Designing Human-Centric Automation: The Next Evolution of Robotics in the Supply Chain

In this new era of human-centric automation, robotics and intelligent systems are being designed to elevate the supply chain, creating supply chains that are not only faster and more resilient but also safer, more inclusive, and deeply human.

Precision Measurement Technology Combined With Autonomous Robots

By combining our manufacturing-grade measurement systems with Dusty's robotics expertise, we created a solution that delivers 10× faster layouts and sub-millimeter accuracy, reshaping what's possible on construction sites.

UBTECH Humanoid Robot Walker S2 Begins Mass Production and Delivery, with Orders Exceeding 800 Million Yuan

By establishing a closed-loop commercial cycle—from technology and real-world application to delivery and iterative improvement—UBTECH has developed core capabilities to rapidly address market demands and efficiently secure and fulfill orders

How High-Precision Reducers Drive the Development of Intelligent Manufacturing Technology

Laser navigation requires the steering wheel to accurately turn to the commanded angle. The near-zero backlash characteristic of harmonic reducers ensures that the angle rotated by the steering motor is transmitted to the tire without any loss, avoiding "backlash error."

Humanoids - Safety Standards for the Next Wave of Robots

Today's safety concerns generally boil down to physical component and perception issues. If a robot is in a rugged environment, hardware components degrade and can lead to dangerous malfunctions.

Linear Actuators vs Rotary Actuators: The Core Choice for Humanoid Robot Joints

The robot joint module is the core hardware of humanoid robots, currently mainly divided into two major categories: rotary and linear. In humanoid robot designs, the choice often involves trade-offs based on the application scenario and manufacturing cost.

How to Improve Warehouse Picking Speed with Automation

In warehousing, distribution, and e-commerce fulfillment centers, operational and customer success relies on fast and accurate fulfillment, but achieving and maintaining this service level can be challenging.

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.
