Editor’s Note: The 2024 RBR50 Robotics Innovation Awards were announced on April 9. The RBR50 has been around for the past 12 years, and the inaugural RBR50 Gala was held during the Robotics Summit & Expo in Boston. The Robot Report will be highlighting each RBR50 winner throughout the year.

Olive Robotics unveiled a game-changing innovation for mobile robotics with EdgeROS, an approach that integrates the power of Robot Operating System 2 (ROS 2) and Data Distribution Service (DDS) directly into System on Modules (SoMs). This integration marks a significant leap forward in robotics integration, promising enhanced sensor and motor control capabilities and paving the way for sophisticated and adaptable systems.

rbr50 banner logo.The cornerstone of EdgeROS lies in its integration of ROS 2’s computational and communication capabilities into hardware modules. Unlike ROS 1, ROS 2 excels in real-time processing, catering to the deterministic execution times crucial in robotic applications such as motion control and autonomous navigation. This is made possible through real-time operating system (RTOS) compatibility, realtime-safe memory management, and deterministic execution of middleware layers.

The amalgamation of ROS 2 and DDS within SoMs promises to improve autonomous mobile robots (AMR) development. This advancement facilitates more sophisticated navigation algorithms, improved obstacle detection and avoidance, and enhanced operational efficiency, ultimately leading to enhanced levels of autonomy.

Olive Robotics’ commitment to innovation extends beyond EdgeROS. With advanced embedded AI sensors, the company promises to simplify sensor intelligence, enabling robots and automated systems to perceive, learn, and react more efficiently. Olive said its technology offers a 100x improvement in accuracy and speed for the development of new mobile robots.

The development of ROS on Module by Olive Robotics represents a significant advancement by providing improved functionalities in real-time processing, dependable communication, and streamlined system integration.

The development of techniques to optimize bandwidth, maintain interoperability, and manage latency is crucial for expanding the capabilities of robotic systems, especially in the domains of automated guided vehicles (AGVs), AMRs, and service robots.

Iván Hernández Dalas: How Health Care Organizations Can Thwart Cyberattacks

Image
Ransomware and other types of cyberattacks are striking health care systems at an increasing rate. More than one in three health care organizations around the world reported ransomware attacks last year, according to a survey of IT professionals by security company Sophos . About 40 percent of the nearly 330 respondents from the health care sector that weren't attacked last year said they expect to be hit in the future. In the United States, the FBI , the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency , and the Department of Health and Human Services were so concerned with the increase in cyberattacks on hospitals and other health care providers that in October they issued a joint advisory warning of the "increased and imminent cybercrime threat." But the health care field isn't helpless against cyber threats. The IEEE Standards Association Healthcare and Life Sciences Practice —which is focused on clinical health, the biopharmaceutical value chain, and welln

Iván Hernández Dalas: U.S. Passes Landmark Law to Fund Semiconductor Manufacturing

Image
Legislation aimed at increasing semiconductor manufacturing in the United States has finally passed both houses of Congress, following a multiyear journey that saw many mutations and delays. The CHIPS and Science Act , provides about $52 billion over 5 years to grow semiconductor manufacturing and authorizes a 25 percent tax credit for new or expanded facilities that make semiconductors or chipmaking equipment. It’s part of a $280 billion package aimed at improving the United States’ ability to compete in future technologies. And it comes amidst efforts by other nations and regions to boost chip manufacturing, an industry increasingly seen as a key to economic and military security. “This is going to make a huge difference in how the U.S. does innovation,” says Russell T. Harrison , acting managing director of IEEE-USA, who has been involved in the legislation since its beginnings more than two years ago. The bill’s $52 billion includes $39 billion in grants for new manufacturing,

Iván Hernández Dalas: Study: Almost 70% Think Some Companies Will Go Too Far With AI

Image
A new report today highlights anxiety that U.S. consumers have over the possibility of artificial intelligence going too far. Despite advances in robotics and self-driving cars, a majority of Americans reported mixed feelings about the benefits of AI, according to a study by Elicit. In its 14-page report titled “ Artificial Intelligence and the Very Real, Real-World Anxiety it Causes, ” the research consultancy found that news reports over intelligent personal assistants that have “gone rogue,” as well as Facebook’s misuse of personal data, have created distrust among consumers. Approximately seven out of 10 (73%) think that some companies will go too far with AI, and another six out of 10 “are concerned with how companies will use AI and the information they have to engage with them.”   This year, RoboBusiness includes four conferences to make it easier for you to find the information you need most. Whether you are involved in running a robotics business, designing products, o
