Avoiding "Vendor Lock-In'' with Warehouse Robotics
If companies don't choose wisely relative to robotic software, they can significantly limit their future robot options, and/or significantly add to the cost of future projects.
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.
Semiconductor Innovations for the Next Generation of Robots
Each motor requires high power density and precise control, all packed into a small form factor. TI's technology reduces the size of the board by integrating FETs, drivers and current sensing into one package.
Why Robots Are About to Change Everything AND WHY NOW
The convergence of AI breakthroughs and robotics is creating a moment for which the field has been waiting decades.
Fully Autonomous Deliveries inside Multi-floor Buildings without Elevator APIs
Once a robot can move between floors without any changes to existing building infrastructure, operators get immediate ROI by freeing staff from repetitive delivery work while improving speed and convenience for residents and guests.
Facility Maintenance: Lavo Bot AI and NVIDIA Bring Autonomy to Exterior Surface Cleaning
Equipped with advanced mapping, multi-sensor vision and zone-based safety, the system navigates real-job sites with confidence—handling up to 6,000 sq ft/hour and supporting pressure-wash rigs up to 12 GPM and 4,500 PSI.
The ifm Obstacle Detection System (ODS)
The ifm Obstacle Detection System (ODS) optimizes the robot's overall performance by treating obstacle detection as a holistic system rather than just a camera. It provides reliable obstacle detection to protect people, equipment, and mobile robots.
Physical AI and Autonomy in the Construction Industry
Bedrock is taking advantage of the dramatic accessibility of GPUs and frameworks for scaled data access and training, combining it with our unique understanding of how to build and create autonomy solutions quickly and efficiently.
International robotic safety conference 2025: Key takeaways shaping the future of safe automation
The International Robotic Safety Conference highlighted how rapidly the safety environment is evolving, driven by new standards that reflect innovative robotics technologies and tightening global regulations.
How to Overcome Cobot Design Challenges
Although collaborative robots have become widely available and used in numerous industries, the professionals who design them frequently encounter and must overcome various challenges in cobot design. How should designers address them?
The Future of Autonomous and Wireless Charging
The real driver of change has been the need to reduce manual intervention and lower operational costs. When a robot can charge itself safely and autonomously, maintenance downtime drops dramatically, and so does total cost of ownership.
European researchers developed energy-efficient machine vision inspired by human eyesight and the brain
This enables, for instance, intelligent robots and drones that can operate independently in a rescue mission after an earthquake without constant network connections or bulky batteries.
2025 Top Article - ANYbotics ANYmal robot is addressing key challenges in Industrial Robotics
The ANYmal robot addresses key challenges in industrial operations by offering autonomous, highly mobile inspection capabilities in complex and hazardous environments. Its four-legged design enables navigation through uneven terrains, stairs, and confined spaces.
2025 Top Article - Redefining industries with robotics and AI
While robotics have been a staple in the automotive manufacturing industry for decades, the applications have now spread far beyond, reshaping industries from agriculture to healthcare and service industries.
2025 Top Article - Purpose-Built, Specialized Robots are the Future
Wheeled robots like ours are more efficient for the same reason cycling is more efficient than running, which includes less of a fight with gravity. The efficiency, as well as the sheer complexity of humanoid robots adds up to something that may be very much higher cost.
