Dublin, Jan. 19, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Collaborative Robots, 2020" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. Conventional manufacturing setups have been exposed to traditional industrial robots over the years that have gained widespread adoption globally. However, there is a growing demand for worker safety in factory settings, increasing need of manufacturing industries to match market demands and a burgeoning requirement for businesses to remain competitive, which have laid the foundation for the adoption of modern manufacturing methods such as collaborative robots. Collaborative robot solution manufacturers are leveraging the convergence of several enabling technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine vision, and advanced gripping technologies in robots making them safe to work with thereby disrupting traditional robotic solutions as well expanding robotic use cases to laboratories, healthcare, semiconductor wafer handling, and assembly. Also, collaborative robots solutions have provided manufacturing flexibility in terms of being able to quickly adapt to line changeovers and newer tasks owing to easy programming and manual guiding training techniques making them immediately deployable.User comfort is the need of the hour laying the foundation for advancements in robotics. Cobot advancements are leading to increased user safety, reduced strain on humans, and lesser effort required from human labor. In the development of collaborative robot solutions, there are several influencing factors to be considered, which will in turn aid in the disruption of current technologies that are indeed cumbersome to use. It is critical to ensure the right balance between technology advancements, expansion of product portfolios to increase application diversity, and strategies to innovate for example: collaborating with universities to develop more user-friendly and easy to maneuver robots as well as in the development of lighter robots. The publisher's analysis indicates that despite being able to cater to a variety of industrial applications, collaborative robots technology is yet to reach small and mid-sized industries, which are just beginning to explore automation. The fourth industrial revolution can be realized to its full potential with the awareness created about cobots through effective marketing and by adopting robots-for-hire which are easy-to-afford business models that will expand the reach of the technology. Major collaborative robot arm manufacturers are focusing on expanding their global footprints through traditional business models such as direct sales through distribution centers while few are tying up with robot rental third-party solution providers. However, the new age autonomous cobot providers are leaning toward the robots-as-a-service model, which have proven to be favorable in providing a far-reaching impact of the technology within a short span.

An undercover police officer says he first heard a Toronto-area constable might be selling steroids about a month after he started investigating the man. The undercover officer, who cannot be identified under a publication ban, testified earlier this week he was assigned to look into Const. Richard Senior in June 2018. Back before a virtual court today, he says a supervisor mentioned the possible involvement of steroids in late July The undercover officer says he was arranging to work out with Senior on a regular basis to "continue to build rapport" and started making inquiries about steroids. At the same time, the undercover officer says he began to engage in "suspicious behaviour" to suggest he also may be involved in criminal activity. Senior, a veteran of the York Regional Police, has pleaded not guilty to 14 charges, including breach of trust and trafficking cocaine and steroids, in connection with a corruption investigation. He was arrested in October 2018 and initially charged with 30 offences, but the remaining 16 charges were withdrawn as the trial began. Prosecutors allege Senior planned to rob a fictitious drug warehouse after hearing about it from a second undercover officer posing as an informant, and offered to sell the drugs to two men he knew. They also allege he sold steroids to the undercover officer who is currently testifying and another officer; stole money he was given to pay informants; and inappropriately accessed a police database and disclosed confidential information.

