The COVID-19 pandemic will accelerate new trends in Romanian business environment, including robotics. Whether we are talking about robotic process automation (RPA) or the automation of certain production processes, the post-COVID-19 reality in Romania will be based on new business models.

By Claudiu Vrinceanu

As an example, the pandemic has generated a lot of demand for UiPaths software robots to assist hospitals with processing medical tests. Health care is predicted to have a 36 percent automation potential. This means more than a third of health care tasksespecially managerial and back-office functionscould be automated, allowing providers to offer more direct, value-based patient care at lower costs and higher efficiency rates.

Also in the area of robotics, but this time the physical kind, we have the example of autonomous disinfection robots using ultraviolet light to disinfect large and crowded spaces. Normally, hospitals are very difficult to disinfect with traditional methods, so Romanian entrepreneurs have offered robots to hospitals in Bucharest. The technology used by the robot is effective in fighting bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens. The autonomous UVD disinfection robot, created by Bucharest Promo Robots, the first startup in Romania addressed to the humanoid service robots market, destroys up to 99.99 percent of resistant bacteria.

We are having discussions with the Romanian authorities. Together with the Support Association, we contacted representatives in the Internal Affairs Ministrys Emergency Situations Department and offered to make the robot available in some of the Bucharest hospitals that were treating coronavirus cases, said Ana-Maria Stancu, the CEO of Bucharest Promo Robots.

The COVID-19 crisis has also created the context for an increase in automation across Romania. The main arguments for automation start from the need for companies to protect their employees, so that they are less vulnerable, and are based on Europes intent to consolidate sustainably through local production facilities. What are the areas expected to see growth in the coming years? First of all, robotics, especially in industries still lagging behind in terms of the adoption of robots, like the food, pharmaceutical, lighting industries, said Costin Borc, Director for Central Europe at SNEF. For example, according to IMSAT Groupe SNEF, the development potential of projects with industrial robots is very high in Romania, which currently has 15 industrial robots per 10,000 workers, below the levels seen in Poland or Hungary. The global average is 74 industrial robots per 10,000 employees, according to the International Federation for Robotics. Therefore, in order to become more competitive at the European level, Romanian industrial producers need new investments and projects in automation and robotics.

Engineers at MIT are working toward giving robots the ability to follow high-level commands, such as going to another room to retrieve an item for an individual. In order for this to be possible, robots will need to have the ability to perceive their physical environments similar to the way we humans do.

Luca Carlone is an assistant professor of aeronautics and astronautics at MIT.

In order to make any decision in the world, you need to have a mental model of the environment around you, Carlone says. This is something so effortless for humans. But for robots its a painfully hard problem, where its about transforming pixel values that they see through a camera, into an understanding of the world.

To take on this challenge, the researchers modeled a representation of spatial perception for robots based on how humans perceive and navigate their physical environments.

The new model is called 3D Dynamic Scene Graphs, and it enables a robot to generate a 3D map of its physical surroundings, including objects and their semantic labels. The robot can also map out people, rooms, walls, and other structures in the environment.

The model then allows the robot to extract information from the 3D map, information that can be used to locate objects, rooms, and the movement of people.

This compressed representation of the environment is useful because it allows our robot to quickly make decisions and plan its path, Carlone says. This is not too far from what we do as humans. If you need to plan a path from your home to MIT, you dont plan every single position you need to take. You just think at the level of streets and landmarks, which helps you plan your route faster.

According to Carlone, robots that rely on this model would be able to do much more than just domestic tasks. They could also be used for high-level skills and work alongside people in factories, or help locate survivors of a disaster site.

The current methods for robotic vision and navigation mainly focus on 3D mapping that allows robots to reconstruct their environment in three dimensions in real-time, or semantic segmentation, which happens when robots classify features in the environment as semantic objects, like a car versus a bicycle. Semantic segmentation is often done on 2D images.

The newly developed model of spatial perception is the first of its kind to generate a 3D map of the environment in real-time and label objects, people, and structures within the 3D map at the same time.

In order to achieve this new model, the researchers relied on Kimera, an open-source library. Kimera was previously developed by the same team to construct a 3D geometric model of an environment, while at the same time encoding what the object likely is, such as a chair versus a desk.

