In the past few years, we have covered ABB robot taking on many automation tasks. This video shows ABI Ltd using ABB’s IRB 360 FlexPicker for food handling. This robot has 8kg payload capacity and high speed flexibility.
This is the AIPER Seagull Plus: a robotic pool vacuum that can clean above/in-ground flat pools up to 60ft. It has dual-drive motors to clean your pool efficiently, including pools with inclines up to 15 degrees.
Soft robots have many applications but they are not sustainable. They get damaged over time and have a limited lifetime. They are mainly made with fossil-based chemicals and materials that don’t have a great recyclability rate. As this video from Aleix Costa and his team shows, it is possible to make self-healing, recyclable caster oil based elastomers for more sustainable soft robots.
This is the PLUTO: a highly dexterous pipe building robot from GE Research that can be deployed inside natural gas pipelines to inspect and form a new pipe inside existing pipes. This system can reduce pipeline rehabilitation costs while reducing carbon emissions.
