Reframe Systems, the Massachusetts-based physical AI company innovating homebuilding with robotic microfactories, has partnered with Cabot, Cabot & Forbes (CC&F), a specialist in transit-oriented development for Greater Boston’s new economy workers, to deploy a Reframe unit as the on-site marketing and sales office for The Bolt, a 180,000 SF innovation and manufacturing center currently under […]
Scientists in Japan say they have developed a new approach – dubbed ‘HEAPGrasp’ – that improves robots’ grasping success rate for transparent and shiny objects, beyond reducing handling time, using only RGB camera The fields of manufacturing, logistics, and even restaurants are increasingly moving toward automation, with robots being employed for a wide range of […]
The narrative in modern manufacturing often centers on the cutting edge: AI-driven robotics, hyper-connected IIoT ecosystems, and autonomous logistics. While this rapid innovation drives the industry forward, it creates a stark contrast with the reality on the factory floor. In many facilities, the backbone of production remains robust, reliable hardware that has been running effectively […]
As robotics adoption accelerates across manufacturing, logistics, and infrastructure, energy consumption is emerging as a critical constraint. What was once a secondary engineering consideration is becoming a primary design challenge – shaping how robots are built, deployed, and evaluated. At the same time, sustainability pressures are rising. ESG – environmental, social, and governance – has […]
Maximo, the solar robotics company incubated by the AES Corporation, has announced the successful installation of 100 megawatts (MW) of utility-scale solar capacity at AES’ Bellefield complex, located on former agricultural land near California City in Kern County. Demand for electricity continues to grow rapidly, driven by data center expansion, electrification and industrial manufacturing. Solar […]
