The development of humanoid robots is progressing for both industrial and non-industrial applications. However, many current projects are initially focused on factories, warehouses, and other production spaces.
Wayve, Uber, and Nissan have announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding to collaborate on the development of robotaxis and begin the necessary activities to deploy these services. The companies will begin preparations for a pilot deployment in Tokyo in late 2026, introducing the Nissan LEAF equipped with the Wayve AI Driver system, available to users through the Uber platform.
Achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 and improving competitiveness by reducing production costs is the dual objective set by the aerospace industry. This goal is currently hampered by its reliance on heavy, expensive, and inflexible machinery in manufacturing processes. To address this situation, the IDEKO technology center has contributed to the development of a new generation of flexible, sensor-equipped, and connected robotic cells within the framework of the ROBOCOMP project.
OMRON Robotics and Safety Technologies has expanded its TM S series of collaborative robots with three new models and a major software update, helping manufacturers address labor shortages and the growing demand for flexible and highly varied production.
The International Federation of Robotics has published a new document: What are the trends, opportunities and possible limitations of humanoids?
Humanoids are considered the next big thing in robotics: China, the world's largest market for industrial robots, has set specific targets for its mass production plans for humanoids.
OMRON has launched the OL-450S, a low-profile, omnidirectional autonomous mobile robot (AMR) designed to optimize workflows and improve safety in material handling. Equipped with an integrated lifting plate, advanced navigation, and centralized fleet management,
The Eurecat technology center has presented the DismantBot project, which addresses the robotization of the process of dismantling tower computers, with the aim of contributing to the safe and efficient management of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE).
The Eurecat technology center, within the framework of the European Free4Lib project, has developed a demonstrator of a collaborative robotics solution for the dismantling and advanced recycling of electric vehicle batteries, with the aim of improving the efficiency and safety of the process, reducing operating costs, ensuring the extraction of valuable materials from the batteries and minimizing their environmental impact.
The OmniCore platform represents a radical shift towards a future-proof, modular control architecture that will enable the full integration of AI systems, sensors, cloud, and edge computing to create the most advanced and autonomous robotic applications.
Alisys has just announced the completion of the INSPECT4.0 project. This is a pioneering initiative in the development of next-generation robotic technologies for inspection and monitoring in industrial environments.
“Industrial inspection tasks require agility in working across different locations in complex spaces with various fixed and moving obstacles. The goal is to perform tasks such as taking measurements, visualizing components, and detecting defects in an environment with a high degree of uncertainty,” the company explains.
Knightscope, a public safety technology company, specializes in combining robotics, autonomous driving technology, vehicle electrification, and artificial intelligence. It was the first in the world to deploy fully autonomous mobile security robots (ASRs) in public spaces such as shopping malls, parking lots, and parks.
Before a robot can pick up dishes from a shelf to set the table, it must ensure that its gripper and arm won't collide with anything and potentially break the fine china. As part of its motion planning process, a robot typically runs "safety check" algorithms that verify its path is collision-free.
However, these algorithms sometimes generate false positives, claiming a trajectory is safe when in reality the robot would collide with something. Other methods that can avoid false positives are often too slow for real-world robots.
