First Autonomous Mobile Robots Roll Off the Line at Rockwell Automation's Milwaukee Headquarters
he milestone marks a significant step for OTTO by Rockwell Automation, part of the company's 2023 acquisition of Clearpath Robotics, and reinforces Rockwell's commitment to advancing smart manufacturing through automation.
Rugged electric actuators provide reliable steering for extensible, self-driving platform
Whether OxDrive's next application is in agritech, construction, forestry, warehouse logistics or any other untapped use, chances are good that it will need a reliable actuator. And when it does, Horton will likely continue specifying Thomson linear motion solutions.
PILLARS OF TOMORROW - A hopeful vision of Government, Technology, and Human Dignity in harmony
For centuries, visions of the future have been dominated by dystopian warnings—cautionary tales of power gone wrong. Five Pillars of Tomorrow offers an alternative: a governance model where transparency, collective wisdom, and advanced AI safeguard human dignity.
Flexibility vs. Predictability in Mobile Automation: What Facilities Should Really Be Considering
There's a common misconception that AGVs are outdated while AMRs are cutting-edge. In
reality, both have evolved considerably in recent years, and modern mobile robots increasingly blur the lines between the two.
From Code to Context: How Spatial AI is Powering the Next Leap in Manufacturing
The goal is to leverage the precision and tireless nature of automation while keeping human ingenuity, judgment, and creativity at the core of the operation. This vision promises greater flexibility, higher quality, and improved safety.
Robot Hype vs. Real Risk: Is Your Business Truly Ready for Autonomous Food Delivery?
The core tension is clear: excitement must yield to scrutiny. This post moves businesses past the novelty of robot adoption and into the necessary preparation phase of risk mitigation and compliance review. It's time to build a solid foundation before the next bot rolls out.
The SPT-1500UL from SEER Robotics
What truly sets the SPT-1500UL apart is its patented E-type fork structure, which allows seamless compatibility with a wide variety of pallet types - including open pallets (nine-feet, stringer-style), as well as closed pallets, cages, and customized racks.
Using generative AI to diversify virtual training grounds for robots
New tool from MIT CSAIL creates realistic virtual kitchens and living rooms where simulated robots can interact with models of real-world objects, scaling up training data for robot foundation models.
Improving AGV efficiencies with updated battery technologies
AGV-powered sectors like eCommerce and pharmaceuticals have set the pace for electric adoption, cutting emissions while streamlining operations. Yet, legacy batteries, whether lead-acid's sluggish charging or Li-ion's trade-offs in speed, cost, or size, limit progress.
SwarmFarm Raises $30M AUD to Untether Farm Productivity from Machine Size
By designing autonomy from the ground up — not as a bolt-on feature, but as a fully integrated platform — SwarmFarm gives farmers the ability to scale productivity without scaling machine size.
Beyond the Humanoid Hype: Why Collaborative Mobile Robots Are the Real Factory Floor Revolution
Collaborative mobile robots are already delivering measurable results for companies across a variety of industries, and they're fulfilling promises that the sci-fi-esque robots can only dream of one day tackling.
The Real Barrier to Trusting Robots? It Comes Down to Control
We're still a long way from the harmonious human-machine collaboration imagined in Isaac Asimov's stories. Getting there will require autonomous systems to perform reliably and safely, not just in controlled lab settings, but in messy, unpredictable real-world environments.
More Washing Machines, Fewer Robot Housekeepers
What the field needs is not more capital or bigger promises, but better frameworks for evaluating ideas and guiding innovation. If we can measure opportunities against these structures, robotics can finally move from flashy demonstrations to truly transformative technologies
Game Changer in Logistics
Key work steps are being taken over by intelligent logistics robots, such as automatic storage and retrieval machines and driverless transport systems. To work efficiently and reliably around the clock, these robots need flexible and particularly compact drive solutions.
From Centralized Brains to Edge Intelligence: Rethinking Compute Architectures for Autonomous Mobile Robots
Today's AMRs are navigating unpredictable warehouse aisles, adapting to real-time sensor feedback, and running machine learning inference on the fly - meaning developers can ill afford inefficient systems.

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.
