Universal Robots To Exhibit Robotics Platform for AI Solutions at Automate 2024

At North America’s largest automation show, Universal Robots will redefine the frontiers of physical AI, showcasing how the ‘ChatGPT moment for robots’ has arrived in a wide range of applications. Automate attendees will also experience how the company’s newest cobot models, the UR20 and UR30, automate tasks with increased payload, reach, and torque.

At UR’s Automate booth #1541, the company will be demonstrating an AI-powered autonomous inspection solution showcasing robotic path planning 50-80x faster than today’s solutions, made possible through NVIDIA’s accelerated path planning tools. Teradyne Robotics has collaborated closely with NVIDIA incorporating the AI capabilities into UR’s soon-to-be-released PolyScope X operating software as a foundation for developments.

Many AI-driven partner solutions will be on display at Automate. Two of those address new approaches to bin picking, a task that in more than 90 percent of applications is still performed manually.

One of them is Photoneo, a UR Marketplace partner, unveiling at booth #619 a unique new, AI-enabled multi-view localization solution, that leads to exceptional results of 3D bin picking of difficult objects. The Bin Picking Studio features the newest MotionCam-3D, incorporating a UR cobot and two statically independent PhoXi-3D Scanners to capture the scene from multiple viewpoints, enabling true automation in motion – such as picking in dynamic applications.

The other partner is Siemens that will debut SIMATIC Robot Pick AI at booth #1841, a pre-trained, deep learning-based vision software for piece picking robot applications that is used for autonomous bin picking primarily in warehousing and e-commerce applications. The system does not need to be trained on the parts being picked – any unknown part can be picked from a bin, which means the number of SKUs being picked are endless.

To ensure optimal uptime for its cobots, UR is also proud to unveil UR Care at Automate, a new offering setting a higher standard for onsite service by integrating high-value solutions tailored to customers. The new multi-year service commitment ensures prompt break/fix onsite repairs, with 24/7 remote availability, delivering unparalleled support.
