“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.

More Design and Development stories
STMicroelectronics has introduced a new series of single- and multi-axis gyroscopes designed for micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS).
The gyroscopes are designed to provide angular-motion detection for electronic units handled by humans, including gaming, remote-pointing, car navigation, camera and other applications.
The gyroscopes are designed to provide angular-motion detection for electronic units handled by humans, including gaming, remote-pointing, car navigation, camera and other applications.
Both the single-axis (yaw only) and two-axis (pitch-and-roll, pitch-and-yaw) gyroscopes support a range of between 30 and 6,000 degrees per second and a wide-enough temperature range that they can deliver full accuracy at most temperatures without an additional temperature compensation unit.
Samples are available now, and mass production is expected to begin in the third quarter of this year.
Unit pricing is $2.50 for quantities in the tens of thousands. More information is available at http://www.st.com/mems.
