By nature, this robotic surgical company has an enormous competitive edge. Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ:ISRG) is one of the largest holdings in a new ETF called ProShares MSCI Transformational Changes ETF (NYSEMKT:ANEW) that captures the revolutionary changes accelerated by the pandemic. Here's what investors need to know.

Corinne Cardina: Definitely. Genomics and telehealth. I want to start with Intuitive Surgical because this is a Fool favorite in the healthcare space. It's the company behind the da Vinci robotic surgical system. It helps surgeons perform minimally invasive procedures. It's got a nice installed base of systems and enjoys a lot of competitive benefits. How do you envision the future of Intuitive Surgical?

Scott Helfstein: You mentioned the importance of robots and while I'm not really a fan of not having a doctor in the room to operate on me, nonetheless, we have seen surgery, number of surgeries have come down during COVID. People are putting things off unless it is really a necessity. I think any ways we can deliver more efficient and safer healthcare outcomes is a pathway to the future and it's something that we should be excited about. When we think about something like surgical robots, there's a phenomenal barrier to entry there. You need to get people trained. They are expensive. It's not exactly the type of thing where a hospital is just going to hop off and go do something else. For a lot of reasons, we think that that's a growth opportunity. It speaks to remote, it speaks to artificial intelligence and automation, and so really encapsulates so much of what we're trying to talk about here.

Global Collaborative Robotics Market Growth Powered With Latest Development Scenario and Influencing Trends and Forecast 2026 - Murphy's Hockey Law

Milking robots made by DeLaval replaced the human operated milking parlor at Hillcrest Farms in Dearing, Ga., a fourth-generation American family dairy farm owned and operated by Mark Rodgers and his family since 1941. Hillcrest Farms is Georgia's first robotic dairy, but others are being added as technology changes agriculture. (Hyosub Shin / Hyosub.Shin@ajc.com)

Agriculture is still Georgias largest industry with an estimated $75 billion impact on the states trillion-dollar economy. And though it still carries a dirt-under-the-fingernails stereotype, those fingers are becoming as used to swiping screens full of data as they are cleaning out a jammed cotton picker.

From autonomous tractors to field-pest analysis provided by drone and in-ground sensors providing moisture content, farming in Georgia is moving well into the 21st century. Technology is critical to keeping folks fed as fewer farmers provide more food and agriculture often a tough business to turn a profit in looks for efficiency. Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan included high-tech farming as a key element of his economic plan to make Atlanta and Georgia the Silicon Valley of the East.

The Rodgers family knows that as well any. Georgia has lost 40% of its dairy farms in the last decade, according to the Georgia Milk Producers, which points to low milk prices, competition from other drinks and the challenge of finding workers who can milk cows two or three times a day, every day.

Rodgers and his brother, Andy, could have avoided the debt of adding robots to the farm, which is near Augusta, as they near their 60s, and eased into the life of raising beef rather than milking. But Marks daughter Caitlin, 30, and Andys son Joshua, 27, wanted to come home and take over the 850 acres.

Its still a family farm. Thats the beauty of the whole thing, Mark Rodgers said.

The robots, the family hopes, will help a fourth generation to hang on and, hopefully, thrive.

Their Holsteins let themselves into the milking stalls about twice a day. Cows love routines, Rodgers says. And dairy cows get an urge to be relieved of the liquid pressure when their udders are full. On top of that, the stainless steel robotic milkers throw in a treat sweet, high-starch feed when the cows enter the milking chute.

Its kind of like giving a kid candy. They love it, Rodgers said.

Each individual cow can be monitored daily for any changes using artificial intelligence and robotic technology at Hillcrest Farms in Dearing, Ga. Technology is quickly changing how Georgia farmers operate and helping them stay competitive. (Hyosub Shin / Hyosub.Shin@ajc.com)

It was a matter of training and repetition taking a cow of average intelligence and good temper about three days to figure out and a few months to perfect.

But it was a little nerve-wracking when the occasional jumpy trainee gave a startled kick while being touched by one of the five expensive robotic milkers.

The technology at Hillcrest is the first in Georgia. At least four other dairies in the state are making the move to robotics. Its more common in Europe, where the technology was perfected.

The local pioneer is attracting attention. Lots of people come for tours, including other farmers. The bejeaned Rodgers says he also gets questions via internet from farmers as far away as New Zealand and Pakistan.

DeLaval of Sweden, the manufacturer of the robotic milkers, promises on its website to make farms more profitable.

Rodgers said DeLaval doesnt want him to say how much the robots cost. But its like buying Porsches and dropping them into a barn.

Luckily Hillcrest Farms can afford the investment. Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue, the former Georgia governor, has told farmers that small farms will have to bulk up if they want to survive.

Josh, Andy Rodgers son, got a degree in industrial maintenance and was the one who suggested the family take a look at adding robots to the 79-year-old operation. He maintains the machines and said the start was something of a trial by fire.

Mark Rodgers talked daughter Caitlin into trying something other than farming when she went to college.

Dad told me not to come back. That it was going to be a hard life, she said.

She started in nursing but soon gave it up and followed her heart to an agricultural degree. She manages the herd.

Labor costs is driving this, Mark Rodgers said of the robotics. He cant compete for workers with some of the local manufacturers hourly wages.

Rodgers has reduced staff from about 10 to six. Theres still plenty of work to do: feeding, cleaning, caring for the herd, birthing calves, growing corn and other fodder for feed. The robotics lets them focus on the cows rather than the daily churn of milkings.

As Rodgers talked in front of one robotic milker, a steady stream of Holsteins let themselves into the chute. They can do that 24/7. After moveable gates backed the cows into perfect position, a low-slung silver arm holding the milking cups and a spray-and-wash unit for the udders carefully moved into place beneath the cow, guided by a camera and artificial intelligence that can recognize teats and seat the milking cups.

An iPad-sized screen lights up with information about the cow and, ounce by ounce, production in real time.

The machine already knows more about the cow than Rodgers could ever memorize, down to how much milk each teat has given in the last 10 months and how much the cow moved in the last 24 hours, thanks to a bovine equivalent of a Fitbit around its neck. He has more data stacked up on the farms cows than he knows what to do with, all accessible on a computer screen or iPhone.

The decision to make the investment was about making things more efficient, making a profit and making the cows happy, Rodgers said.

He thinks they like the process better than human-controlled milking.

Mark Rodgers shows how each of the farms hundreds of cows are individually monitored 24 hours a day. Artificial intelligence can tip the Rodgers family off to health, from sickness to when a cow is ready to breed. (Hyosub Shin / Hyosub.Shin@ajc.com)

You want to be leave them alone and let cows be cows. That is the beauty of the system, we are not forcing them to do anything, he said.

A relaxed cow is a good milker. An average Holstein gives about 11 gallons a day. His best girl gives about 24. Production is down a little this year as the cows continue to get used to the process.

Rodgers thinks that will go back up over time as the cows settle in and he culls those now carefully monitored Holsteins and keeps the ones that do well. Those that dont are still marketable as meat.

Hell be happy to ease into the life of a gentleman farmer and watch the robots and the children take more of the responsibility.

Ill never see the benefit of all this, he said of the investment. But they will.

Tended by robots, milk cows mooove into life of luxury - Atlanta Journal Constitution

Warehouse features more than 60 GreyMatter-directed robots working alongside employees.

GreyOrange today announced that its GreyMatter operating system and Ranger MoveSmart robots have been implemented in Active Ants' new e-fulfillment center in Roosendaal, The Netherlands. The 20,000 square meter warehouse features the GreyMatter Smart Zone Transfer application, utilizing Ranger MoveSmart robots to autonomously move and sort inventory in flexible process flows not possible with fixed conveyors or sorters.

Active Ants provides warehousing services to various e-commerce companies in Belgium, The Netherlands and Germany with the goal of raising the efficiency and accuracy of e-fulfillment through innovation, automation and the deployment of robots. The Dutch e-fulfillment company stores, packs and distributes goods for more than 250 customers and more than 3 million orders annually.

At the Roosendaal e-fulfillment center, Smart Zone Transfer happens autonomously as GreyMatter software orchestrates the complete process flow as Ranger MoveSmart robots convey inventory to various workstations. The process begins as Ranger robots take empty boxes to employees who fill them with goods brought by other robots. Next, Ranger robots transport the filled boxes to packaging machines where they are sealed and weighed. Then, Ranger robots collect the packages and sort them to the correct zones for shipping directly to customers.

Process flows executed by Ranger robots can be altered as needed through simple changes in GreyMatter's intuitive Command Center interface. With traditional conveyor systems and most existing software platforms, this type of change would typically take months of customized solutioning and implementation.

"No matter what I need to do with zone transfer, I can alter the process flow in GreyMatter even though I'm not a programmer," said Dekker. "This level of flexibility allows us to meet our current needs while also having the ability to quickly make changes. We can easily modify the robot movements if needed as well as scale up the solution in line with our throughput growth to smartly manage capital investment."

