Vention unveils AI-powered bin picking system to ‘transform robots into reliable, autonomous operators’

by

Vention, the provider of a software and hardware automation platform, will debut its AI-driven bin-picking technology at Nvidia GTC, an artificial intelligence (AI) conference for developers, held recently in San Jose, California, in the US.

This new AI-driven process eliminates complex and expensive custom solutions that require programming – simplifying adoption of this in-demand automation solution. Vention is slated to commercialize its AI-driven bin-picking technology later this year.

During a live demonstration, an ABB GoFa CRB 15000 robot – equipped with vision, finger grippers, and connected to a Vention MachineMotion AI controller – will demonstrate its autonomous capabilities.

Google DeepMind releases two new AI models for robotics development

by

Google DeepMind has introduced two new artificial intelligence models – Gemini Robotics and Gemini Robotics-ER (short for “embodied reasoning”). Google says this marks a “major step forward” in the development of AI systems designed to control real-world robots.

Both models are built on the Gemini 2.0 platform and are aimed at enabling robots to perform a wide range of tasks with greater generality, interactivity, and dexterity. The initiative also includes a partnership with humanoid robot maker Apptronik to integrate these capabilities into the next generation of robotic assistants.

Attabotics offering ‘enterprise-level fulfillment sophistication to retailers of all sizes’

by

Attabotics, a provider of automation systems for warehouses, has incorporated “AI-orchestrated fulfillment” to its technology line-up.

FulfillAI is a newly developed and field-tested software algorithm that offers a novel approach to automated fulfillment for retailers with in-store and wholesale distribution challenges seeking faster fulfillment.

Automation providers typically tackle the challenge of faster fulfillment by raising machine rates. But since machines are often running near capacity, this doesn’t allow for much improvement. Rather, it puts constraints on the business by maxing out machine capacity and putting greater strain on associated labor, equipment, and resources.