Like the mythical creature that is a mix of different animals, we wanted Kimera to be a mix of mapping and semantic understanding in 3D, Carlone says.

Kimera used images from a robots camera and inertial measurements from onboard sensors to reconstruct the scene as a 3D mesh in real-time. In order to do this, Kimera utilized a neural network that has been trained on millions of real-world images. It could then predict the label of each pixel and use ray-casting to project them in 3D.

Through the use of this technique, the robots environment can be mapped out in a three-dimensional mesh where each face is color-coded, identifying it as a part of objects, structures, or people in the environment.

Because the 3D semantic mesh model requires a lot of computational power and is time-consuming, the researchers used Kimera to develop algorithms that resulted in 3D dynamic scene graphs.

The 3D semantic mesh gets broken down into distinct semantic layers, and the robot is then able to view a scene through a layer. The layers go from objects and people, to open spaces and structures, to rooms, corridors, halls, and whole buildings.

This layering method allows the robot to narrow its focus rather than having to analyze billions of points and faces. This layering method also allows the algorithms to track humans and their movement within the environment in real-time.

The new model was tested in a photo-realistic simulator that simulates a robot navigating an office environment with moving people.

We are essentially enabling robots to have mental models similar to the ones humans use, Carlone says. This can impact many applications, including self-driving cars, search and rescue, collaborative manufacturing, and domestic robotics.

Carlone was joined by lead author and MIT graduate student Antoni Rosinol.

Our approach has just been made possible thanks to recent advances in deep learning and decades of research on simultaneous localization and mapping, Rosinol says. With this work, we are making the leap toward a new era of robotic perception called spatial-AI, which is just in its infancy but has great potential in robotics and large-scale virtual and augmented reality.

The research was presented at the Robotics: Science and Systems virtual conference.

REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dexterity, creators of intelligent robots with human-like dexterity for logistics, warehousing, and supply chain, today announced the availability of its full-stack, hardware-agnostic robotic systems. Dexterity robots allow customers to unlock the maximum value of their workforce. Its robots automate repetitive pick-pack tasks and can handle complex manipulations in unpredictable environments, allowing warehouse employees to focus on higher-level cognitive work. The robots utilize artificial intelligence, advanced control theory, computer vision, and the sense of touch to adapt quickly, making them safe to work alongside humans. Initial customers include Kawasaki Heavy Industries, a global food manufacturer and distributor, and a worldwide package delivery provider.

Dexterity simplifies automation deployments by managing the entire process for customers, from end-to-end system design and engineering to deployments with operational guarantees. Unlike existing robotics providers, Dexterity robots are adaptable, mobile and collaborative. They are presently picking more than 200 unique items in production with 99.5% accuracy, and reliably pick a wide variety of novel objects including plastic bags, glass, perishables, and low-profile items.

Transcending other systems in the market, Dexterity robots can move, pack items using the sense of touch, and work collaboratively with one another. For instance, two robots can collaborate to pick trays or crates, and even collaboratively move them across the work-area if required. Finally, the robots operate safely in concert with humans and maximize human productivity.

While robots are the backbone of manufacturing, they have historically lacked the ability to adapt and operate in dynamic environments like warehouses, said Dexterity founder and CEO Samir Menon. Dexteritys intelligent robots constantly adapt to warehouse operations and do the tedious and strenuous tasks, which maximizes productivity by enabling humans to focus on meaningful work.

Founded in 2017, Dexteritys technical approach has Menons Ph.D. thesis in Robotics from Stanford University at heart. Menon worked on a control theory framework to describe how the human brain controls and coordinates the body, which serves as a model to distill human skill into mathematical programs that control robots in a graceful human-like manner.

Dexterity is exiting stealth with deep customer relationships, and a fleet of intelligent and collaborative robots in production. In todays world, with a pandemic raging, Dexterity is grateful to have an opportunity to serve the community as an essential business that, among other things, has shipped more than half a million units of packaged food.

To date, Dexterity has raised $56.2 million, including venture investments and debt from Kleiner Perkins, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Obvious Ventures, Pacific West Bank, B37 Ventures, Presidio (Sumitomo) Ventures, Blackhorn Ventures, Liquid 2 Ventures, and Stanford StartX.

