Visual SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) is an AI-driven, 3D vision-based method that marks a departure from conventional navigation systems.
In addition to significantly boosting productivity in factories and warehouses by autonomously moving raw materials, parts, or finished goods between workstations or storage areas, Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) handle tedious, non-value-added tasks like cart pushing, allowing human employees to focus on higher-skill activities.
Here are four factors that I believe we as an industry need to closely study, honestly evaluate our contributions to, and commit to work towards—today.

This year Marlin Steel incorporated several autonomous machines that enable technicians to multi-task instead of being tied to a particular machine for the duration of the operation.
Small to medium manufacturers like Marlin Steel lead a shifting industrial landscape. While traditional large-scale production relied on economies of scale and centralization, modern companies focus on precision, customization, and sustainability.
This article discusses how integrating robotics with computer vision is transforming quality control. Far from a niche innovation, vision-enhanced robotics is becoming essential to resilient, high-performance factories.
BLM Group USA welcomed local robotics team Frog Force 503 from Novi High School for a hands-on, behind-the-scenes look at the cutting-edge tube and sheet laser technology that is driving the metal fabrication industry.
The University of Illinois Grainger College of Engineering’s Mechanical Engineering Lab (MEL) has significantly enhanced its 3D metrology capabilities with the recent installation of an MVi5 3D Metrology Center from EDM Intelligent Solutions (EDMIS).
Rebuilt and redesigned, FANUC announces the release of ROBOGUIDE Version 10, the latest and most advanced iteration of its offline robot programming and simulation software.
Dr. SK Gupta, co-founder of GrayMatter Robotics, emphasizes the role of AI-powered robotics in enhancing manufacturing quality and addressing labor challenges, while advocating for a human-centric approach.
