WPI student integrates Robotic manipulator in Haas CNC machining center

Posted by Peter Farkas on May 15, 2012 at 8:43am 0 Comments

AGI American Grippers Inc in Trumbull, CT, a loyal supporter of Manufacturing, Robotic Engineering and Industrial Automation related discipline programs in Universities throughout the USA, donated pneumatic automation equipment to WPI student Corey Stevens on April of 2012 for use in a project required for the completion of his Robotics Engineering undergraduate degree at Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Massachusetts.  WPI is ranked among the best Engineering schools in the country, and “is the first university in the United States to offer a bachelor’s degree program in Robotics Engineering” according to Professor Michael A. Gennert, Director of Robotics at WPI. WPI is committed to providing hands-on, practical education to tomorrow’s robotics engineers” said Professor Gennert, and companies like AGI who partner with WPI to support the advancement of Robotic Engineering studies are invaluable in the process of training tomorrow’s Engineers and Scientists.

Robots Invent Their Own Language

Posted by Giancarlo Delgado on September 21, 2011 at 3:43pm 0 Comments



"Australian scientists have invented a new breed of robots called Lingodroids, programmed to make, use, and share language. The bots can coin words to describe places they have been, places they want to go, and plans for getting there..."

"...BMW is testing a 5 series sedan equipped with advanced autonomous technology..."

"The system uses a combination of radar, LIDAR, ultrasound, video and highly detailed GPS maps to sense the vehicle’s own position in relation to its surroundings, including oncoming traffic."

"The Libyan revolutionaries are more of a band of enthusiastic amateurs than experienced soldiers. But it turns out the rebels have the kind of weaponry usually possessed by advanced militaries: their very own drone."

Micro-machines are go: The U.S. military drones that are so small they even look like insects

Posted by Giancarlo Delgado on July 12, 2011 at 6:55pm 0 Comments





"They look like children's toys that are left discarded in wardrobes around the world. But these innocent-looking devices are actually some of the most sophisticated drones on the planet. The U.S. Air Force is developing the miniature spy craft with the goal of making them so small that they resemble birds and even insects..."…

Kinect Hackers Are Changing the Future of Robotics

Posted by Giancarlo Delgado on July 12, 2011 at 6:30pm 0 Comments





"For 25 years, the field of robotics has been bedeviled by a fundamental problem: If a robot is to move through the world, it needs to be able to create a map of its environment and understand its place within it. Roboticists have developed tools to accomplish this task, known as simultaneous localization and mapping, or SLAM. But the sensors required to build that map have traditionally been either expensive and bulky or cheap and inaccurate. Laser arrays cost a few thousand dollars and weigh several pounds, and the images they capture are only two-dimensional. Stereo cameras are less expensive, lighter, and can construct 3-D maps, but they require a massive amount of computing power. Until a reasonably priced, easier method could be designed, autonomous robots were trapped in the lab..."
