This robot is playing Tetris! 🧊 AGILOX dropped something exciting at LogiMAT. One of the most requested robot use cases finally automated: Manual truck loading. What I'm really impressed of is the high precision positioning of pallets directly next to the truck or container wall. It's 2026 and I love that fact that AMR companies are not just moving goods from A to B anymore, but they innovate and look for more value-adding tasks across logistics sites and manufacturing plants! ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

Learn the differences between motion profiles! 💨 A real demonstration of engineering skills. In each robotic arm, in each legged robot, you will discover actuators that make the robot move! Let's compare two motion profiles: rectangular and trapezoid. - A rectangular motion profile is like a car with abrupt starts and stops, ideal for situations where speed is crucial. 🚙 - A trapezoid motion profile involves gradual acceleration and deceleration, offering a smoother ride, perfect for scenarios where precision and smoothness are essential, just like handling a pint of beer with care (I love your way of showing the difference! 🍻) P.S. Can you name different applications for these two motion profiles in robotics? ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

Robotics is entering the mainstream! 👀 Let's accept this fact. Consumptionism – stonks. Possibilities (HW + SW) – stonks. Demographics - not stonks. Modern robots are often designed to interact with our legacy world, whether it's a household, a factory, or a shipyard. That means they often need to work with existing machines, tools, and spaces. In short: retrofitting. Improving old machines with new technologies without major interference in their operation. Modern way of integrating things. You don't have to change the entire environment to deploy a robot. The robot will adapt, just as human would when freshly hired. The promise is to have an army of robots to help with the world designed for us. I also believe that general purpose robots, are not a direct competition for single purpose machines (like a highly efficient specialized packaging machine, for example). It's like adding a robot to this carriage. Specialized machine could be a car ;) ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

Brain-controlled exoskeletons to train humanoid robots! 🧠 Fourier just presented human tele-operators using brain control interfaces and exoskeletal arms to train humanoid robots on home tasks. The brain control interface is the interesting part. Instead of using a controller or joystick to teleoperate, the operator's movements and intentions are captured more naturally through the exoskeleton and BCI. This means the demonstrations are more fluid, more human-like, and better suited for training robots to perform delicate home tasks. Multiple tele-operators are simultaneously generating training data across multiple robots. This is how you build the dataset needed for eventual full autonomy, without waiting years for it to arrive. This might be the bridge between "robots that work in controlled environments" and "robots that work in homes." Not full autonomy right away, but trusted human intelligence operating through a robot body, getting better with every task completed. ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

Robots are coming for one of agriculture's most delicate jobs. Picking berries! 🍓 This is Fieldwork Robotics' Fieldworker 1 platform, designed to autonomously harvest raspberries at speeds comparable to human workers. That might sound simple, but berry picking is one of the hardest challenges in agricultural robotics. The robot needs to identify ripe fruit, avoid damaging fragile berries, and operate efficiently in a constantly changing environment. Fieldworker 1 uses custom AI systems and spectral analysis to assess ripeness and is designed so that a single operator can supervise multiple robots in the field. Agriculture continues to face labor shortages across many regions, while growers are under pressure to improve productivity and reduce waste. That's creating a strong demand for automation solutions that can work alongside existing operations. Fieldwork is already running trials with Costa Group, one of Australia's largest fruit growers, and joins a growing group of companies proving that robotic harvesting is moving from research projects into commercial deployments. That's a great market to look out for robotic solutions. ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

Robots moving railcars! 🚃 Did you know that KUKA is also in the mobile robots business? Yes, you heard that right. And not just any robots. Robots that carry up to 56 tons! 🏋🏼 The railcar production process is highly complex, particularly when moving massive cars sideways within a plant. This challenge has been addressed at the Siemens facility in Germany using the OmniMove system from KUKA. The system allows for precise positioning, enabling the units to lift, move, and lower railcars with remarkable accuracy. With Mecanum wheels, the OmniMove units can move seamlessly in any direction, making the process incredibly efficient. Together, these units are capable of lifting up to 56 tons, streamlining heavy railcar production. This one is clearly tele-operated, but just looking at it makes me feel safer when I see a human in the loop.

Open-source dexterous hands with fingertip sensors! 🪬 ORCA Dexterity just released three dexterous hand models. Their mission: is to democratize robotic hand dexterity. They're sharing progress on exceptional, low-cost hardware and a software layer from low-level control to robotic hand learning. This is the open-source approach to dexterous manipulation. It has 83 taxels per finger with 0.1 N force detection which pretty is impressive for an open-source design. Tactile sensing is critical for dexterous manipulation, knowing contact forces enables gentle grasping, slip detection, and force-controlled assembly. Also 700g weight for the lite version makes it practical for mounting on robot arms without exceeding payload limits. Lower weight means faster movements and lower torque requirements. Open hardware accelerates robotics by letting researchers and builders modify designs for their specific needs without starting from scratch! ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →
