As part of the Georgia Tech RIM Seminar Series, Neil Tardella (CEO, Energid) and James English (CTO, Energid) team up with Takeshi Enowaki (Mitsui) to discuss using software enable the creation of consumer-grade robotic systems that are simple, safe and affordable robotic systems.
Abstract: Traditional industrial robots are built for heavy payloads, high accuracy, and fast execution. Though these robots are well suited for many automation tasks, the next generation of robots will be smaller, lighter weight, easier to use, and more cost-effective. This talk will explore the ways Energid Technologies is advancing control and machine-vision software to compensate for limitations in lower-cost hardware. We will discuss a new lightweight kinematically redundant robot arm being developed through Energid subsidiary Robai that takes advantage of these software advances.