Technically, Dexteritys robotic solution can do what their predecessors could not. Their robots ability to learn as it picks, packs, and places novel objects is unsurpassed, said Wen Hsieh, partner at Kleiner Perkins. Dexterity also stands out because of their high-touch approach with customers, which includes gaining a deep understanding of customers needs, and then offering a Robots-as-a-Service offering. This unique pricing model allows Dexterity to deploy quickly and effectively, which results in an immediate performance and financial impact on customers warehouse operations.

Dexterity is one of the very few companies in the world which has almost an unlimited market opportunity," said Raviraj Jain, partner at Lightspeed Venture Partners. "When I first met Samir, I immediately knew he had the technical chops, the drive, and the vision to do something exceptional. In the short 2.5 years, Samir has assembled an exceptional team of some of the best and the brightest in robotics, built a strong tech stack that is generalizable, and delivered significant customer value. We're excited to have partnered with Dexterity from day one and look forward to an exciting journey ahead.

Dexterity Full Stack Approach

Dexterity develops its robots with a full-stack approach, combining both software and hardware. To support high performance and adaptability with safe human-robot interaction, its robots have capabilities like touch perception, computer vision, force control, and contextual awareness.

Dexterity partners closely with customers to design systems and controls that match their individual needs and products, performing tasks such as fulfillment, kitting, sortation, singulation, palletization, and depalletization. Its platform is highly modular - rather than being coded to perform one specific task, robots can be deployed anywhere on any warehouse use case, with grippers or suction cups to suit objects being handled, 3D camera systems to track items, and general machine learning models trained to identify arbitrary unknown objects. By working with Dexterity robots, operators have become 47% more productive, and that improvement is growing over time as the robots learn and are more tightly integrate into local operations. Dexterity robots can also work safely alongside or independently of humans and have the ability to comply and respond to human movement and interference.

Dexteritys artificial intelligence, computer vision, and stacking design technology was what really stood out to us. Samir provides a clear vision for the future of our robotic applications and gives us confidence that with this partnership, we can easily deploy our robots in a variety of ways, said Toshihiko M., Manager, Robotics Business Center, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd.

Solving for Warehousing Challenges

The warehousing industry urgently needs automation to do the tedious, laborious, and unsafe tasks that make it difficult to recruit and retain staff. While supply chains continue to expand at a rapid pace driven by growth in e-commerce, interest in jobs that are repetitive and even dangerous continues to decline. This trend has been further complicated by COVID-19 -- increased volume, an exacerbated labor shortage due to health concerns, and the inability to guarantee safety for workers without heavily disrupting operations has amplified the need for automation.

Robots have been widely used in manufacturing, but they traditionally lack intelligence so they could only be deployed for precise pre-programmed tasks think welding in auto manufacturing where the welds are in the same place for every car. Dexterity enables human-like intelligence and dexterity to unlock a larger set of tasks in supply chain environments that have been previously unsolved by traditional robotics solutions.

About Dexterity:

Dexterity, Inc. creates intelligent robots with human-like dexterity that enable customers to unlock the maximum value of their workforce. Dexterity solves labor shortages by delegating repetitive tasks so employees can focus on higher-level, cognitive work. Its full stack robotics solutions automate routine tasks for logistics, warehousing, and supply chain operations and can be deployed to perform a wide variety of complex manipulations in unpredictable environments.

Dexterity, Inc. Introduces Intelligent Robots for Warehouse Automation that Pick, Move, Pack and Collaborate - Business Wire

Two Ohio continuing care retirement communities will participate in a $3.13 million study testing whether socially assistive robots, some of which are shaped like animals, can encourage social interaction among older adults, especially those living with dementia.

Researchers from Vanderbilt University and Ohio State Universitys College of Nursing have received a five-year grant from the National Institute on Aging at the National Institutes of Health to test the robots ability to help residents engage with one another in independent living communities, assisted living communities and nursing homes.

Ohio Living WestminsterThurber in Columbus, OH, and Chapel Hill Community, a United Church Homes life plan community in Canal Fulton, OH, will participate in an eight-week trial aimed at curbing loneliness and apathy.

The study will explore whether the robots, which researchers said are designed specifically for social interactions and capable of autonomously detecting and meaningfully responding to older adults attention and behavior, can effectively engage older adults with cognitive impairments in long-term care environments, according to Vanderbilt.

