Robotics-as-a-Service: Changing the Landscape of Work

By Dick Weisinger

Robots are used to automate processes, but a barrier to wider deployment of robots has been the cost. For example, manufacturing robots produced by companies like FANUC and ABB have traditionally been very expensive. But that is changing. Production costs

Assembler Robots: Symbiotic Builders of the Future

By Dick Weisinger

MIT researchers have developed symbiotic robots, something that they’re calling assembler robots. These are robots that can build, maintain, and coexist with structures. The MIT work demonstrates that robots are capable of self-assembling complex structures. Potential applications of the technology

Robotics: Adoption Accelerates as Business Reduce Costs and Improve Efficiency

By Dick Weisinger

As businesses seek to save money and become more productive they’re increasingly turning to robots. AI and ML is being applied to robots, making robots smarter and more capable. Robots are being used in manufacturing, automotives, electronics, healthcare, and retail.

Robots as a Service (RaaS): Enabling Robotics for Businesses of all Sizes

By Dick Weisinger

Robots as a Service (RaaS) is a cloud-based service that leases robotic services, and combines robotics with AI and cloud computing. Robotic cloud services will provide the centralized control and connection of robots that may be working in different warehouses,

Cloud Robotics: On-Demand Remote Brain Power for Mobile Robots

By Dick Weisinger

Cloud robotics tethers remote cloud services with robotics. The cloud offers large-scale computation and storage capabilities that can be used for off-loading tasks from the robot. Cloud robotics is particularly useful for mobile robots because in that case there is
