How High-Precision Reducers Drive the Development of Intelligent Manufacturing Technology
Laser navigation requires the steering wheel to accurately turn to the commanded angle. The near-zero backlash characteristic of harmonic reducers ensures that the angle rotated by the steering motor is transmitted to the tire without any loss, avoiding "backlash error."
Humanoids - Safety Standards for the Next Wave of Robots
Today's safety concerns generally boil down to physical component and perception issues. If a robot is in a rugged environment, hardware components degrade and can lead to dangerous malfunctions.
Q&A with Uncrewed & Autonomous Systems 2025
The agenda covers a wide range of critical themes. Sessions will examine the operational integration of uncrewed systems, with case studies on how UAS and UGVs are being deployed in real-world missions. Another focus is on AI, autonomy, and the digital backbone
Mission-Critical Automation: Ensuring Uninterrupted Operations Through Robust Power Management
Seamless power management requires careful planning and leveraging many technologies and techniques for oversight. What does this involve, and what does each strategy contribute to improving a facility's energy use?
Linear Actuators vs Rotary Actuators: The Core Choice for Humanoid Robot Joints
The robot joint module is the core hardware of humanoid robots, currently mainly divided into two major categories: rotary and linear. In humanoid robot designs, the choice often involves trade-offs based on the application scenario and manufacturing cost.
How to Improve Warehouse Picking Speed with Automation

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.

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.
