Traditionally, bipedal robots have been reserved for analysis labs. Agility Robotics is beginning to change that tune with Digit, a bipedal robotic first commercialized in early 2020. The corporate just lately closed a $150 million Sequence B spherical to assist scale its operation. Agility is focusing on real-world functions corresponding to shifting totes and packages and unloading trailers at warehouses.
Throughout RoboBusiness, which runs Oct. 19-20 in Santa Clara, Calif., Agility Robotics co-founders Jonathan Hurst and Damion Shelton will focus on how they’re creating Digit to carry out helpful duties. On Oct. 20 from 9-9:45 AM, Hurst and Shelton will ship a keynote known as “Constructing Human-Centric Robots for Actual-World Duties.” Agility Robotics may also demo Digit through the session, in addition to on the expo flooring, and tease the subsequent model of Digit that’s due out this fall.
You possibly can watch the video atop this web page to raised perceive the function Agility Robotics desires Digit to play sooner or later. Digit is 5 ft. 1 inch (5.55 m) tall and weighs 99 lbs (37 kg). It has a max velocity of three.4 mph (1.5 m/s) and might run for 3 hours doing mild work. Doing heavy work, the robotic will final 1.5 hours.
RoboBusiness will characteristic 70-plus exhibitors, 60-plus audio system, a MassRobotics Profession Honest and Startup Workshop, the Pitchfire Startup Competitors, networking receptions and far more. Full convention passes are $795, whereas expo-only passes are simply $75. Educational reductions can be found and educational full convention charges are $295. Register at this time.
Co-Positioned Occasions
RoboBusiness might be co-located with the Area Robotics Engineering Discussion board, a world convention and exposition designed to supply engineers, engineering administration, enterprise professionals and others with details about the way to efficiently develop and safely deploy the subsequent era of subject robotics programs for operation in wide-ranging, outside, dynamic environments. You possibly can try the present checklist of audio system, to which extra might be added, right here.
Additionally co-located with RoboBusiness is DeviceTalks West, the premier business occasion for medical know-how professionals, presently in its ninth yr. Each occasions entice engineering and enterprise professionals from a broad vary of healthcare and medical know-how backgrounds.
