Seegrid Corp. has unveiled robotic vision-guided technology into the material handling industry. The company is making plans to enter into a rapid growth period to meet the demands of its OEM partners and its ever-growing, material handling client base.
Seegrid recently appointed a new Director of Quality; and also partnered with Raymond Corp. and Linde Material Handling, the two global leading industrial truck manufacturers having the top two market share positions in the industry. The appointment was a part of the strategy for partnership and necessary progression.
In order to introduce the Robotic Industrial Trucks, Seegrid’s team of leading robotic scientists, engineers, programmers and logistics practitioners worldwide worked together for more than thirty years for innovation and research. The new product has revolutionized the movement of materials in manufacturing and distribution environments.
With the help of Seegrid’s technology, industrial vehicles can now work un-manned, automated pallet trucks and tow tractors that operate without the need for wire, tape, laser or other costly automated guided vehicle (AGV) guidance systems. The solutions optimize workflow processes by increasing productivity and reducing costs, creating economic and operational advantages.
Hans Moravec, Ph D, chief scientist and co-founder of Seegrid, is a former Research Professor and Director of the Mobile Robot Lab at the Robotics Institute of Carnegie Mellon University. He has received various funding for his academic work by numerous government agencies. He is the author of two books, “Mind Children: The Future of Robot and Human Intelligence” and “Robot: Mere Machine to Transcendent Mind”, that explore the implications of evolving robot intelligence.
Seegrid was recently in the news when it announced its partnership with Cisco (News 
- Alert)-Eagle, Inc., a materials handling solutions provider. Seegrid and Cisco-Eagle are excited to bring robotic industrial truck solutions to Cisco-Eagle customers.
