Seeking to eliminate the manual bottlenecks of industrial automation, Brain Corp. yesterday unveiled BrainOS Clean 2.0, a software update that introduced autonomous route generation to Tennant Co.’s robotic floor cleaners.

Powered by the new SelfPath AI, the update allows autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) to independently navigate and adapt to shifting commercial environments without human-led route training. The company claimed that this can accelerate fleet deployment speeds by more than 300% while significantly increasing cleaning coverage.

“BrainOS Clean 2.0 and the introduction of SelfPath AI deliver immediate commercial value: Deployments happen faster, route retraining is eliminated, and cleaning performance is improved in dynamic environments,” said David Pinn, CEO of Brain Corp. “It’s a strong example of how our autonomy platform enables our partners to deploy AI to solve real-world operational challenges at scale.”

BrainOS Clean 2.0 built to improve robot performance

BrainOS Clean 2.0 combines autonomous path planning with enhanced AI autonomy, visual intelligence, and workflow integration to dramatically improve robotic performance.

Brain Corp listed key capabilities:

  • SelfPath AI: This removes the need for manual route training by allowing robots to independently plan and refine their cleaning paths in complex environments.
  • Enhanced visual perception: Robots are empowered to build a contextual understanding of their environment, driving both performance and safety.
  • Dynamic replanning and recovery: BrainOS Clean 2.0 enables robots to instantly reroute around blocked aisles and unexpected obstacles without stopping.
  • Workflow-aware automation: The software supports integration into existing facility operations, including automatic charging, schedule-based operation, and an understanding of key points of interest (POI).

Together, these capabilities allow robots to cover more space, operate more consistently, and require less day-to-day staff involvement, said Brain Corp.

Brain says it delivers measurable operational impact

According to the company, BrainOS Clean 2.0 delivered tangible, measurable operational improvements across initial deployments, including:

  • Expanded coverage: The software improves performance by 22%, autonomously assessing the environment to adjust floor coverage. Brain Corp said it removes the constraints of discrete manually taught routes and creates low-redundancy cleaning paths that prioritize unique areas.
  • Improved autonomy: Brain cited a 55% improvement, as its update dynamically adapts paths and reduces the need for manual interventions.
  • Faster deployments: BrainOS Clean 2.0 eliminates the burden of manual route training or retraining, allowing fleets to be up and running more than three times faster and to maintain high performance over time.

“Our customers operate in dynamic environments that evolve constantly, and their cleaning technology needs to keep pace,” said Pat Schottler, senior vice president of Tennant Company Robotics. “Brain Corp’s latest AI advancements unlock a new level of intelligence for our machines. By enabling continuous adaptation to real-world conditions, BrainOS Clean 2.0 allows us to deliver a more responsive and efficient autonomous solution for our customers.”

Iván Hernández Dalas: 4 Show Floor Takeaways from CES 2019: Robots and Drones, Oh My!

Image
We’ve had some time to recuperate from the madness of CES, in which more than 150,000 attendees and thousands of exhibitors displayed their latest gadgets, gizmos and yes, even robots, on the CES show floor. Last week’s reporter’s notebook focused on the collection of startups around the Eureka Park area of CES, but several of the same trends were evident on the main South Hall 2 area of the Las Vegas Convention Center, where drones, robotics, AR/VR, and gaming took center stage. While most of our time was spent at CES hosting the Service Robots Arrive in Daily Life event, we did have some time during the week to visit the show floor and record observations. Here’s what we saw on the show floor, as well as some of our own individual meetings: 1. Underwater drones make a big splash On the main floor, there was no busier aerial drone booth than the DJI booth, but that is expected given the company’s dominance in the space. But once you got past that, you noticed a lot more drone co...

Iván Hernández Dalas: How automation and farm robots are transforming agriculture

Source: EOS Data Analytics Agriculture is becoming the most high-tech industry today. All the top-notch technologies are finding a place in the way we produce, harvest, and distribute our crops. And in all cases, farm automation and robots are not an affordable luxury, but a necessary minimum due to tackling the rising global food demand. Agricultural robots can mitigate labor shortages by automating tasks like planting, harvesting, and weeding, while also supporting sustainable practices. Combined with satellite imagery tools for data-driven farming, these innovations can make precision agriculture more efficient, resilient, and environmentally responsible. According to the United Nations report , by 2050, the world will need 70% more food to feed nearly 9.7 billion people. Considering this demand, farm robots and remote sensing are the cornerstone of the proper work of the supply chain. Smart machines arise for the farm Farm robots are no longer experimental concepts — they ...

Iván Hernández Dalas: Physical Intelligence open-sources Pi0 robotics foundation model

Image
Physical Intelligence, the San Francisco-based startup that has raised more than $400 million , has open-sourced its Pi0 robotic foundation model. Pi0 was introduced a few months ago and can be tuned to a range of tasks, including folding laundry, cleaning a table, scooping coffee beans, and more. Physical Intelligence has released the code and weights for Pi0 as part of its experimental openpi repository on GitHub. It also provides checkpoints for a few “simple tasks” on available platforms such as ALOHA and DROID, example code to run inference on real-world and simulated robot platforms, and the code for fine-tuning the base π0 model for your own tasks and platforms. The company said between 1-20 hours of data was sufficient to tune Pi0 to a variety of tasks in its own experiments. HuggingFace has also prepared a PyTorch port of openpi for those developers who prefer PyTorch over JAX. “We believe that general purpose models that can control any robot to perform any task will b...
