Designing Trust: Interfaces for Autonomous Machines
As autonomy moves from research labs into real-world environments, the role of design is shifting. It's no longer just about usability — it's about trust, safety, and human-machine collaboration.
Challenges in Drone Technology
Drone technology continues to advance depending on specific applications. For this article, we'll be looking at compact drones used in a variety of applications that need continuous and autonomous inspection of chimneys, shafts, and tanks.
ATEC2026 Launches as the "Turing Test" for Embodied AI, Challenging Robots to Survive the Real World
Unlike traditional competitions limited to indoor or scripted tasks, ATEC2026 evaluates whether robots can autonomously complete long-horizon, continuous complex tasks in open, dynamic, and unstructured real-world environments.
How a Melexis Collaboration is Working to Develop the Touch-Enabled Robots of the Future
The convergence of feedback mechanisms, like tactile sensors, and smart and adaptive control systems, is an interdisciplinary challenge requiring extensive collaboration among electronic hardware, software, embedded systems, mechanical robotics, and mechatronics experts.
How advanced automation is shaping the future of medical device production
Here, Nigel Smith, CEO of TM Robotics, explains why harnessing the power of robotics-led injection moulding could significantly enhance the production of medical devices.
How Drone-Based Construction Progress Monitoring Is Driving Smarter Industrial Workflows
The ultimate goal of drone-based monitoring is transparency. When everyone—from the site foreman to the remote investor—looks at the same high-resolution digital twin, the "guesswork" of construction vanishes.
From Forklifts to Laser Guided Vehicles — The Operational Shift in High-Volume Manufacturing
Forklifts are highly flexible, but they're also dependent on operator skill, shift conditions, fatigue, and congestion. LGVs introduce repeatability into material flow, which is something manufacturing systems desperately need as volumes rise and tolerances tighten.
The Rationale for Persistent Infrastructure Identity in Manufacturing and Robotics
Cobots share workspace with human operators under carefully engineered safety boundaries. Every one of these systems was specified, integrated, commissioned, and validated against a detailed record. Within a few ownership cycles, most of that record is effectively gone.
UniX AI introduces Panther, the world's first service humanoid robot to enter real household deployment, powered by its differentiated wheeled dual-arm architecture
The all-new wheeled dual-arm humanoid robot Panther is fitted with the world's first mass-produced 8-DoF bionic arms, an adaptive intelligent gripper on its high-DOF joint platform and features an omnidirectional four-wheel steering and four-wheel drive (4WS+4WD) chassis.
KNF Introduces Intelligent Pump Features for Flow, Pressure and Vacuum Control and Versatile Dosing
The pumps can operate autonomously or can be controlled via analog signals such as control voltage. For use in complex systems, the pumps also support modern communication protocols like UART, enabling seamless integration into smart environments.
Revolutionizing Cheese Production with AI and Machine Vision: A Success Story from Eberle Automatische Systeme
The food industry is experiencing a transformative shift in quality control, due in part to advances in artificial intelligence (AI). When combined with rule-based machine vision, AI is enabling automation of processes that were previously impossible.
The Biggest Impact of Autonomous Capture and AI
Autonomous capture will quickly become table stakes. The important question will be which platform can orchestrate robots and agents together in a unified, automated and intelligent way to create the most value.
Advantages of Pre-assembled Conveyor Modules
Ultimately, pre-assembly supports tighter project schedules and helps integrators deliver consistent results across geographically distributed deployments.
When Machines Learn to See Like Experts: The Rise of Vision Language Models in Manufacturing
VLMs will not resolve every challenge in manufacturing AI. But for quality assurance in high-complexity production environments, they offer a capability step-change that no other current technology matches.
ANYmal deployed at Northern Lights CCS Facility
The robot will provide autonomous inspection capabilities to monitor CO2 concentration levels and to reduce the number of unnecessary callouts to the not-normally manned facility.

Featured Product
TM Robotics - Shibaura Machine THE SCARA range
The THE range from Shibaura Machine is an extensive line up of SCARA robots. Available in four arm lengths THE400 (400mm), THE600 (600mm) and the most recent THE800 (800mm) and THE1000 (1000mm), this range is suitable for assembly, handling, inspection and pick and place processes in varied industrial applications. The THE1000 boasts a 20kg payload capacity and an impressive 0.44 second cycle time, providing high speeds for processes with large components. In fact, the range has been recognised for as the price-to-performance leader compared to other SCARA models in its price range due to its impressive speed versus payload capacity.