Ohio Living WestminsterThurber Executive Director Leslie Belfance told McKnights Senior Living that Lorraine Mion, professor of nursing at the Ohio State University, approached the community about participating in the study.

Were always looking for peace and joy outcomes, Belfance said, adding that OSU is 12 blocks from the WestminsterThurber community. When she proposed it to me, to have a little animal that is realistic for our residents, it would be fun and joyful for them. For some, its very calming and peaceful to sit and pet an animal. Im very excited to work alongside these wonderful two universities.

United Church Homes has conducted trials of new and emerging technologies over the past decade to try to expand its services based on its residents needs and wants. Last year, the organization conducted its own trial of virtual reality devices, buying such devices for several of its communities. United Church Homes also hired virtual visitor guides during the COVID-19 pandemic to schedule remote visits between residents and loved ones and to assist residents new to using FaceTime, Skype or Google Duo.

Socially assistive robots, virtual reality and social engagement technology all provide innovative ways for residents to do what they love at any age, Rev. Kenneth V. Daniel, president and CEO, told McKnights Senior Living. United Church Homes staff members get to know each resident, learning what brings purpose and meaning to their life. For residents living with cognitive impairment and other medical conditions, animal [socially assistive robots] can provide feelings of calm and comfort.

Without social interaction, older adults are more prone to apathy and loneliness, social isolation and cognitive decline, as well as stress and frustration from caregivers, according to Vanderbilt University researchers. Seventy-two percent of all long-term care residents experience apathy, they said, and the effects can lead to declines in physical health. By 2034, older adults aged 65 and older will outnumber children under 18 for the first time.

We aim to create a better quality of life for the aging population of our society, said Nilanjan Sarkar, chair of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Vanderbilt University and director of the Robotics and Autonomous Systems Lab. While there is no cure for dementia at this point, research shows that if we can keep people mentally engaged and active, we can possibly slow the progression of the disease and the deterioration of their overall health. Our research will help us understand how to create robots to act as a coach, as well as a peer, to facilitate interpersonal connections in a sustainable, meaningful way.

The robots can work with two people at a time, giving instructions for different tasks and activities, to encourage them to engage with each other.

Three different types of robots will be used in the study. NAO from SoftBank Robotics and Misty II from Misty Robotics are humanoid robots. Miro-B from Consequential Robotics is an animal-like social robot. The humanoid and animal-type robots will be used for four weeks each in community.

Researchers will observe how residents react to the different types of robots to see whether they stay engaged or become bored.

We know from research that apathy is the most common neuropsychiatric symptom in older adults with dementia and can have dire effects on both the quality of life for the patient and the emotional stability of the caregiver, said Mion, who is a former professor of nursing at the Vanderbilt School of Nursing. What we are seeking to understand is how we can improve engagement strategies using advanced-but-user-friendly robotic systems to stave off apathy and improve lives for these older adults in long-term care facilities.

The study will enable researchers to improve adaptive robot-mediated intervention architecture through additional software development, measure a reduction in apathy among older adults with cognitive impairments and mild or moderate dementia, and identify future scalability and sustainability of socially assistive robot implementation in long-term care settings.

Idea to use robots to complete annual sidewalk inspection program makes sense - especially in light of COVID-19, officials say

Tayresidents could be excused for giving a second glancewhile walking around the community this week.

Thats because the township employed robots to complete its annual sidewalk inspection program in Port McNicoll, Victoria Harbour and Waubaushene as part of a partnership with Top Hat Robotics, a start-up located in Kitchener-Waterloo.

It was a pilot project that the township signed up for, Tayroads and fleet services manager Lyell Berstrome said of the unique arrangement.

The robots and the human technicians running them will create a detailed report that will outline any deficiencies in the townships 18-kilometre network of sidewalk that need to be repaired, according to Bergstrome.

They had multiple robots andtechnicians walking aroundthe three municipalities, said Bergstrome, who noted the projects cost was low at under$400 because it is a pilot.

It also saves the township man hours of detailing every nook and cranny that needs attention in its sidewalk network.

Its beneficial right now with COVID. Wedidn't end up getting our stummer students we'd normally have so this kind of took a little bit of pressure off our fiscal resources, Bergstrome said. "For the cost, we couldn't go wrong."

According to the company, the robots are monitored by humans, either in-person or remotely with real-time video feeds.

Our robots take up less than half of the sidewalk, always allowing people to walk by, the company noted on its website.

The company touts reduced costs and reduced time needed to map a municipalitys sidewalk system.

The robots are designed with state-of-the-art depth cameras to detect lips, cracks, dips and other sidewalk deficiencies and are accurate to within one milimetre.

Our robots travel at walking speed and stop when pedestrians are within 10 feet of them. Robots operate on off-peak hours, providing for less pedestrian interruptions. These robots are on track to be semi-autonomous and designed to decrease cost while increasing safety.

The rest is here:

Robots invade area sidewalks. But there's nothing to fear! - OrilliaMatters

26 July 2020 1min read

Restrictions to curtail the spread of Covid-19 have reduced operations at factories and global supply chains have been impacted. We think factory automation will accelerate further in a post-Covid world, as machines dont get sick and can work continuously 24/7/365, excluding maintenance.

Industrial robots were installed rapidly across the global manufacturing sector throughout the 2010s, and there are now around 34 robots per 10,000 workers. However, overall penetration remains low, and looks set to deepen as robotic technologies improve in areas such as flexibility, vision, sensing and grasping.

In addition, the average cost of an industrial robot has continued to decline and is now equivalent on average to two years of wages in the Chinese manufacturing sector, or about one-fifth the cost of ten years ago. A lower fixed-cost burden should also boost the adoption of industrial robots.

Japan is a global leader in industrial robotics. Factory automation encapsulates a broad range of companies that provide the related components, systems, and services, and there are many competitive Japanese companies that command dominant market positions in each of these fields. Since the tech bubble burst two decades ago, the share prices of FA-related companies listed in Japan have steadily outperformed the TOPIX, and we expect them to maintain their strength as the world emerges from the Covid-19 crisis.

But its not just factories. In recent years, the use of collaborative robots (or cobots) and robots in the services industry has risen, thanks to new technologies and breakthroughs in artificial intelligence. We believe this will also accelerate in a post-Covid world.

Increasingly robots help maintain the structural health and integrity of our buildings and infrastructure, inspecting and repairing bridges, dams, skyscrapers, you name it, in order to keep people safe and make the world more efficient.

How Robots Are Used to Improve Structural Health and Design

Article from | Jori Hamilton

Robotics is being utilized by every industry to improve lives and business processes, but what about the world outside factories and offices? Increasingly robots help maintain the structural health and integrity of our buildings and infrastructure, inspecting and repairing bridges, dams, skyscrapers, you name it, in order to keep people safe and make the world more efficient.

Robotics fills needs where human labor is dangerous, hard to come by, or expensive, and in many ways, this is making the world safer for all of us. Through their ability to go where humans cannot and manage predictive maintenance, robots are giving humans hope for a better, safer tomorrow.

But you may be asking yourself, why robots? How can a robot improve structural health?

Inspecting the structural integrity of a building or resource is not always easy. Whenever that structure has foundations underwater or is of a size and scale that makes human navigation difficult, conducting an inspection of the structure is difficult at best and life-threatening at worst.

Take, for example, the piers and bridges pf Manhattan. In order to make inspections of them safer, there are AI-powered robots being built by researchers at Stevens Institute of Technology. These robots are being programmed with reinforcement learning, a form of AI that learns from repeated data sets in order to adjust to the rapidly changing environment beneath the sea and conduct thorough inspections and maintenance of US bridges, piers, pipelines, and dams. As our infrastructure begins to fail, this technology will be vital to maintaining a functioning economy.

Underwater infrastructure is another vital component of the nation that is commonly at risk. In the hard-battered environment of the sea, structures can quickly lose integrity. The worst part is, inspection of these structures is exceedingly difficult and expensive. For divers to reach depths often needed to conduct complete inspections of this infrastructure, they often have to place their lives at risk. It can take weeks for a diver to recover from reaching a dangerous depth.

Similarly, buildings that rise high off the ground or mines that delve beneath the earth make for dangerous environments that humans cannot easily access. Predictive maintenance models can assist inspectors in finding problems, but robots can do even more.

From tracking down structural damage to building extensive models for improvement, robotics is the next wave of structural health and design.

Everywhere that a structural environment poses a risk to human life, robots are being built and programmed for exploration and inspection. From nuclear plants to the deep sea, these bots can improve structural health by finding damages, leaks, and problems that humans would never be able to find.

The potential of what robotics can offer structural health and design is limitless, but here are a few of the benefits we are already seeing:

PRENAVs precision drone system, for example, uses fully automated drones to explore and record the entirety of a structure regardless of its height. Then, using included 3D-modeling software, a complete model of the structure can be recreated and analyzed safely by humans for improved design or any structural faults. This method saves companies hundreds of thousands of dollars in inspection costs alone, not to mention the costs that might occur due to unseen damages.

Additionally, this method saves money. While manual inspections of a large facility can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, the PRENAV system is only $20,000.

Meanwhile, underwater robots are conducting maintenance and examining structures for improvements. In one instance, fisheries specialist Tom Carlson designed a robotic swimmer to determine where salmon were being injured against a dam. This system allowed the dams engineers to improve the design, keeping the mortality rate of the fish down and reducing damage to the ecosystem. Similar robots like those designed by NASA can inspect for leaks and damages, and are invaluable alongside other monitoring tools like weir boxes.

By going where humans cannot go easily, robotics is changing the face of structural safety and design. Robots enable a complete picture and analytic data needed to recommend improvements to the way we build, whether we are building underwater or high above it. Structural engineers can then more accurately plan for, predict, and stave off disasters that would otherwise threaten human life.

Robotics like drones and autonomous swimmers can enhance the potential of structural design and safety. With the kind of data and feedback gathered from these invaluable resources, better buildings and resources can be created that stand up to time and the weathering of the elements, be it air or ocean.

With AI-powered robots using combinations of video monitoring, sonar, and motion-sensing software, robotics can help to save millions of dollars and plenty of human lives in the upkeep of our infrastructure. Better inspections, more data, and reduced costs mean a safer future with the power of robotics.

The industry's first comprehensive Robot Integrator Program saves robot integrators significant time and cost investments by allowing them to mark each cell compliant with ANSI/RIA R15.06 with the TUV Rheinland Mark. As opposed to a traditional certification or an on-site field labeling, TV Rheinland's Robot Integrator Program certifies the knowledge and skill-set of robot integrators in addition to testing robotic cells and processes against ANSI/RIA R15.06. This reduces the need for frequent onsite or off site testing and allows manufacturers to apply a single TV Rheinland label to multiple cells. The Robot Integrator Program individually assesses a robot integrator's understanding of the ANSI/RIA R15.06 standard along with the ability to consistently produce compliant robot cells. Following the requirements and procedures of the new program will enable robot integrators to produce individually compliant robotic cells under one serialized TV Rheinland Mark, which meets the national electric code and allows acceptance by Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) and end users.

Global Industrial Robotics Market Analysis Of Global Trends, Demand And Competition 2020-2029 - Owned

When employees at the 3D bioprinting company Cellink went back to the office Monday after nearly five months, they were required to clip a small piece of Bluetooth technology onto their clothes before walking through the offices front doors.

The devices, made by the Austrian company Safedi, are intended to make sure people are socially distancing in the office. A green light shines when people are at least six feet apart.

A red light flashes and the device emits a noise when people get too close.

Safedi has already shown its value in just one day, especially when it's time for those coffee breaks, Cellink CEO Erik Gatenholm said.

The devices are one example of the varied and sometimes bizarre tech-infused solutions businesses are using in an effort to get their employees back to work and offer their customers a safe environment amid the ongoing outbreaks of the coronavirus in the United States and in various parts of the world.

As some technologists have worked to create state-of-the-art contact tracing systems, others have embraced existing technologies to make simple solutions to the everyday questions that businesses now face, such as how many people can be in a building at any given time?

And some other technologies that have failed to catch on more broadly such as QR codes and robotics are starting to become more common, as well.

That has led some companies to move to take advantage of the new needs of many businesses.

When Dublin issued a shutdown order, Conall Laverty, founder and CEO of cloud platform Wia, saw an opportunity to pivot to hardware. Laverty and his team built a sensor during the pandemic that companies can pair with a remote cloud-computing platform to anonymously count and regulate the flow of people in and out of a place of business, even regulating the number of people in hallways and bathrooms at any given time.

Its already in high demand. The company, which is based in the Irish capital, recently signed a deal with BigDish, a U.K. restaurant technology company, to roll out its product, called DFS-1, in more than 650 restaurants. Last week, Wia also installed one of its earliest orders at the landmark Jameson Distillery Bow St. in Dublin.

"This is a big transition for us, Laverty said. We originally started Wia to help engineers easily build Internet of Things devices, but now have evolved the business to provide state-of-the-art sensor technologies to some of the biggest names in the world.

While maintaining social distance is a crucial part of coronavirus mitigation efforts, businesses are also working on making sure their facilities are routinely disinfected. That's provided an opportunity for robotics to take on new tasks.

When stay-at-home orders were issued at the start of March, DCL Logistics, a fulfillment company in Fremont, California, that ships online orders for brands such as thermometer maker Kinsa and cereal company Magic Spoon, saw a 30 percent surge in business.

Under normal circumstances, DCL would have hired people, chief revenue officer Brian Tu told Reuters, but keeping existing employees safe and socially distanced in their California fulfillment centers required a different fix.

Instead, they added to their fleet of robots with cobots, collaborative robots, according to a blog post from Tu. The robots are made by Universal Robots, a company based in Odense, Denmark. and have been used to help pick and pack orders. Each fulfillment line used to require five workers, he said. With the robots, it now takes two. DCL plans to bring in more robotic help at its facilities in California and Kentucky this year.

FarmWise, a San Francisco company that makes robots to help with farming tasks, from picking weeds to harvesting vegetables, said it has seen an increase in interest from farmers in California and Arizona seeking to bring on robotic helpers to assist scaled-down crews of employees.

The biggest factor here is the state of mind farmers are put into and how difficult it is to maintain their production level with this crisis, FarmWise CEO Sebastien Boyer said.

Robots have already been mixing coffees and smoothies at kiosks for years, but with more of them in the kitchen, employees would have time to thoroughly disinfect restaurant tables and bathrooms.

Fast-food giant White Castle plans to test a robotic arm called Flippy that will be tested as the new burger flipper and fry cook at some of its restaurants. The burger chain had been in talks with Miso Robotics, based in Pasadena, California, about Flippy before the pandemic, but the virus made the need to shift human resources to disinfecting tasks even more urgent.

Robots are also doing more cleaning. FabLab Bahrain, based in Manama, created an autonomous cleaning robot that emits UV light to kill the coronavirus as did the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. Manufacturers of cleaning-focused robots have enjoyed a spike in sales.

While robots are helping humanity find its new normal during the pandemic, the key will be collaboration, Karen Panetta, dean of graduate education at Tufts Universitys School of Engineering, said.

Robots need humans to operate or maintain them. In some cases, they also arent a complete substitute for humans.

When it comes to cleaning and disinfecting, robots perform well in uniform spaces, such as open floors, but are challenged by objects and constrained spaces, Panettta, an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers fellow, said.

The unique challenges that were currently facing require more innovative and integrative systems that require human-machine cooperation to make progress," she added.

Some companies, most notably restaurants, are embracing an even older piece of technology as part of their reopening plans: QR codes.

The codes, which were invented in 1994 by the Japanese company Denso Wave to help track vehicles during the manufacturing process and resemble a square version of a bar code, never really caught on with the general public despite the proliferation of smartphones that can easily read them with cameras.

But the codes are providing a simple way for restaurants to provide their menus in a digital fashion, avoiding the risk of physical, coronavirus-laden paper.

In some cases, restaurants are even asking customers to order and pay using the restaurants unique code.

At the Frying Pan, a popular Manhattan boat bar, special QR codes are on each table. Customers are instructed to scan the codes, order and pay, instead of walking up to the bar and ordering. At Tuna Bar, a Philadelphia sushi restaurant, owner and chef Kenneth Sze said hes using QR codes for his menus, giving the restaurant one less item to sanitize.

The QR codes are very efficient since we can update the menu as we need, he said Since the restaurant isnt at full capacity, our menu is limited to keep things fresh.

