KUKA México to Celebrate 30th Anniversary in 2026
Established in 1996, KUKA México continues to respond to the needs of the region with enhanced industrial automation along with technical expertise. The company's first major project was with Volkswagen for the Jetta A3 and the new Beetle model, where the first set of KUKA México robots was installed. The project marked the beginning of a new chapter for Mexican manufacturing and opened the doors for new industrial opportunities within the region.
Predictions for 2026: what's next for robotics
From humanoids and Robots-as-a-Service to nearshoring and lights-out operations, here are my top predictions for what is coming next in 2026.
ABB Robotics leads global effort to standardize measurement of industrial robot energy consumption
• ABB Robotics is leading the development of an International Standardization Organization (ISO) Technical Specification, alongside 11 other countries, to measure the energy consumption and efficiency of an industrial robot
• The new method will promote transparency, allow end users to make more informed decisions, and support the robotics industry to track and reduce the carbon footprint related to robot electricity usage
Robotiq Launches Tactile Fingertips for 2F Grippers, Bringing the Sense of Touch to Physical AI
Combining adaptive gripping with high-frequency tactile sensing enables robots to generalize across objects, tasks and environments without the cost and complexity of anthropomorphic hands.
Kollmorgen advances linear motor safety and performance with SafeMotion™ Monitor firmware upgrade
Integrated into AKD2G servo drives and the Kollmorgen 2G Motion System, SMM 3.0 continues to work with all motors that feature any HIPERFACE DSL® rotary-safe feedback system. It also allows the AKD2G drive to now support EnDat 2.2 safe feedback systems to better serve the growing demand for high-performance safety solutions in precision motion control.

New Data Reveals Why Manufacturers Can't Compete for Robotics Talent: A 2x Salary Gap
"The data reveals that manufacturing's hiring challenge isn't about finding qualified engineers. It's about competing with industries paying twice as much," said James Dam, founder of CareersInRobotics.com. The disparity is industry-wide, affecting every sector of the robotics market.
KPI Growth has an enemy called "Recurrence" - Fight it with Standard Work to Sustain the Growth.
Continuous Improvement is often misunderstood as an engine for solving more problems. In reality, the defining capability of a mature operation is ensuring the same problems never return.
Mouser Drives Electronic Design Excellence with Motor Control Resource Hub for Engineers
Advanced motor control seeks to precisely regulate a motor's speed, torque, and position. These innovations are critical for next-generation mobility and electric vehicle (EV) systems, strengthening both efficiency and driving range.
IDS introduces a voluntary 3-year manufacturer's warranty across all industrial camera series
Maximum security and long-term investment protection for machine vision projects
PI Introduces Miniaturized Alignment Engine Platform for Scalable, Parallel E/O Wafer-Level Test
Parallel piezo aligners with fly height sensors enable faster PIC wafer testing.
igus 238 chainflex® cables certified for use in dry cleanrooms
In lithium-ion battery manufacturing, production purity is critical. Dust, particles, and moisture can compromise quality and shorten product life. Dry cleanrooms—where relative humidity is typically below one percent or just a few ppm—protect sensitive materials like electrolytes from chemical reactions. However, many machine components fail under such harsh conditions.
Event in Dallas, Targeting Manufacturing Labor Shortages Facing North Texas
The free, in-person event is designed for manufacturers in sectors such as metal fabrication, CNC machining, electronics, aerospace, food & beverage, and industrial equipment manufacturing — industries that form the backbone of the DFW manufacturing economy and are among the hardest hit by ongoing labor shortages.
