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.

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 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.

Spatial Intelligence for Next-Generation Indoor Navigation

Powered by our proprietary geomagnetic engine and our hardware suite, ION combines high-precision positioning with accurate tracking of assets and people. That's what allows people, assets, and autonomous systems to interact with space reliably.

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.

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.

Stefa Mini Solutions for Next-Generation Robotic Applications

The Stefa Mini, Cassette and Nano Seals all have smaller cross sections than comparable seals in the market today. This matters because a smaller seal allows for smaller glands (the area the seal slips into on the equipment) and smaller glands mean overall smaller equipment.

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.

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.

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 - 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.

StackTrax - The Industry's First Off-The-Shelf Dual Axis RTU

Compared to alternative solutions, such as multiple robots or overhead gantry systems, StackTrax can provide a space and cost-saving alternative that will improve cycle time and overall throughput.

Sonair's ADAR 3D Ultrasonic Sensor

ADAR stands out by combining full-3D sensing via ultra-sound, strong safety credentials, cost efficiency and ease of integration. This is enabling robots to safely work in closer proximity to people and in tougher environments than many existing solutions.

Moving Construction from Digital Design to Physical Reality

What made Hexagon the right partner was their deep expertise in precision measurement and their willingness to collaborate on adapting their metrology solutions for the demanding conditions of construction sites.

US Digital's New L2 Low Profile Motor Encoder

US Digital's New L2 Low Profile Motor Encoder

The L2 incremental encoder uses US Digital's proven EM1 optical encoder module and disk, which has billions of device-hours of dependable service in customer applications. This product continues US Digital's strong reputation for reliable, field-tested encoders. The L2 is US Digital's lowest height encoder that uses the EM1 module. It has a 0.75 in. bolt-spacing mount. The maximum resolution is 1250 CPR (5000 PPR with quadrature). The L2 comes with a single-ended output. Another benefit of the L2 incremental encoder is its fast installation. The cover snaps onto the base to secure the module. It is designed for use with a high-retention connector or cable (sold separately). Like all US Digital products, the L2 is designed and manufactured in Vancouver, Washington, USA. It is backed by prompt access to our technical and customer service teams with same-day shipping on most orders.