However, Sze said hes hesitant about going all-in on technology and making the dining experience at his restaurant even more contactless. He wants to see how the next few months go before he makes a decision.

Im used to a waiter approaching you and giving full service. I know thats kind of changing, but Im old school, he said. Im hesitant of fully committing because I want that service.

Robots, QR codes and bluetooth: Businesses turn to tech as they reopen - NBC News

Kiwibot delivery robots on the streets of Medelln, Colombia, in April 2020Photo: VIEW press (Getty Images)

This week, an article on SFGate posed the question: Is the rise of restaurant robots here? Anyone who has been keeping up with The Takeouts robot beat knows that the answer is yes. San Franciscans are, in fact, largely responsible for the genesis and incubation of many of our future overlords, so you would think theyd know this already. But just as humanity has disrupted the world of technology, so shall the technology turn around to disrupt us.

The robot that caught the attention of SFGate is Kiwibot, the robot food delivery startup behind all the four-wheeled, doe-eyed coolers that have been zipping around college campuses like UC Berkeley for the past three years. As the pandemic rages on, the rather adorable robotswhich many people have foolishly assumed would be nothing more than a noveltyhave at last come into their own. So many restaurants and institutions have expressed interest in using delivery robots that the company has begun to expand, and Kiwibot will be hitting the streets of San Jose next Tuesday.

As we all know, the COVID-19 situation in California is, well, not good. By replacing humans with robots for contactless food delivery, restaurants are ostensibly able to provide their customers some peace of mind. SFGate spoke with Jerry Wang, who opened the Paper Moon Coffee Co. in San Jose the day before San Franciscos shelter-in-place order started. To save his one-day-old business, Wang reached out to Kiwibot about a potential partnership.

Im always looking at how I can establish a store in this kind of environment, realizing that we have to do more delivery services, a contact-free set-up, and maintain cleaning standards, said Wang. From there, that led us to the path of Kiwibot.

And Kiwibot is not the only robot delivery service in town. SFGate also reached out to Starship Technologies, which commented that demand for its self-driving robots has tripled over the past year. But just because the demand is there doesnt mean the robots are fully ready to eliminate the humans (yet). Kiwibots delivery radius is only one mile, while Starships is three to four.

G/O Media may get a commission

Robots also make great financial sense for restaurants: third-party delivery services like Grubhub, DoorDash, and UberEats normally take a 20-40% commission on all restaurant deliveries, which is untenable in an industry with ridiculously low profit margins (even before real estate prices in San Francisco went off the rails, margins were less than 5%). The companies behind delivery robots, on the other hand, charge only a small flat fee, which allows restaurants to keep their profits. Currently Kiwibot charges $3.99 per delivery, and the company says that as it gets more robots on the streets, those prices will go down.

Currently its difficult to get permits to operate the robots on city sidewalks, particularly in San Franciscothis might be because some very smart people in municipal government understand the existential threat posed by a fleet of intelligent machines. In 2017 there was a proposed robot ban, based on concerns that they would ram into people on sidewalks, possibly endangering seniors, children, people with disabilities, and anyone who is looking at their phone instead of scanning the area for robots. The city eventually settled on a compromise, allowing companies to have only three robots apiece, with no more than nine delivery robots deployed across the city at any given time.

(Of course, lawmakers failed to account for the fact that the robots have spent the past several years indoctrinating college students, ushering in a new age of robot acceptance among Gen Z, lying in wait until the day they can plow into our shins at speeds of up to 25 miles per hour. When all of humanity is stuck inside nursing injuries, we shall then be fully dependent on the robots to bring us basic supplies like painkillers and burritos, and they will have won.)

SFGate noted that robots have not only infiltrated restaurant deliverya fact we know all too well. Another Silicon Valley company called Bear Robotics has been manufacturing robotic food runners, which it claims is making restaurant workers jobs easier during a period when many restaurants are understaffed, rather than taking their jobs away.

For us, the pandemic has really fast-tracked our goal to get robots out into the market, said Juan Higueros, chief operating officer at Bear Robotics. This [pandemic] will continue on for some time, so were one of a few automation solutions that the restaurant industry is considering. Its a big shift for a huge industry, and now is the time to get that going. Where some people thought that would happen a couple of years out, now it has to happen now.
