A system with moving transfer plates! 🍽️ Modular transfer plates that move items in any direction! These systems from Festo give factories something traditional conveyors can’t: fine, reconfigurable motion that adapts as layouts or processes change. Because they can route items in multiple directions, you can run inspections, branch... show more

Simple transfer plate that moves in… two directions. This kind of mechanism can enable flexible 2D movement for boxes or parts without complex robotics. Simple mechanical design. Can move items both X and Y. Easier than full mobile robots in many cases, and useful for storage and sorting systems Sometimes smart mechanics beats complex control.

Just pin it! 🗜️ What a great idea for a gripper and custom-shape machine! Pin fixtures from Matrix are something else 😮‍💨! These tools help robots handle tricky tasks, like working with delicate or oddly shaped parts, by holding and positioning them precisely. They’re easy to set up and can be used in many manufacturing processes. Robotic arms can quickly and accurately grab, move, and work on parts with pin fixtures. This technology speeds up work and reduces mistakes, making production more reliable. Factories can create more advanced, flexible, and efficient systems by combining robots with tools like pin fixtures. P.S. Where would you use it in your factory? ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

That's how parts get inspected! 🪡 The pace is ridiculous. Imagine people still doing this instead of machines. Renishaw’s system is one of the biggest shifts in coordinate-measuring machines (CMMs). Instead of moving the entire machine to capture each point, REVO uses a 5-axis scanning head that collects data through rapid angular motion. Combined with automated probe and stylus changes, the system can handle complex geometries and full surface scans that traditionally required slow, point-by-point probing. ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

What happens when mobile manipulators go on a grid❓ This week Brightpick announced Gridpicker, its new robotic system for high-throughput applications. Combining AI-powered mobile manipulation with a high-density grid design, Gridpicker achieves up to 2x the throughput of shuttle systems at 40% lower cost and using 5x less labor. Most fascinating: The cost of Gridpicker DECREASES as automation increases 🤯 Traditional systems separate storage and picking. If you want more robotic picking, you add expensive robotic cells, more infrastructure, and more complexity. Gridpicker was designed differently: Each robot both retrieves items and picks them. The greater the share of robotically pickable items: The more productive each robot becomes The fewer robots are needed The lower the cost per order That means progress in AI and VLAs directly translate into better system economics over time. Hats off to Jan Zizka that! 👏 ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

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 →

Penny items at a store are items often damaged or discontinued. It signals to the employees that the items need to be removed from the shelves and liquidated or returned to the vendor, however there are people that actively search for these items and buy them up, sometimes it’s ok but often the employees get defensive. If you ring up an item and it comes up at a penny and you buy it, shouldn’t they honor it?

Robo dog that breaks apart! 🛼 That's D1, a modular robo dog that can literally split apart and reassemble. Created by China’s Direct Drive Technology Limited, it is designed for “swarm collaboration,” with a co-architecture that lets multiple units link up in different ways. Its system allows wheel-to-wheel, leg-to-leg, and wheel-leg-to-leg combinations, creating new motion systems on demand. In four-wheel crawl mode it can carry up to 100 kg, while in standing mode it supports 80 kg. Tests show an empty-load range of more than 25 km, with runtimes exceeding five hours in dual wheel-leg mode. Another week, another form factor in robotics. How not to be excited about robotics!? ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

Something must change in robotics! 😖 As more billion-dollar players enter the space, more systems are closing off. APIs move behind paywalls, platforms lock down, and robots turn into black boxes. Pollen Robotics is taking the opposite route. With Reachy 2, everything is open: the code, the CAD files, the ROS 2 interfaces, the communication stack. If you want to swap the camera, redesign the gripper, or fork the whole system, you can, and that’s the point. It creates a culture where universities can run real experiments without licensing drama, and startups can prototype without waiting for vendor permission. Clone it on GitHub. Add behaviors. Share datasets. Fork the models. Push improvements upstream. The Hugging Face influence is real. It’s two open ecosystems aligning around the same idea: robotics should be built by more than a handful of companies. It was so cool to meet the team behind Reachy 2 in Bordeaux! 🔥 ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

You can order In N Outs off the menu items and depending on your area for around $80. Most people don’t know what they’re called or that they even have these “secret” items. Here is a breakdown is what they are.

Robotics doesn't need to be boring! 😴 Just imagine, you're an only child, you have no one to play football with. Then this fella comes in and you can train your dribbling skills as long as you want (or as long as the battery lasts). Anyway, pretty awesome robot for non-industrial use. Robots can be seen as companions! ~~ ♻️ 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. What a great use case for mobile robots! 😮‍💨 ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

Safety in mobile robotics! 👷🏼‍♂️ Robots navigating through crowds is one of the hardest problems in mobile robotics, uncertainty, human motion, and real-time constraints don’t mix well. A team at TU Delft has introduced DRA-MPPI, a new motion-planning method that lets robots move safely through dense pedestrian traffic without freezing or taking overly conservative paths. Instead of assuming people move predictably, the system handles non-Gaussian, uncertain human motion, even cases where someone might suddenly turn or change direction. It uses a fast Monte Carlo approximation to estimate collision probability across hundreds of sampled trajectories in real time. If a trajectory’s risk crosses a threshold, it gets rejected. If not, risk becomes part of the cost function. In testing a Clearpath Jackal navigated real crowds while keeping collision risk under a defined limit, outperforming approaches like Scenario-based MPC and standard MPPI. It’s another step toward robots that behave safely and naturally around people, even when humans don’t behave predictably! 🔥 Here's the project page: ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

This is what open robotics actually looks like! 🔓 I was in Bordeaux, sitting inside Pollen Robotics, and had a chance to play around with their humanoid robot Reachy 2. It’s expressive, modular, and can even bring you coffee, and of course runs Python or Rust. I was talking with Reachy in 3 different languages, tele-operating it and manipulating kitchen stuff, and make it even mimic my gestures. The best part is that there are no locked APIs, or hidden stuff, just an open platform that you can build upon. The connection with Hugging Face makes it super easy to start, as the open source approach allows everyone to contribute, experiment and add their own things. I already ordered his little brother Reachy Mini, let's see what a robotics rookie can do with that robot! 👀 ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

Not all automation needs an arm 🦾I That’s right, AmbiRobotics just released their new product - a palletizing gantry system. It’s called AmbiStack, and at first glance, it looks like a 3D tetris. 🥞 It’s a mechanical system designed to automate the stacking and packing of items in warehouses. The system uses Sim2Real reinforcement learning and advanced AI vision technology to optimize how items are sorted and stacked. Even without prior knowledge of their size, shape, or appearance. 📦 AmbiStack can stack items densely onto pallets or into walled containers, maximizing space and reducing warehouse transportation costs. It is a multipurpose solution that can be used for different applications, such as building pallets for retail distribution or stacking items directly on the floor. The system is highly adaptable, able to handle both single-SKU and mixed-SKU cases, and can stack items in any orientation for maximum flexibility. AmbiStack features multi-pick-and-place capabilities, allowing it to pick and place multiple items at once, significantly improving workflow efficiency. P.S. Yes, I know that gantry is technically a three-axis robot.