"Fast-growing companies require automation that equips them to easily adapt their fulfillment processes as market dynamics change," said Akash Gupta, cofounder and chief technology officer for GreyOrange. "They don't want to be constricted by fixed infrastructure that locks them into process flows for 10 to15 years. The power to quickly adapt is what gives retailers an edge in today's world, and it's a foundational design principle of our GreyMatter Fulfillment Operating System and family of Ranger robots. We're pleased to deliver this unmatched innovation and versatility to Active Ants as part of their goal of delivering exceptional service to their customers," Gupta added.

Unlike fixed infrastructure that is difficult or impossible to reconfigure, Ranger MoveSmart autonomous mobile robots perform with complete flexibility. Through orchestrated integration with GreyMatter, Ranger MoveSmart can convey, move or sort anywhere in the DC and provide rapid response to changing processes and accelerated throughput.

The e-fulfillment partnership between Active Ants and GreyOrange will be highlighted in a webinar "Free from Fixed: Why Moving from Rigid to Flexible Systems is the Go-To Answer to Fulfilling Today's Immediate Commerce" to be held on Dec. 9, 2020 at 9:30 AM ET.

Attendees will hear from Jean Lahaye, Active Ants Managing Partner, and Nigel Lahiri, GreyOrange EMEA Sales Director, about how they applied innovative thinking, AI and robotics to solve current and future fulfillment challenges. To register, visit:

GreyOrange Deploys Smart Zone Transfer Capabilities within Active Ants e-Fulfillment Warehouse in The Netherlands - Robotics Tomorrow

Standing just 5ft tall, Mitra navigates around the hospital wards, guided by facial recognition technology and with a chest-mounted tablet that allows patients and their loved ones to see each other.

Developed in recent years by the Bengaluru startup Invento Robotics, Mitra costs around $13,600 (10,000) and due to the reduced risk of infection to doctors has become hugely popular in Indian hospitals during the pandemic.

Since making headlines at its debut in 2017 at an international summit, where it greeted Ivanka Trump and interacted with Indias prime minister Narendra Modi, Mitra has increasingly been put to use in hospitals treating Covid-19 patients.

Mitra was originally meant for care homes, but was adapted during the pandemic to assist doctors and nurses by taking vital readings, and to help in consultations, says Balaji Viswanathan, chief executive of Invento Robotics, which now exports the robot to five countries including the US and Australia.

India still only has about three robots for every 10,000 workers, but the domestic industry is growing rapidly, fuelled in no small part by the pandemic.

Successful startups have boomed and according to the latest report by the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), India is now among the top 10 countries for annual installation of robots in industries. Industrial robot sales reached a new record of 4,771 in 2018, up 39% from the previous year.

According to the daily Business Standard, the robotics market in India is expected to grow by 20% between 2017 and 2025. From hospitality to hospitals, a range of sectors are adopting automation to reduce costs, time or to achieve precision and in some cases save lives.

One startup called Genrobotics, from the southern state of Kerala, collaborated with local authorities to adapt its spider-shaped robot Bandicoot to clean sewers and manholes, which until then had been cleaned manually notoriously dangerous and unpleasant work.

Though the machine is expensive, it can prevent human lives from being lost

We found manual scavenging is a global issue, and there was no efficient tech to clean manholes, says Rashid K, head of Genrobotics.

Now more than 11 Indian states are using the worlds first manhole cleaning robot.

Babu K Y is the manager of Hand to Hand India, an NGO involved in bringing Bandicoot to Tamil Nadu. Though the machine is expensive, he says, it can prevent human lives from being lost in this hazardous operation and is also very easy to operate, helping reach greater depths than in manual scavenging.

Since 2011 the Indian army has been using Daksh robots equipped with x-ray vision and chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear hazard detection mechanisms. Delhis GreyOrange is now making robots for the growing warehousing and automation sector.

According to a report by the IFR in 2017, Indias automotive sector was the main customer for industrial robots, accounting for 62% of the total supplied. Maruti Suzuki India used robots in its Manesar and Gurgaon plants and Mahindra has a robotic welding line in its plant in Nashik. Tata Motors uses an industrial robot made in India to lift heavy loads.

Although many Indian hospitals adopted robots during the pandemic because of a shortage of PPE, and because they can be used for disinfecting floors using ultra-violet radiation and strong disinfectants, they were also being used before the pandemic in healthcare, for surgeries requiring high levels of precision.

