The ASTM International F45 committee is developing a new standard and an apparatus to test mobile manipulator precision.

A3 reported declines in North American robot orders in the first nine months of 2024 but said there are reasons for optimism.

In this webinar, learn from industry experts how to navigate the automated warehouse journey, from evaluating robots to ROI.

Significant declines in the automotive and semiconductor industries led to the decline in robot sales, according to the Association for Advancing Automation.

In this episode, Dr. Aaron Ames takes us down memory lane with a history of bipedal robotics and then introduces us to 3Laws Robotics.

The automotive industry will keep driving North American robotics adoption despite the current economic slowdown, according to A3.

North American robot orders declined across 2023 in comparison to record-setting sales in 2021 and 2022, but A3 expects a midyear turnaround.

The new ANSI/A3 R15.08-2 was recently released and covers the risk assessment and safety standards for integrating and deploying mobile robots.

37% fewer robots were purchased in April through June of 2023 than during the same period of 2022, according to A3’s latest report.

In Q1 2023, North American companies ordered just 9,168 units, according to A3, down 21% from the same quarter in 2022. 

Both Shea and Burnstein were unanimously selected by the awards committee and the past chairs of the RIA, now A3, to win the award. 

North American companies ordered 44,196 robots in 2022, an 11% increase from 2021, according to the Association for Advancing Automation.

North American robot sales are on track to reach record highs for the second year in a row according to A3.

The industry set a new record for robot sales in Q2 of 2022 with 12,305 robots sold, according to the Association for Advancing Automation.

Robot sales increased 28% from Q1 of 2021, when North American companies purchased 9,098 units, to 11,595 units sold in 2022.

The Engelberger awards recognize leaders in robotics for excellence in technology development, application, education and leadership.

Nearly two-thirds of robots sold (6,302) in North America during Q3 were for non-automotive applications, according to A3.

The Robotic Industries Association reported today that North American orders of robot units for 2019 were up slightly compared with 2018, but overall revenues declined last year. The fourth quarter of 2019 posted the weakest numbers of the year, the association stated. For 2019, 29,988 robotic units were ordered, representing a 1.6% increase when compared…

Motion control is among the enabling technologies for commercial robotics to be discussed at the 2019 Robotics Summit & Expo. Attendees can learn from sessions and workshops, meet component vendors, and learn now new developments can help them.

Collaborative robots, mobile platforms, and the enabling hardware and software were all on display at Automate/ProMat, but what was new and noteworthy?

This week, the Robotic Industries Association named this year’s recipients of the Engelberger Robotics Awards. The prestigious awards recognize people who have contributed to the advancement of automation for the benefit of humanity. They will be presented at a special dinner at Automate 2019. Howie Choset will receive the award for education. As a professor,…

Even as the market for autonomous mobile robots grows, developers need to understand how they compare with other technologies and where demand is highest.
