This conversation with Bill Good, Vice President of Manufacturing and Supply Chain at GE Appliances, explores what it takes to scale advanced manufacturing in the United States — and why speed, talent and technology must evolve together.
MUNICH, Germany — Misplaced glasses on the kitchen counter or a phone left somewhere in the living room could soon be found by a robot. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich have developed a system that locates lost objects by combining 3D vision with language-based artificial intelligence.
PALO ALTO, Calif. — Rhoda AI has introduced FutureVision, a robotic intelligence platform designed to help robots operate reliably in real-world production environments where materials, layouts and workflows constantly change. The system uses video-predictive control to continuously observe and predict physical interactions, enabling robots to adapt in real time rather than follow fixed, pre-programmed trajectories.
ANN ARBOR, Mich. – Coherix, one of the leading suppliers of AI-based quality-control systems for the automotive and electronics industries, has moved to a new, 25,000-square-foot headquarters, manufacturing and product development facility.
Compared with Industry 4.0, where humans mainly act as supervisors, Industry 5.0 elevates human expertise and contextual understanding. The objective is to allow people to focus on high-value cognitive tasks while being supported by intelligent machines that handle routine, hazardous or precision-intensive work.
Although Industry 5.0 is still a relatively new term, engineers are already talking about another buzz word called Physical AI. The term refers to augmenting physical systems with intelligence that scales.
The Augmentir connected worker platform is designed to help manufacturing and service teams improve operations, close skills gaps, capture tribal knowledge, and drive continuous improvement efforts.
LAS VEGAS—Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. said it has formed a new robotics subsidiary and opened sales and paid pre-orders for three embodied artificial intelligence robots, with first deliveries planned for the end of the month.
