The top 5 most read articles online, from Oct. 26 to Nov. 1, 2020, for Plant Engineering covered interchangeable masks, edge I/O, heated face masks, mini-brains for robots and collaborative robot optimization. Links to each article below.
1. Frame created for interchangeable mask
A team of Texas A&M students bonded together to create the EASYMASK, which is designed to provide a reusable and inexpensive face mask for the general population.
2. Edge I/O brings more connectivity to field devices and sensors
Latest remote I/O combines IIoT communication with even more processing power than traditional intelligent I/O.
3. Heated face mask designed to filter and inactivate coronaviruses
The reusable mask includes a heated copper mesh powered by a battery and surrounded by insulating neoprene, which could help health care professionals and in other situations where social distancing is difficult.
4. Mini-brains developed to help robots recognize pain and to self-repair
Scientists have developed a way for robots to have the artificial intelligence (AI) to recognize pain and to self-repair when damaged.
5. Collaborative robot optimization with AI, for safer manufacturing during COVID-19
Collaborative robots use artificial intelligence (AI) to increase usefulness in dynamically changing workspaces. Cobot factory applications can create more space between workers, lowering COVID-19 risk for manufacturers while increasing throughput.
