This image was created using Microsoft Bing Image Creator. It’s time to reflect upon the trends from the past 12 months while looking ahead at what 2024 has in store for the world of robotics. 2023 was an exciting year for innovation. The emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, including generative AI, captured global attention and dominated headlines.
I have an interesting startup designed to promote talented people and mentor them. “Traditional innovation ecosystems have often been limited by a lack of diversity, resulting in homogeneous ideas and solutions, as well as unexpected bias. In today’s globalized world, innovation thrives on diverse perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds.” Parallax Futures is a non-profit fellowship program based in California that aims to infuse the world with Conceptual Technologists to see
We depend on circuit breakers all the time, even when you have a day off or work from home. These overcurrent protection devices keep machines running safely, reducing the risk of fires and arcing.
Akribis Systems is pleased to introduce its MSP-A Series magnetic springs. This spring family is an attractive choice for industrial z-axis direct drive module applications that call for a high-speed means of gravity compensation, self-locking capabilities to prevent unwanted component movement during power-off states, or constant force within a specific travel range.
In 2025, the Supply Chain continues its evolution toward “Logistics 4.0,” inspired by Industry 4.0. Two major characteristics define this transformation: automation, driven by robotic solutions, and prediction, paving the way for an era of planning and simulation powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI).
2023 has been full of exciting innovations within the robotics industry. We’ve seen the rise of new technologies, and robotics developers have pushed the boundaries of what robots can do. At the same time, there has been a dip in robotics funding across the board, and some sectors have struggled to gain public trust. As 2023 comes to an end, let’s look back at some of the biggest trends in the robotics industry this year.
Venture capital money continues to be available for some manufacturing software—especially when it relates to data management and analysis.
