Agility Robotics’ Digit humanoid was in trials at GXO. Source: Agility Robotics As an early investor in Agility Robotics, now one of the world’s leading manufacturers of humanoid robots, I’ve watched as humanoids have evolved from a fascinating concept to reality over the past five years.
Due to staffing shortages and major supply chain issues, manufacturers are willing to emphasize automation more to meet surging demand. Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and automated guided vehicles (AGVs) used machine vision and sensing technologies to move around freely and a key part around automation when it comes to logistics.
The Internet is littered with articles about Industry 4.0. Examples are, mobile robots, AGV(automated guided vehicles), and manufacturing infrastructure. Such articles often leave out critical details, such as what is actually needed from the network. 2) Manufacturing logistics. 2) Manufacturing logistics.
