MIT researchers developed an algorithm that can automatically select the best shortcuts for a robot to take on its way to a destination that will reduce the overall travel time while limiting the likelihood that the robot will meet an impassable obstacle. Image: Jose-Luis Olivares, MIT; iStock
If a robot traveling to a destination has just two possible paths, it only needs to compare the routes’ travel time and probability of success.
How Robots Are Transforming Manufacturing Processes
Gone are the days of manual labor and repetitive tasks. Nowadays, robots are taking over these responsibilities, leaving human workers to focus on complex problem-solving and innovation.
Top Considerations for Compliance Management Tools
Implementing an automated compliance management solution is a mammoth undertaking with high stakes and potentially high returns for those who navigate the process successfully.