Dr Venkatesh Munikrishnan, a colorectal surgeon who works with Apollo Hospitals in Chennai, operates using Intuitive Surgicals Da Vinci XI a remote control robotics system.

This system helps me in performing difficult surgeries with 10 times more magnification, and 3D views. Firefly fluorescence technology used with the Da Vinci robot lights up the blood supply to the organ, and helps differentiate cancerous from healthy tissue, he says. Though these systems are very expensive and have to be imported, their superior advanced technologies are invaluable in complex surgeries.

Rajeev Karwal of Milagrow Human Tech has seen his company expand swiftly. We started off making robots for residences, from floor-cleaning to swimming-pool-cleaning robots, and later industrial robots for the hospitality industry.

With the advent of the pandemic, we focused on humanoids that could be used to disinfect hospital floors, provide temperature checks, do ward rounds and arrange phone calls with doctors, he says.

However, adoption of robots in India has been slow for many reasons, the main one being processes in Indian companies are not very standardised. Another is the high customs duties on importing the technology.

There are also widespread fears that robots will take away jobs in a country where unemployment is already high.

Doctors and staff are reluctant to use technology and monitor the robots, and there is also the problem of poor wifi

Even though humanoids were introduced in Indian hospitals during the pandemic, doctors and staff are reluctant to use technology and monitor the robots, and there is also the problem of poor wifi connectivity in many places, that may make people go back to their old ways of doing things, says Karwal. For new technology mental and physical barriers need to be crossed.

Scaling up remains a challenge, but the automation trend looks as though its here to stay.

As Karwal says: Once you adopt these technologies, theres no going back. Leveraged intelligently, they put you on the path to better solutions that make life easier for people.

RoboDoc: how Indias robots are taking on Covid patient care - The Guardian

There's no doubt that investing in the stock market is a truly brilliant way to build wealth. But not every stock you buy will perform as well as the overall market. Over the last year the T-Robotics.Co.,Ltd. (KOSDAQ:117730) share price is up 26%, but that's less than the broader market return. We'll need to follow T-Robotics.Co.Ltd for a while to get a better sense of its share price trend, since it hasn't been listed for particularly long.

See our latest analysis for T-Robotics.Co.Ltd

While markets are a powerful pricing mechanism, share prices reflect investor sentiment, not just underlying business performance. One imperfect but simple way to consider how the market perception of a company has shifted is to compare the change in the earnings per share (EPS) with the share price movement.

During the last year T-Robotics.Co.Ltd grew its earnings per share, moving from a loss to a profit.

When a company is just on the edge of profitability it can be well worth considering other metrics in order to more precisely gauge growth (and therefore understand share price movements).

We think that the revenue growth of 30% could have some investors interested. We do see some companies suppress earnings in order to accelerate revenue growth.

The image below shows how earnings and revenue have tracked over time (if you click on the image you can see greater detail).

We know that T-Robotics.Co.Ltd has improved its bottom line lately, but what does the future have in store? So it makes a lot of sense to check out what analysts think T-Robotics.Co.Ltd will earn in the future (free profit forecasts).

We're happy to report that T-Robotics.Co.Ltd are up 26% over the year. While it's always nice to make a profit on the stock market, we do note that the TSR was no better than the broader market return of about 37%. The last three months haven't been great for shareholder returns, since the share price has trailed the market by 15% in the last three months. But a weak quarter certainly doesn't diminish the longer-term achievements of the business. I find it very interesting to look at share price over the long term as a proxy for business performance. But to truly gain insight, we need to consider other information, too. For instance, we've identified 3 warning signs for T-Robotics.Co.Ltd (1 is a bit unpleasant) that you should be aware of.

But note: T-Robotics.Co.Ltd may not be the best stock to buy. So take a peek at this free list of interesting companies with past earnings growth (and further growth forecast).

T-Robotics.Co.Ltd (KOSDAQ:117730) Shareholders Have Enjoyed A 26% Share Price Gain - Simply Wall St

LEBANON As the first surge of COVID-19 cases began in the early spring, Dr. Meredith MacMartin and her colleagues in palliative care at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center wondered how to ensure that patients could stay in close touch with their families and care providers while minimizing the risk of infection.

Then, MacMartin, medical director at the Jack Byrne Center for Palliative and Hospice Care, saw a link on her Twitter feed that seemed to present a solution robots carrying tablets such as iPads to patients rooms for them to use to speak with loved ones as well as their providers.

Having robots ferry the devices would reduce the need for clinicians to don the necessary protective equipment to enter a patients room, conserving the equipment as well as the clinicians time.

