BOSTON, July 19, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Leaders of the Massachusetts innovation community gathered last night at Foley Hoag in Boston for a reception where the state’s leading technology industry association announced finalists for the 2018 Mass Tech Leadership Awards. The 15 award categories highlight the vitality, innovation and importance […]
Read MoreChanging the Face of Robotic Automation
Realtime Robotics’ motion planning technology enables robots to make intelligent decisions, and it’s transforming how robots work together. Robots are now able to work together safely and productively. So what does this look like in a manufacturing setting such as chassis welding?
Read MoreDeciphering Deconfliction with RapidPlan MPA
Our first blog in this series explained why deconfliction is a critical challenge constraining the deployment of multi-robot work-cells. For robots to achieve their full potential, they must be able to work together safely and efficiently while avoiding collisions with each other. Without solving deconfliction, robots will continue to have slow deployment […]
Read MorePickNik Partners with Realtime Robotics
We are thrilled to welcome PickNik Robotics as our latest integration partner! The company recently incorporated RapidPlan into the MoveIt! open source motion planning framework. This allows users to seamlessly integrate our real-time motion planning technology into their existing robotic development process. This will make it easier to deploy our solution […]
Read MoreDeciphering Deconfliction So Robots Can Work in Harmony
Many automation tasks are amenable to being performed by multiple robots working together within the same work-cell. The robots can perform similar jobs—for example, painting different portions of an object—or they can perform different jobs, like wrapping and packaging. In the case of heterogenous jobs, you might even want to […]
Read MoreSolving the Autonomous Vehicles Motion Planning Conundrum
Our last blog explained the importance of motion planning for the adoption of AV. In this post, we’ll discuss how Realtime Robotics is enabling normal autonomous driving in urban environments. Realtime Robotics has developed its own, special-purpose computer processor for AV motion planning to address the critical need for super-fast motion […]
Read MoreAutonomous Driving and the Need For Motion Planning
Our last blog outlined why autonomous vehicles are not a passing fad and are the future of transportation. However to realize their full potential motion planning is an essential component that will address a myriad of safety challenges. Before we dive into motion planning let’s look at autonomous driving in more […]
Read MoreSolving the Autonomous Vehicle Safety Challenges
The future of driving is automated. The certainty of this future—despite well-publicized delays and technical challenges—derives from the numerous and substantial benefits of autonomous vehicles (AVs). The potential safety benefits are extraordinary. At least 31% of road deaths happen in DUI crashes, and an additional 10% occur when the driver is either […]
