful.
Session: Advanced Motion Control Solutions for Robotics Systems
Brian Coyne, VP of Engineering, Harmonic Drive LLC
2:00 PM ET
‘Motion’ within the bodily world, whether or not within the type of altering place, place or posture, is probably the best differentiator between robotic methods and all different lessons of engineered merchandise. It is movement is that makes robotics methods ‘robotic’, and it’s advances in movement management applied sciences which have spurred robotics innovation, with the outcome that there was a dramatic improve in the usage of robotics applied sciences and merchandise across the globe. In this Robotics Engineering Week session, attendees will learn the way help for robotic movement management has improved with the introduction of latest merchandise and applied sciences, and the way they permit for brand new capabilities, new functions, and entry into new markets. Case research and product examples might be used to focus on salient factors.
Thursday, Nov. 10
Session: Intelligent Vision and Sensing Solutions for Autonomous Mapping and Navigation
Paul Baim, VP Product Management & Systems Engineering, DreamVu Inc
11:00 AM ET
Commercial robotic methods sometimes require a number of sorts of sensors to seize details about the bodily world, which following fusion and additional processing permits them localize themselves, navigate whereas avoiding obstacles, and supply further data. The quantity, kind, and high quality of the onboard sensors range relying on the worth and goal utility for the platform. Common sensor varieties embody 2D / 3D imaging sensors (cameras), 1D and 2D laser rangefinders, 2D and 3D sonar sensors, 3D High Definition LiDAR, accelerometers, GPS and extra. Thankfully, resolution suppliers proceed to launch low-cost, more and more highly effective merchandise, and new sensing applied sciences are all the time rising. In this Robotics Engineering Week session, attendees will be taught of the most recent advances in sensing merchandise and applied sciences, together with use circumstances highlighting necessary tendencies and examples of the most recent sensing tendencies and strategies.
Session: Motion Control for Healthcare Robotics Applications: Functional Requirements, Critical Capabilities
Prabh Gowrisankaran, VP of Engineering & Strategy, Performance Motion Devices
2:00 PM
Healthcare robotics share many areas of technical commonality with electrically powered medical units, in addition to the frequent objective of enhancing affected person care. A key distinction, nevertheless, is that for all robotics methods, movement and motion within the bodily world is anticipated. For robots, movement (and movement management) is presumed and definitional. As such, movement management applied sciences and strategies are central issues for any robotics engineering initiative. Compared to industrial and shopper movement management applied sciences, movement management options for healthcare functions sometimes have completely different, and infrequently very stringent, useful necessities in areas comparable to security, reliability, tolerances, cleanability, sterilization and extra. In this Robotics Engineering Week session, attendees will be taught in regards to the main useful necessities and significant capabilities of movement management options for healthcare robotics functions.
