Chemical fertilisers increase agricultural yield, but cause massive soil and water pollution. It’s an issue that affects us all and we must find alternative solutions. Robots are already used to assist with livestock farming and crops, but they may also help us move towards a more sustainable agriculture. Here we take a closer look at[…]

In recent years, quadruped robot performance has come on in leaps and bounds, even on difficult terrain. Mobile robots are well-suited to inspection missions, although not natively designed for tasks involving gripping. Engineers working with quadrupeds will often add external peripherals to increase the number of jobs they can perform. Which is exactly what the[…]

A “digital twin” is a virtual replica of an object, process or system. It’s a technology that has already revolutionised many sectors, including in industry, engineering and medicine, and is playing a crucial role in the development of smart cities. It gives access to multiple data in real time, thereby opening the door to continuous[…]

The Génération Robots team recently visited a photovoltaic power station. We were in search of a transport system capable of carrying inverters weighing 80 kg over difficult terrain. A tiring task, undertaken at present by site employees. We chose to test the Bunker Pro mobile robot by Agilex. A heavy-duty UGV with caterpillar tracks for tackling[…]

To make life easier for its employees, SNCF regularly tests robotics solutions already available on the market in addition to customised robotic platforms, to see how they may serve the railway industry. Trains, and the railway network in general, must be constantly monitored and inspected to carry out maintenance tasks and ensure user safety. In[…]

Both efficient and robust, ROBOTIS Dynamixel servo motors are now being used for prototyping in the field of space robotics, in particular by the French national space agency (CNES). The CNES is using them for example to design the Earth prototype of an exploration robot to be sent to Phobos, one of the two moons[…]

Livestock farming: an activity where robotisation makes sense In the livestock industry, scraping manure slurry is a necessary but time-consuming and exhausting task, sometimes required several times a day. There are different ways of doing this: flushing, automatics scrapers (with a chain, cable or rope), tractor equipped with scraper, etc. These methods, used in the[…]

HAW Hamburg (Hamburg University of Applied Sciences) is the third largest university of applied sciences in Germany. It is also where you’ll find the Autosys research laboratory, specialised in developing autonomous systems for use in smart cities. For several years, Génération Robots has been working with Hamburg University, providing the equipment needed for experiments as[…]

  Eva is an affordable solution for automating lightweight (<1.25 kg) pick and place applications, allowing you to avoid bottlenecks, optimise process cycle times and set up additional operational teams without increasing costs. It’s particularly well-suited to highly repetitive processes that don’t require qualified staff. The most common use cases for the Eva robot arm[…]

  Lauenburg/Elbe: a larger-than-life testing environment If you travel to the small town of Lauenburg/Elbe in Germany, there’s a chance you’ll see a quite unique bus travelling through its streets: the TaBuLa shuttle. The bus was created as part of a project managed by the Hamburg University of Technology (TUH) in collaboration with the Duchy[…]
