A system with moving transfer plates! 🍽️ Modular transfer plates that move items in any direction. These systems from Festo give factories something really cool; reconfigurable motion that adapts as layouts or processes change. Because they can route items in multiple directions, you can run inspections, branch flows based...

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 →

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 →

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 →

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 →

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.

This is not a 2050 warehouse. This is a modern air hub of Amazon. Amazon uses robots to help sort and ship billions of packages each year. At Amazon Air, the company's main air hub in Kentucky, hundreds of self-charging robots zoom across the warehouse floor to organize orders. These robots, called “drives,” follow small stickers on the floor to know where to go and when to speed up or slow down. Amazon has more than ONE MILLION robots in its facilities, and it’s even deploying more new types of robots that can sort items of different shapes and sizes. P.S. Can you guess how many robots they had back in 2013? ~~ ♻️ 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 →

Asmongold warns against treating political opponents as good faith actors "I've said it a million times and I'll say it a million more. These people don't have any values. They just simply have goals." "If you treat them as people with values and you capitulate to having a moral or ethical understanding with them, the only reason they want that is so they can take advantage of you. It's so they can subvert you or use that value against you." "To the extent that you find yourself on the same side as them, you should be asking yourself why. You can never have shared values with these people. If it was up to them, you'd be in jail."

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.

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 →

Really excited sharing the first look at our modular clothing items for #Earth2 🌍✌️ (will be gone in #3hrs) From concept art, to 3D sculpting, high poly, low poly, baking, rigging, skinning, animating + other steps in the pipeline. Only 3,000 will ever be available, #congrats to those who grabbed some! In the future #LimitedEdition drops will be less frequent, especially after #E2V1 releases as we will then move more to randomised time limited drops without limited supply. For example, less limited supply drops and more unlimited drops with items being available X times a month, or year etc. The #LimitedSupply drops we release leading up to #E2V1 are more for those who want something that was an early edition and might be a bit rarer long term. Remember they are only for #aesthetic & #collectible purposes. The modular clothing system we're building means you can own any one of these items and interchange them on a variety of avatars. So it's not like buying a set skin, but items you can mix & match. Perhaps not in #Chapter1, but long term there will be gameplay that allows you to apply clothing alterations such as fabrics, colours and so forth, drastically changing to look of your clothes. Some #Players may even offer tailor services for those who don't have time to alter themselves. I also want to build a system where the #community can submit designs, vote on them & if our design + 3D team approve we can do joint collab releases from time to time. This would be something in the future though, we have other higher priorities to focus on now. Anyway, I just wanted to share a little more insight for those interested & if you want to learn more about how the #blueprint system will work, or just to refresh your memory, be sure to check out: Christmas rolled in here now, just went midnight, so hope you guys have a safe and #MerryChristmas with family and loved ones🙏 #Earth2 #Metaverse #Collectibles #Avatar #Modular

A 40-year-old patent has finally been brought to life. That's the Y-zipper. A 3D-printed three-sided fastener that transitions any object from flexible to rigid and back again. The robotics application is the one that caught my attention. A quadruped robot that adjusts its leg stiffness depending on terrain, switching between rigid and flexible in real time without additional motors or complex mechanical systems. But this goes way beyond robotics. A wrist cast that loosens during the day and stiffens at night. A tent that pops into shape in 90 seconds instead of six minutes. The idea sat in a patent filing for four decades. It took 3D printing to finally make it real. ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

It can print parts for its own tools, pick them up, clean them, and put them together, all by itself. Think of it like a robot that can 3D print a spatula, assemble it, and then use it to flip pancakes. 🥞 Instead of just printing objects, the Functgraph can actually perform physical tasks, like folding laundry or slicing vegetables, by using printed and assembled tools. It’s a step toward the idea of a robot that can download "apps" as physical skills, much like your phone downloads software! 👀 ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

Robots might learn better from video than from language! 📼 Most Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models learn what to do from text, but still struggle with how things move in the real world. That makes them data-hungry and slow to train. mimic video takes a different route. Instead of grounding robot control in text, it grounds it in video, using large pre-trained video models that already capture physical motion and dynamics. The idea is straightforward: let the video model handle “what will happen next,” and let a smaller control model focus only on turning that visual plan into robot actions. The result is big gains in practice. Robots trained this way need 10× less data, converge twice as fast, and perform better on both simulated benchmarks and real bimanual manipulation tasks. If robots can “imagine” motion using video, control becomes a much simpler problem. Shoutout to Jonas Pai, Liam Achenbach, Oier Mees, Elvis Nava and the rest of the team!

These women are getting called out as they walked away from their new BMW by a customer at Target. The woman warns other customers not to give them money as the women tell the children to call her names. The women often beg for money or other items so they can return it for cash. Would you be angry if you fell for this and you see them leave in a $70k car after you spend your last $30 on them?

Magnetic levitation for surgical robots! 🧲 A research team working on minimally invasive surgery just introduced a remote magnetic levitation to move things inside our bodies. Their main goal is to control guidewires and catheters inside the body using magnetic fields. But levitation is unstable and extreme, it forces them to solve fundamental control problems they can't avoid. They have to handle strong magnetic field nonlinearities, develop real-time invertible models, and create control methods that work on any eMNS (electroMagnetic Navigation System) and any object. The real challenge is the position and orientation feedback. You can control a magnet outside the body, but once a catheter or drug-delivery robot is inside a patient, you can't see it. There's no vision, but just magnetic fields and current measurements. That's huge news coming out of ETH Zurich! Here's the paper: Mentioned all authors on Li, but coulnd't find them here! ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

But levitation is unstable and extreme, it forces them to solve fundamental control problems they can't avoid. They have to handle strong magnetic field nonlinearities, develop real-time invertible models, and create control methods that work on any eMNS (electroMagnetic Navigation System) and any object. The real challenge is the position and orientation feedback. You can control a magnet outside the body, but once a catheter or drug-delivery robot is inside a patient, you can't see it. There's no vision, but just magnetic fields and current measurements. That's huge news coming out of ETH Zurich! Here's the paper: Mentioned all authors on Li, but coulnd't find them here! ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

July 27 2025 11:36am Location 24th & Mission When Items get stolen from Target Walgreens and Macy’s and any other stores, are if you’re car was broken into, in the luggage was stolen, then those items would end up at one of these outposts, that barter in stolen goods. You have one Media outlet in San Francisco named (Mission Local) that promotes this as a Swap Meet they fail to call it for what it is, a place where you can buy stolen goods at. All this is being driven by the drug crisis. Because someone that’s drug addicted would steal the items and sale it for cheap to buy more drugs.
