Robots in Hazardous Areas: What the Certificate Register Shows, and What to Settle Before You Specify One
This article looks at where those areas tend to be, what the international register of certified robots actually contains, and the five questions a plant should settle before a robot goes in.
Before the First Cobot Arrives: Seven IT Questions for the Small Shop Buying One
The seven questions below take about an hour with your integrator before the cell ships. They are much harder to answer after it is bolted to the floor and making parts.
Sizing AMR Charging Fleets: Why Availability Is Decided at the Charging Point, Not in the Battery
This article walks through how AMR charging actually works and offers a practical way to size the charging side of a fleet before you commit to a layout.
With precision and clear vision: robots work autonomously in wire harness manufacturing
Thanks to its intuitive user guidance, MERLIC enables users to get started quickly with developing a machine vision application without requiring in-depth knowledge of programming or image processing. "For innovative companies such as Cellios, time to market is crucial.
From Cable Clutter to Smarter Robot Integration

For plant teams, the central consideration is straightforward: connectivity should support the robot not only when it is installed, but throughout the years it spends moving, communicating, and producing on the factory floor.
When Robots Learn to See: RaaS and Spatial AI Reach the Factory Floor

Standardized hardware, automatic tool changing, unified software, software-defined adaptability and operator-friendly controls can simplify integration while supporting faster production changes.
IMTS 2026 - Powering Manufacturing's Next Leap
With U.S. manufacturing orders, output, and productivity rising, IMTS 2026 gives manufacturers a firsthand look at the industrial AI, automation, additive, and digital technologies reshaping production. Check out our Special Coverage of this years event.
Consumer platform or industrial patrol robot? How to read a quadruped spec sheet
Quadruped robots have converged on a single silhouette. Watch three promotional videos back to back and you will see the same four legs, the same confident trot across gravel, the same recovery after a shove.
How Most Manufacturers Are Adopting Agentic AI Without A Governance Plan
Most coverage of this research treats the gap as evidence that governance is behind schedule. Fewer accounts explain what closing it actually requires once the AI in question is not summarizing a report but deciding whether a robot should act on what it just detected.
What Robotics and Automation Investment Can't Fix If Your Data Is Still Manual
Plants keep adding automation and robotics without fixing the underlying data foundation. Here's why that gap quietly caps the ROI on every new investment.
Automation and Robotics Will Not Solve Your Workforce Problem. They Will Move It.
While there is real innovation happening, the driver of productivity growth for the near term does not lie in automation. It lies in training and upskilling and it will become an even bigger bottleneck for manufacturers across the automotive and machine-building industries.
What It Really Takes to Integrate AGVs into a Busy Hospital
Here AGV system specialists, Aerocom, take a look at what it takes to integrate AGVs successfully into hospitals by looking at the planning, the importance of staff buy-in, and the benefits and constraints of this essential technology.
Hybrid robot skin combines EIT location maps with pneumatic force sensing
The prototype uses a rigid base, four soft air-tight pads, a continuous piezoresistive layer, and 32 boundary electrodes. Its parts were produced through 3D printing and spray coating.
Charging Is the AMR Decision Nobody Models Until It's Too Late: How to Get Fleet Charging Right Before It Costs You
.jpg)
Charging strategy, battery chemistry, and the electrical infrastructure behind them quietly determine whether a fleet delivers the throughput it promised or stalls when demand is highest.
