The Deep-Learning Depalletizing Robot

The Deep-Learning Depalletizing Robot – To the bottom of a pallet, and beyond

Pick is the world’s first deep-learning based solution designed for robotic depalletizing – specifically the depalletizing of multi-SKU and single SKU pallets. The Pick System is easy to configure using a browser-based GUI, minimizing integration time. It integrates high resolution 3D and 2D sensing to locate a wide variety of boxes and interleaves motion and vision, maximizing pick rates.

Mobile Box Handling Robots for Logistics

Mobile Box Handling Robots for Logistics

Handle combines agility and the ability to pick boxes to tackle box handling tasks in the warehouse.

Handle is a robot that uses legs and wheels to provide highly agile and small-footprint material handling solutions for logistics. Using an active counterbalancing system, Handle can pick up and move cases weighing over 30lbs. Its versatile design allows it to tackle pallet building, depalletizing and truck unloading tasks in the warehouse – all in one robot.

Handle’s design combines the same dynamics, balance and mobile manipulation characteristics of quadruped or humanoid robots, but in a significantly simplified system. The combination of power and agility make Handle capable of automating difficult manipulation tasks in human-sized environments without the need for installing complicated additional equipment.

The New Science of Curiosity

The New Science of Curiosity by Nova Science Publishers

“Human curiosity and its contribution to art, science, and discovery have long been a subject of study. Drawing on findings from robotics, neuroscience, human development, and computation, as well as case studies of curiosity in educational, professional, medical, and cultural settings, this edited book provides a wealth of new findings and a renewed sense of excitement about this classic topic.” – Paul L. Harris, Graduate School of Education, Harvard University.

“A fabulous book of leading researchers from the top scientific minds exploring something we are all curious about – curiosity. Gordon has brought together some of the most influential scientists in the world, shedding light on the multi-faceted nature of our innate drive to learn and its role in human development, science, and even art. It is an important text for those hoping to catch up on the most recent science of curiosity, and a must-read for anyone wondering about why we wonder.” – Elizabeth Bonawitz [Assistant Professor Psychology, Rutgers University – Newark

“A timely and critical journey into the advancement of curiosity, from the neuroscience to the support from technologies and the impact on society.” – Bo Stjerne Thomsen, Global Head of Research, the LEGO Foundation.

The audience of this book by Nova Publishers are educators, artists, and scientists of all fields that want to catch up with new advancements in curiosity research. It can also be approachable to lay people interested in popular science and multidisciplinary thinking.

Keywords: Curiosity, Neuroscience, Computational models, Robots, Game Design, Education.

The author of this book has a BMSc, MSc in physics, and MBA from Tel Aviv University, Israel. In addition, he has one Ph.D. in chemical physics on dynamical quantum decoherence control and another Ph.D. in neurobiology on mathematical models of curiosity, both from the Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel. He was a postdoc at the Personal Robots Group in the Media Lab, MIT, researching how curious robots interact with curious children, where he also obtained a teaching certificate. He now heads the Curiosity Lab at Tel-Aviv University, Israel.

Product Name Shouldn’t Exceed 70 Characters

Your Product Name Should Not Exceed 70 Characters

What’s the problem with a product name over 70 characters?

Search Engines such as Google, Bing, Yahoo, and others. We know that some of your items have long titles. You can submit titles with up to 150 characters. Still, because Search Engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo, and many others can only display up to 70 characters on shopping ads, we strongly encourage you to submit titles with 70 or fewer characters whenever possible.

Why should you fix this?

Major Search Engines like Google need to shorten product titles when there is limited space such as mobile devices. It is important to use short titles that contain relevant product information to get an idea of what the advertised product is about and what differentiates it from other products.

How can you fix this?

We recommend putting distinctive product attributes at the beginning of the title for all the reasons above. For example, ‘Nexus 7 tablet in black with 32GB of storage’ becomes ‘Nexus 7 tablet, 32GB, black’. In addition, technical specifications are essential for electronics, whereas brand, color, and fabric are more critical for apparel items. This helps the user understand what this product is, even if the title is truncated.

How can I find out how many characters are in the product title?

Copy and paste the product title into a Microsoft Word document. Then, click the REVIEW tab from the top menu, highlight the title entirely, and click the ABC123 Word Count icon on the top left.

Use rich content for your products.

Ensure you use a good description on your products page and some information on user applications.

Analysis and Control

Analysis and Control of the Chaotic Behavior in a Multi-Cell DC/DC Buck Converter by Nova Science Publishers

Nova Publishers (i.e., Nova Science Publishers) publishes several books yearly on information technology, electronics, robotics, and other technology fields. One such book is “Analysis and Control of the Chaotic Behavior in a Multi-Cell DC/DC Buck Converter,” published in 2018. This book by Karama Koubaâand, published by Nova Publishers, is written for researchers in chaos control, power electronics, and automatic control and industrial people interested in power electronics, especially multi-cell converters.

Regarding the author, Karama Koubaâ received her degree in Electrical Engineering and then her Masters’s in Automation and Control from the National Engineering School of Sfax, respectively, in 2008 and 2009. She obtained her Ph.D. in the Control of Power Electrical Systems and the Analysis of their Chaotic Behavior from the University of Sfax in 2013.

Product Images for Search Engines

SEO for WordPress eBook

Optimizing Your Product Images for Search Engines

Product images can make or break your online shop’s success. You can have a great product, but when images are good, sales will be right. Your product image is the first thing a customer will look for. These are the essential features of a product page when shopping online:

  • Quality of the product images
  • View products in all available colors
  • Alternate views of the selected item
  • Ability to zoom into the details of the product
  • Product guides

Choose the correct filename.

Image SEO starts with the correct file name. Of course, this is the first location to use that keyword. Without looking at the image, you want Google or any other Search Engine to know what the image is about. It is simple: if your image is a sunrise in Paris showing the Notre Dame, the file name should not be DSC4536.jpg but notre-dame-paris-sunrise.jpg. The main keyword would be Notre Dame, the photo’s main subject.

Your product images play a significant role, reflecting the meaning of your technology, vision, business, and hard work. Your product images should be a minimum 1024px in height, or 1024px wide, up to 2048px by 2048px, or 4.2 megapixels. Higher resolution photos will look more polished and professional to customers, or  1024px by 1024px as a guideline for square product images.

Quality of your product images

It seems so obvious to use high-quality images. Do not use a small, blurred, faded, or fuzzy image. People are visual beings, so they will judge your product based on its photo and content regardless of how fantastic it is! The sale is only possible if the product image reflects your product and its details well enough.

A product image with good size, high resolution, and correct file name e.g., notre-dame-paris-sunrise.jpg. Ranks better for the keyword it is optimized for.
