What Is the Difference between Wi-Fi and Industrial Wireless Networks?

Traditional wireless technologies like Wi-Fi, while great in consumer environments, often fall short of meeting the stringent requirements of industrial settings and specific factory automation applications and machine deployments.

Private 5G Connectivity and AI Technologies Accelerate the Transformation From Automation to Autonomy

This article looks at private 5G (known as P5G) and how it supports advanced and emerging technologies, including AI cameras, enabling manufacturers to drive more functionality closer to the edge.

Envisioning the 6G Future

If we're learning anything from 5G implementations, it's that the demand for connectivity is increasing at an exponential rate as wireless communication is becoming more and more essential to our daily lives.

Readers Choice 2020: Using Mesh Network Applications for Robotics

Many companies make mesh network products for home Wi-Fi systems. Those are indeed valid and popular applications, but there are ample opportunities to use mesh networks for robotics, too.

Qualcomm Launches World's First 5G and AI-Enabled Robotics Platform

Boston Dynamics Webinar - Why Humanoids Are the Future of Manufacturing

Boston Dynamics Webinar - Why Humanoids Are the Future of Manufacturing

Join us November 18th for this Webinar as we reflect on what we've learned by observing factory floors, and why we've grown convinced that chasing generalization in manipulation—both in hardware and behavior—isn't just interesting, but necessary. We'll discuss AI research threads we're exploring at Boston Dynamics to push this mission forward, and highlight opportunities our field should collectively invest more in to turn the humanoid vision, and the reinvention of manufacturing, into a practical, economically viable product.
