Robotics and Automation White Papers

e-con Systems worked with a leading mining technology provider to develop a rugged, multi-camera surround view system for large off-road vehicles. We deployed high-resolution cameras integrated with a high-performance Sony sensor and came with features like 15-meter cable support, IP67-rated enclosures, customized ISP tuning and more.

One of the key factors for innovation in intralogistics has always been the application of bar codes. In this white paper, we highlight typical challenges in bar code reading and demonstrate how these can be addressed with the help of innovative image processing libraries that can already be purchased today.

Facilities managers are expected to balance competing demands: keeping equipment running, ensuring safety and compliance, and controlling costs, all while being asked to do more with fewer resources. Traditional monitoring methods often leave blind spots that can lead to costly downtime, missed compliance requirements, or safety incidents. This webinar will show how Spot, Boston Dynamics’ agile mobile robot, is helping facilities teams close those gaps. Spot can autonomously patrol complex environments, capture thermal, acoustic, and visual data, and feed that information into existing systems like CMMS and ERP. By taking on routine rounds, Spot gives managers more accurate data, helps anticipate issues before they happen, and allows teams to focus on higher-value tasks.

Whether you are a defense leader, tactical decision-maker, or operator, learn how a strong network fabric and mobile robots can help you enhance situational awareness, ensure communications resiliency, and future-proof your units.

Join us 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.

Humanoid.guide today released a 160-page market report mapping the state of humanoid robotics for 2025/2026. Built from a practitioner's table of contents, spanning insights from Boston Dynamics' longtime CTO on core technologies and unit economics to the U.S.–China context, supply chains, embodied AI, application surveys, and the open-source landscape - the report gives analysts, founders, robot buyers, integrators, and investors a clear view of what's real, what's missing, and what comes next.

Our new white paper, Optimized Components Expand Humanoid Robot Motion Possibilities, explores some of the basic concepts and characteristics specifiers need to know about linear motion guides and crossed roller bearings, and details the considerations you need to sort through to specify the right motion component and optimize it for success in its intended work.
