“You really need to develop a whole product solution—hardware, software, UI, interfaces, and process redesign—with a consideration for what problem you are really trying to solve.” —Aldo Zini
Getting large teams of robots to collaborate is the work of Dr Regis Vincent, who envisions applications that include mapping nuclear contamination.
What obstacles remain for robots to work alongside humans in industrial settings, and how far have we come in eliminating those challenges? Dr. Roland Menassa answers these and other questions in his presentation at the RoboBusiness summit November 2-3 in Boston.
John Reid, director of Product Technology and Innovation at Moline Technology Innovation Center, a part of John Deere’s Global Technology Innovation Network, discusses how his company’s technologies will help feed the world’s billions.

As a result of its enhanced status, Ardence said it has access to a broader range of planning, development and marketing resources within Intel’s worldwide partner community.
Ardence is already a General Member of the Intel® Communications Alliance, and is collaborating with Intel to add Intel®-specific enhancements to its product line. This includes integration with the Intel® Virtualization Technology and Intel® Active Management Technology (Intel® AMT).
“We’re pleased that Intel recognizes the value Ardence technology adds in its solutions and it’s very encouraging that they’ve taken steps to further strengthen our partnership,” said Stephen Woodard, Ardence Senior Vice President of Global Operations. “Our technology alignment with Pentium-class processors and Microsoft Windows XP platforms yields products that improve the performance, reliability, and management of embedded systems. This enhanced status in the Partner Program not only provides us with greater access to departments within Intel that drive new product development and innovation, but also provides resources that help us increase our market presence.”
With greater access to Intel’s technical resources, Ardence is bolstering its Intel-supported software solutions. Specifically, the synergy of Intel’s multi-core processors and Ardence’s control solutions for high-performance embedded systems provides a versatile platform for continued collaborative product development. Since it began supporting dedicated and shared multi-processor configurations in 2002, Ardence has been a leader in multi-core technologies with its RTX product.
RTX, which enhances the control of Windows and enables real-time computing, is deployed widely in industrial automation, military and aerospace, simulation, robotics, test and measurement and medical devices. As a COTS-based software solution, RTX can enable the elimination of costly and aging proprietary hardware-based systems.
