Kollmorgen to Present on Humanoid Motion Challenges at RoboBusiness 2023
Kollmorgen will address the challenges of transitioning humanoid robot prototypes to scalable products at RoboBusiness 2023. Yoshi Umeno, the global director of business development for robotics at Kollmorgen, will present a session titled 'A Joint-by-Joint Guide to Humanoid Motion' on October 20, focusing on the unique demands of each body zone in humanoid robotics. This presentation is significant as it highlights the bottleneck in humanoid robotics development, where the speed of software iteration contrasts sharply with the lengthy process of motion hardware production. Umeno aims to provide a framework for evaluating motion partners and co-engineering support, which could streamline the path from prototype to volume production. Attendees of RoboBusiness 2023 can expect to gain insights into the latest trends and research in robotics and AI, with opportunities for networking and collaboration.

Kollmorgen and IFM Collaborate on Advanced Camera Sensor Solutions for Intralogistics
Kollmorgen and IFM have developed a joint solution that integrates robust industrial camera sensors with an automation platform for automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) in intralogistics. This technology enables flexible pallet placement, where cameras monitor the environment, allowing vehicles to operate intelligently and maintain material flow. This collaboration is significant as it enhances the efficiency and adaptability of intralogistics operations. By combining advanced camera technology with automation systems, the solution addresses the growing need for intelligent material handling in warehouses and distribution centers, ensuring seamless operations. Looking ahead, the industry will likely see increased adoption of such integrated systems that leverage camera sensors for improved situational awareness in logistics.

How Kollmorgen Motion System Powers a Cable Robot to Triple Throughput
A new robotic system, the ROCAP, has been introduced to enhance operational efficiency in large-scale work environments. This innovative technology is capable of covering an area of up to 900 square meters and can lift payloads weighing as much as 250 kilograms. Designed to accommodate various end effectors, the ROCAP is anchored to the existing structure of the facility, which allows it to operate without the need for cumbersome gantries and rails. This development aims to streamline workflows and improve productivity in industries that require handling of heavy materials. The implementation of the ROCAP is expected to significantly reduce space constraints and enhance flexibility in work processes.
