NEC Corporation has launched new technology for AI robot control. This tech ensures safe and smooth movement in busy places like warehouses, factories, and stores. Demonstrations showed that robots with this system cut travel time by up to 50%. This change greatly boosted operational efficiency.
NEC’s proprietary AI uses knowledge from several AI systems. It creates the best paths in real time. NEC’s approach is different from traditional navigation methods. Instead of sticking to fixed rules or needing a lot of calculations, it lets robots create and assess many routes at once. This ensures safety and efficiency, even in crowded or uneven spaces where traditional systems fail.
