A revolution in robotic usage
A new generation of robots is emerging – robots capable of travelling and working autonomously. Whether it’s planning their mission, learning from past experience, responding to challenges as they occur, or working as part of a team – they have the intelligence to deliver real change.
Cogniteam is at the cutting edge of this Industrial Revolution.
Applications
Demand for autonomous robots is growing exponentially, for a wide variety of applications:
Through Nimbus, we provide a complete library of software solutions for autonomous robots in all of these sectors and environments.
Benefits of autonomous robots
Unlike their predecessors, autonomous robots don’t rely on precisely defined instructions or physical guidance (such as wires in the ground) to fulfill their tasks. This ability to do their own planning, to work as a team and to respond to ‘matters arising’ makes them suitable for a much wider variety of situations. Autonomous robots can also learn from past experience, to deliver huge productivity improvements.
As humans, we set and manage the robot’s mission. We tell our robots what needs to be achieved, but we don’t dictate the detail. The robots use their navigational and decision-making capabilities to fulfill the mission in the best possible way.
These decision-making intelligence and navigational algorithms are available through Cogniteam’s Nimbus platform.
4. Communicate
The sensors on Robot A identify that one area of the mall is particularly dirty and alerts the other robots. They then re-plan their mission collectively and in real-time to allow for extra cleaning of that area. Robot A spends more time there, while Robots B and C cover Robot A’s other tasks.
5. Decision making
As the following clean, the same area is again dirtier than others. The robots learn that they should allocate more resource to that area as the base case in their future missions.
6. Self learning
In time they connect with Big Data and map their experience against weather, local sporting events and retailer promotions. They learn that the use of the mall changes with external drivers, pre-emptively planning their mission resources for optimum outcome.
