Additive manufacturing has revolutionized the way a great of deal of products are engineered and brought to life. By utilizing additive technology, manufacturers are able to quickly and easily create complex parts and products with greater accuracy and precision than ever before. A very popular material used for additive manufacturing via 3D printing is ceramics. Ceramics are widely adopted in 3D printing due to their strength, durability, and heat resistance. Ceramics are used in additive manufacturing for a wide range of applications, from aerospace and automotive industries to medical and dental implants. Ceramics are ideal for creating intricate components that require high levels of precision and accuracy. They are also being used to create prototypes and parts that cannot be manufactured using traditional methods. The use of ceramics in additive manufacturing is also being combined with automation technologies, such as robotics and machine learning techniques, to make the production process even more efficient. By utilizing this automation, manufacturers can reduce production time and costs while also increasing the accuracy and quality of the finished product. Automation also allows manufacturers to quickly and easily create complex parts and products with greater accuracy and precision than ever before. Additive manufacturing and automation technologies are revolutionizing the way products are created and manufactured. This technology is helping to make the production process faster, more efficient, and more cost-effective. In this article from MIT Technology Review, the invention of a new method of 3D printing using ceramics is discussed along with some benefits of the material itself.

Filtering Out the Noise
Often, the engineering team at Intellimech is tasked with delivering a solution that requires an unconventional, innovative approach to accomplish our partners’ objective. Encompassing and applying our know-how, from custom servo-controlled mechanisms and high-precision motion systems to fast real-time control and cutting-edge machine vision and sensing tools, allows us to push the boundaries of what’s possible in automation. One tool employed by our engineers is the Kalman filter, created by its namesake Rudolf Kálmán and published in 1960. Whether developing a control algorithm for a complex process or designing a force control method in MATLAB, the Kalman filter is indispensable. Kalman filters are a powerful and versatile tool for automation systems. They provide a way to process data in real-time and make decisions quickly, which is essential for many automation processes. Kalman filters are based on a mathematical model that combines statistical methods and state-space equations. This model is designed to be adaptive, meaning it can adjust its parameters in response to changing conditions and inputs. This makes Kalman filters useful for tasks that require accurate estimation and filtering of data. Kalman filters are used for a variety of automation tasks, such as tracking moving objects, detecting anomalies in sensor data, and estimating the state of a system. They are also used for tasks that require accurate data, such as navigation and control. In this article from MIT Technology Review, the background and far-reaching impact of this versatile tool is explored. If you’re facing a challenge that requires in-depth engineering knowledge and versatile capability for your custom solution, connecting with Intellimech today can be the first step on the path to realizing your application.
Automation, Anywhere & Everywhere
As automation technology becomes more sophisticated and advanced, it is increasingly being used to automate off-highway applications. Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and robots are becoming popular tools for this purpose, as they can provide a cost-effective, efficient and safe way to perform various tasks, such as material handling, inspection and maintenance. AGVs are self-navigating vehicles that can transport materials and products along predefined routes. They are typically equipped with sensors and cameras, which enable them to detect obstacles and follow pre-determined paths. AGVs often employ an onboard controller that allows them to make decisions and adjust their route if needed. Robots are more advanced than AGVs and are capable of performing more complex tasks such as welding, painting and assembly. They are usually equipped with application-specific sensors and machine vision cameras that allow them to identify objects, determine the best path to take, and detect any changes in the environment. Robotic systems are also able to adapt to changes in their environment through machine learning models, making them ideal for off-highway applications. Off-highway automation is becoming increasingly popular in the manufacturing and logistics industries, as companies look to increase efficiency and reduce costs while keeping safety at the forefront of their operations. AGVs and robots can provide this advantage, making them a valuable tool to make use of. In this article from MIT Technology Review, the use of drones and robots along with machine learning methods to perform industrial inspection is discussed. Intellimech’s experience with engineering off-highway automated systems, mobile control, and machine vision can help our partners’ projects go the distance.

Getting Closer to Your Robotic Colleague
Human and robot collaboration in industrial environments is becoming increasingly important as companies look for ways to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance safety. The integration of advanced technologies is key to achieving these goals, and several key technologies are enabling this collaboration. One of the most important technologies is the use of sensors and machine learning algorithms to enable robots to “see” and understand their environment. This includes the use of cameras, lidar, and other sensors to gather data about the environment, as well as machine learning algorithms that can analyze this data and allow the robot to make decisions based on it. This enables robots to work alongside humans in a more natural and intuitive way, as they can understand and respond to the actions of their human colleagues. Another key technology is the use of advanced robotic manipulators and grippers. These devices allow robots to handle a wide range of objects and materials, and to manipulate them with precision and control. This is particularly important in industrial environments, where robots are often required to work with a wide range of different materials and products. Finally, the use of communication and control systems is also crucial for enabling human and robot collaboration. These systems allow humans and robots to communicate with one another in real-time, which enables them to work together more effectively. Additionally, control systems allow robots to be programmed and controlled remotely, which enables them to be easily integrated into existing industrial environments. Overall, the integration of advanced technologies is enabling human and robot collaboration in industrial environments to become more efficient, cost-effective, and safe. As these technologies continue to evolve and improve, we can expect to see even more collaboration between humans and robots in the future. In this article from MIT Technology Review, the complexities and present-day realities of human-robot collaboration are explored with an eye to what future offerings may enable.
