The robotics industry is growing – and fast. Predicted to hit $34 billion in the US this year, the robotics market is changing the way companies interact, factories assemble, and people work. The work behind these robots is no easy feat, it takes years, sometimes even decades to build the machines we rely on. So, why is robotic manipulation important and how can it provide a cutting-edge solution within the industry?

In the latest episode of CalTV, a Calvary Robotics podcast, host Mike Marseglia invites guest Jared Glover, CEO of CapSen Robotics to discuss CapSen’s history and its cutting-edge solution to bin-picking within the industry.

Marseglia and Glover go over:

1) How CapSen was founded and the market research that went into growing their 3D vision and robotic manipulation capabilities

2) What 3D bin-picking is, and why it is so important within the industry

3) The challenges to the industry and what makes this technology cutting-edge

“What’s really challenging in a lot of cases is, you know, how do you get the robot to do everything that a person would be doing…how do you get the robot to do more complicated things with the objects after they get picked out of the bin?,” said Glover. This is where cutting-edge robotic manipulation comes into play.

Glover is the CEO and Co-founder of CapSen Robotics, an advanced 3D vision and motion planning software for industrial robot automation in Pittsburgh, PA. Glover is a graduate of Carnegie Mellon University, where he earned his B.S. in Computer Science, before heading to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to complete his PhD in Computer Science.

ORAFOL halved lens inspection time using Zebra AI machine vision

ORAFOL halved lens inspection time using Zebra AI machine vision

ORAFOL Fresnel Optics automated inspection of its Fresnel lenses with Zebra AI machine vision, and Zebra reports that inspection time fell by half. A standard camera could be used, as Zebra's Aurora software is compatible with any camera. A bespoke optical turret had to be developed for the complex microstructures.

  • 01Zebra says Aurora works with any camera and that a standard camera was sufficient; the bespoke work was a custom optical turret for the microstructures.
  • 02Writing tolerances into the inspection system turns accept-or-reject into a fixed rule. That rule drives the consistency gain, which matters as much as the speed.
  • 03The sharper scoping question for small, finely structured parts is who designs the fixture and lighting, and how that is priced separately from software and camera hardware.

Qbic lists, adds cloud plan for ARM office devices

Qbic lists, adds cloud plan for ARM office devices

Taiwanese industrial PC maker Qbic Technology began trading and closed its first session up more than 10%. Its products range from meeting-room booking panels to smart access control and digital signage. The company is building a Cloud Remote Device Management platform so it sells managed devices along with the hardware. That puts a fleet console on the buyer's checklist.

  • 01One booking panel outside a conference room is a gadget; every panel, door reader and sign across a building is a fleet, and Qbic wants to be the one watching it.

62% of summit respondents pick training and digital work instructions

62% of summit respondents pick training and digital work instructions

At the Connected Worker Manufacturing Summit, 62% of polled attendees ranked training, skills or digital work instructions first. Lincoln International reads the market as moving toward AI-driven execution. That puts more weight on competency data and measurable outcomes like downtime and labor productivity.

  • 01Once skills data decides who gets scheduled on a line or cleared to run a machine, a training-completion checkbox stops being good enough.
  • 0256% of summit respondents point to reduced downtime or better labor productivity as the biggest help today, so connected-worker business cases will likely need to be framed in those plant metrics rather than feature lists.
  • 03Useful vendor questions: what legacy workflow does it replace, and how will skills data connect to ERP, EAM, MES and HCM systems?