Stardust Book The Stardust Book Frédéric Zaavy and Rose Frédéric Zaavy and Rose NEW YORK, Jan. 19, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- First monograph dedicated to renowned Parisian artist-jeweler Frédéric Zaavy launches January 2021 Concept, photography and production by John Bigelow Taylor and Dianne Dubler (Kubaba Bespoke Books). Taylor and Dubler have created photography for over 300 books focusing on works of art, architecture, jewellery, and antiquities.Text by French philosophical writer Gilles HertzogPublished by Officina Libraria, Milan The first monograph dedicated to Parisian artist-jeweler Frédéric Zaavy will launch in January 2021. Stardust: The Work and Life of Jeweler Extraordinaire Frédéric Zaavy presents a portrait of an artist who strived to paint the beauty of the universe in precious stones. Zaavy considered himself heir to the legacy of Jean-Baptiste Tavernier, gem dealer to Louis XIV, and was chosen as the exclusive jeweler for the 21st century revival of Fabergé. Inspired by nature, quantum physics, philosophy, art, music, and literature, his poetic sensibility saw him create daringly intricate pieces with hundreds or thousands of tiny gems that came together like pointillist objets d’art. The photographers John Bigelow Taylor and Dianne Dubler, whose work has graced the pages of over 300 books focusing on works of art, architecture, jewellery and antiquities, have created the stunning visual narrative for the monograph. Featuring a text by acclaimed French writer Gilles Hertzog, Stardust unveils the exquisite artistry and fluctuating fortunes of a master jeweler whose life was cut too short. Evocatively framed by his imminent mortality, the book gathers together accounts of Zaavy from his closest allies, both personal and professional, without eschewing the darkest moments of his adventurous and precarious career. Taylor and Dubler’s visual narrative shines a light on Zaavy’s work, weaving in images of his creative inspiration, atelier and domestic settings among images that are the result of a painstaking photographic process to immortalise the jeweler’s creations. MEMORIES OF ZAAVY John Bigelow Taylor and Dianne Dubler, photographers and friends of Zaavy, have said: “Stardust is the origin of all matter in the universe, including the diamonds Frédéric 'painted' with and loved so much. He was fascinated that, in addition to their beauty, diamonds resonated deep time. However, he was undaunted by time and space, which he deemed to be inconsequential. He thought of time in eons and knew his moment here would never be enough. Months before he died, he said to us, 'I am already dead,' but then carried on as if he would live forever! He often acknowledged that he had been here before and would someday return.” – from ‘Epilogue’, Stardust, p. 205. Floréal Ercilla, lead jeweler at Zaavy’s Parisian atelier: “Nowhere else had I ever had the same freedom, and I learned things that had never been done before—by me or anybody else. The further he went, the further he let us go, too [...] We were four jewelers, a wax-model maker and four setters. We made unique pieces, crazy fantasies, ultra-complicated pieces that required hundreds of hours of work or even more. That didn’t exist in any workshop anywhere in the world. Zaavy was a pure dreamer; trade didn’t count. We made a cuff bracelet called Les Nymphéas (water lilies), inspired by Monet. All of the stones were six-tenths, which is very small, but because of the play of color and light you had the impression that they were three millimeters. That’s a feat; that takes genius.” – from ‘The Five Musketeers’, Stardust, p. 31. BIOGRAPHIES Frédéric Zaavy (b. 1964, Paris) was the third generation of a family of diamond merchants. After a classic French education in which he studied at several art schools including the École des Arts Appliqués and the École des Beaux Arts, he decided not to enter the family business and instead, at the age of 20, began travelling the world. Time spent in East Africa, South East Asia, New York, Tel Aviv, Antwerp and Bangkok saw Zaavy learn and develop his trade in precious stones and diamonds. In 1994 he began creating one-of-a-kind jewellery pieces, working with his partner Lisa Chen with whom he founded the Daring Enterprise Co. In 2000, he established his first atelier and in the following years defined new standards of craftsmanship in the world of jewellery making. Following a 2007 exhibition of his work at Phillips de Pury & Company in New York, in 2008 he became the exclusive jeweler for luxury firm Fabergé allowing him to open a larger atelier near Place Vendôme. There were 100 pieces in the brand’s relaunch collection, following which Zaavy continued to work on his own pieces. In 2010, with the knowledge that his life would be taken from cancer, he began actively working with John Bigelow Taylor and Dianne Dubler to create Stardust. John Bigelow Taylor and Dianne Dubler are New York-based still life photographers, specialising in jewellery, architecture, works of art and antiquities. Working with the world’s foremost collectors, museums and publishers, they have created photography for over 300 books, such as Madeleine Albright: Read My Pins: Stories From a Diplomat's Jewel Box (2009); Elizabeth Taylor: My Love Affair with Jewelry (2003); Inspired Jewelry: From the Collection of The Museum of Arts and Design, Faking It by Kenneth J. Lane, Judith Leiber: The Artful Handbag, The Splendor of Ethnic Jewelry and A Token of Elegance: Cigarette Holders in Vogue.