MacMartin reached out to an engineer friend, Rich Kaszeta, and asked, how hard would this be? His response was not that hard, she said.

Kaszeta put her in touch with James Cole-Henry, a mechanical engineer at Lebanon-based Fujifilm Dimatix who is also head coach for the Grasshoppers, the FIRST robotics team at the Hartford Area Career Technical Center. Cole-Henry then involved current students and alumni to help outline the problem and develop the model.

One of my students came up with the idea to use magnets, Cole-Henry said in a video call. I was a little embarrassed. At work Im like Mr. Magnet.

The robots first deployed in patient rooms in the Childrens Hospital at Dartmouth beginning in September, Cole-Henry said. The design they came up with after several iterations is triangular with wheels and uses magnets to connect to a black stand with a long arm holding an iPad. It is operated using a controller similar to that used for video games. MacMartin said that even though shes not a gamer, she found the controllers to be pretty user-friendly.

The engineers worked together remotely for the most part. Grasshopper Machine Werks, a machine shop that Cole-Henry co-owns in Enfield, served as home base for the project.

MacMartin, who said developing robots wasnt on her 2020 bingo card, found herself walking around DHMC with a tape measure in order to be able to tell Cole-Henry and his team how much space they had to work with.

Its been really fun to talk with people who are very smart about machines, she said.

Challenges for the design included ensuring that it would be easy to clean and that it could safely navigate around the hospital without hurting people, Cole-Henry said.

During the development, Cole-Henry said the project gave him and the students and alumni participants a way to help address the ongoing pandemic. Before MacMartin approached him with the project, he said he had been frustrated that the best way he could help was by staying home and away from others.

Being able to develop the robots for the hospital felt so much better than doing nothing, he said.

The robotics team alumni who, because of the pandemic, didnt have technical internships this summer were especially grateful for the opportunity to develop their skills, Cole-Henry said.

Due to relatively low numbers of patients with COVID-19 at DHMC, the robots havent been needed as much as MacMartin thought might be the case early on in the pandemic. They may see greater use as cases of COVID-19 increase. Dartmouth-Hitchcock will be using iPads and telehealth carts in the emergency department and at regional hospitals to augment care and for critical care consultation for patients with COVID-19, according to a news release.

Theres promise for the devices beyond COVID-19, MacMartin said. They could be useful in reducing the risk of infection for patients with compromised immune systems, such as those receiving bone marrow transplants, by reducing the number of people who enter their room, she said.

I do think theres some other really interesting ways we might be able to use these to benefit patients, protect them and protect staff, she said.

Video technology has helped family members of patients in the intensive care unit to be able to see their loved one and the care providers while they arent able to visit in person, she said.

Like Cole-Henry, MacMartin said that teamwork it took to create the robots was a bright spot during what has largely been a period of isolation.

Its been really nice to feel the sense of collaboration and support with our community about it, she said, noting that several local companies chipped in materials and time. Being able to pool together to use our collective skills and experience to accomplish this, that feels like a pretty big win.

The code for the robots is open source, so Cole-Henry said hes hopeful it can be used by other people.

Robots lend a hand during the pandemic - Valley News

The RP-1200 scoops up to 300 golf balls during a session.

The revolution of the range is coming, folks. For everyone who grew up logging hours behind the wheel of a range picker like proud PGA Tour pro Daniel Berger now is the time to lament. Robots will soon make that job obsolete!

Enter the BallPicker from Belrobotics, or the RP-1200 from Echo, or Herr Robot from Golf Robotics. All of them look basically the same and do one thing well: they pick the range.

They pick the range well enough that one club in Mississippi The Club at Ole Brook just made the humans-to-robots transition, and it made the local news. Ole Brook chose the Echo Robotics version of automated picker, which goes for about $19,000, and bought two of them.

All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team. If you buy a linked product, GOLF.COM may earn a fee. Pricing may vary.

Could it be a fad? Itd be a pretty expensive fad to get involved with, if thats the case. The pickers run on a rechargeable battery and scoot around your range at just more than 2 mph. They can scoop up about 300 balls and return them to a washing station before heading back out again. Wires laid in the ground at ranges edge work like an electric dog fence, telling them when to turn back to the grassy area. And the controls for all of it sits in a pretty dashboard on the general managers cell phone.

Okay, maybe robot range pickers are better, after all.

They took some tweaking at first, but weve had fun with them, GM Jeff Henning told the Daily Leader.

As far as he knows, these are the only robotic range pickers in the state. For now, at least.
