The robot is used to inspect the walls of ships. 🚢 The Magnet Crawler introduced by the University of Bremen is a lightweight and compact climbing robot for magnetic surfaces. The robot has two magnetic wheels driven by geared motors and an elastic tail to improve stability. In the front part of the robot, there is a miniature wireless camera. The robot is remotely teleoperated & the video signal from the camera is displayed to the operator on a portable screen. Let's wait and perhaps the robot will become more autonomous over time. Big fan of robots that make the world a safer place for humans. ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

A fully electric autonomous tractor that lifts 4 tons, pulls 8 tons, runs 24 hours, and you can repair it in the middle of a field. This is Voltrac. 🦾 Made in Europe 🇪🇺 How would you design a futuristic autonomous tractor? Voltrac threw out everything and started from scratch. 70% fewer parts. One motor per wheel. Hot-swap batteries. Backwards compatible with any attachment a farmer already owns. Voltrac is more than a tractor, it’s the brain of the farm. One operator supervises multiple tractors across multiple farms. Every drive analyzes the crops, catches disease early, cuts fertilizer costs. And the same hitch that connects to farm tools connects to demining gear and resupply payloads for the front line. Disclaimer: I'm an early investor, because this is exactly what Europe needs. Europe had 70 million farmers in 2020. Projected 7 million by 2030. Our population keeps growing. Everyone still wants to eat. Somebody has to solve this. They build in Valencia, not China. Because the talent, the precision manufacturing, and the know-how are all here. We just forget how good we are. If we don't build this, someone in China will and sell it to European farmers. 🇪🇺🔥 Full Video on YT!

This robot explores the world like a mouse! 🐁 That's an OG project, guess the year ;) A mouse-inspired bot called WhiskEye travels the world with 24 artificial whiskers and spiking neurons that mimic a nervous system. Recognizing familiar places is essential for engineering applications like robot navigation, where interactions with the real world are key. Combining information from multiple senses helps to make better accuracy and robustness, but challenges like mismatched data and sensor errors complicate this process. Inspired by how animals navigate seamlessly, researchers developed predictive coding, a self-supervised learning method based on the brain's visual cortex model. It combines visual and tactile cues from a robot, outperforming existing methods in recognizing places, even when some sensors fail. What a great project from BristolRoboticsLab and Sheffield Robotics! ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

TerraNova CEO Laurence Allen on how his tank-sized robots quietly lift entire cities out of flood zones without demolishing anything: "Our robots are about the weirdest robots you've heard of. They're the size of a car. They look like a tank. They're basically a giant pump on tracks." "You have this big injection pump, and you park it right next to a well you've drilled to 30 to 60 feet. That pump is fed by a big lay-flat hose that runs from a parking lot 1,000 feet away with a slurry of wood." "What you get is you can very rapidly provide a ton of volume underground. You use that volume to lift land at acre scale, city scale. It's the first way you can lift land from the subsurface." "It's very similar to what you'd see with autonomous excavator robots, except you're lifting all the infrastructure and everything currently in place, instead of demolishing it, filling it, and rebuilding it."

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 →

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 →

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 →

Unloading trucks with robots! 📦 Bastian Solutions has developed a mobile robot system that automates high-volume, floor-level unloading of trailers. Let's have a closer look at how it actually works! The robot seamlessly drives itself in and out of trailers and docks without any fixed infrastructure. This system picks up cases via an extendable conveyor, lifts them using a retractable mast, and accurately places them inside the trailer using a dedicated gripper. In the video you can see the reversed process, unloading of a truck. 🚛 It's guided by LiDAR-based navigation and an omnidirectional base, enabling fast, precise, and infrastructure-free operation. Integrates smoothly with existing systems like conveyors, scanners, sorters, and depalletizers. Every time I see a robot loading and unloading a truck, I'm like: we are getting there :) ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

Gravity-defying robot! 🦎 VertiGo is a wall-climbing robot created by Disney Research and ETH Zürich that can transition between ground and wall. The robot can move on a wall quickly and with agility. VertiGo has four wheels, two tiltable propellers, and two tiltable propellers. One pair of wheels is steerable, and each propeller has two degrees of freedom for adjusting the direction of thrust. The choice of two propellers rather than one enables a floor-to-wall transition, thrust is applied both towards the wall using the rear propeller and in an upward direction using the front propeller, resulting in a flip onto the wall. P.S. Can you guess the year of development? 👀 ~~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

ELON: AGI IS LIKELY TO EMERGE FROM OUR AUTONOMOUS CARS AND HUMANOIDS “We're not actually specifically focused on AGI. I'm simply saying that AGI seems likely to be an emergent property of what we're doing, because we're creating all these autonomous cars and autonomous humanoids that are actually a truly gigantic data stream that's coming in and being processed. It's by far the most amount of real-world data, and data you can't get by just searching the Internet, because you have to be out there in the world and interacting with people and interacting with the roads. Earth is a big place, and reality is messy and complicated. If you've got tens or hundreds of millions of autonomous vehicles and maybe even a comparable number of humanoids, maybe more than that, on the humanoid front, well, that's just the most amount of data. And if that video is being processed, it just seems likely that the cars will definitely get way better than human drivers, and the humanoid robots will become increasingly indistinguishable from humans, perhaps. And so then, like you said, you have this emergent property of AGI.” Source: Tesla AI Day, September 2022

NEWS: Aurora’s driverless trucks can now run longer than humans drivers are legally allowed. The company said the latest software update to its driverless hardware suite will enable its trucks to drive nonstop from Phoenix to Fort Worth. That trip is roughly 1,000 miles long and takes 15 hours to complete. By contrast, a human driver would legally have to take a 30 minute break after 11 hours of driving. The company currently has five autonomous trucks carrying cargo without safety monitors between Dallas, Houston, Fort Worth and El Paso, Texas. By the end of 2026, the startup expects to have over 200 driverless trucks in operation. Their trucks use lidar, radar, and cameras. via InsideEVs

A brand new quadruped on the market! 🐾 Unitree just launched their new quadruped robot. They called it a human companion. So what's inside? 90 Nm torque handles climbing and challenging terrain. 4+ hours runtime covers full shifts without recharging. IP54 rating works in rain and dust. 15 kg payload fits inspection equipment and sensors, and 13 km range. Open secondary development is critical for faster adoption. It's great to see another quadruped that is available for wider public. Couldn't find pricing information though. ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

Brembo’s Sensify Braking System is now in series production on vehicles from a major undisclosed global automaker. Sensify is a software controlled, fluid-free brake-by-wire system developed by Brembo. It uses no brake fluid. Instead, it uses electric actuators at each wheel, AI-driven software, and a pedal simulator to deliver customizable and precise braking without hydraulic fluid or a traditional master cylinder. Each wheel has its own motor that squeezes the pads onto the rotors (with redundant windings for safety). Advantages of Sensify: • Independent electric braking at each wheel with AI for shorter stops and maximum grip. • Seamless integration with ADAS and autonomous driving systems. • Eliminates brake fluid, removing maintenance, leaks, and environmental issues. • Zero brake drag via full pad retraction, improving EV range and reduced wear. • Fully customizable pedal feel and response through software for any driving mode. • Faster than hydraulic ABS with better stability in low-grip scenarios. I wonder which car it’s going on. Brembo said annual production volumes with the manufacturer are expected to reach hundreds of thousands.

Simulation-first approach to robotic production lines! 👾 At Hannover Messe, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and SoftServe are demonstrating a fully autonomous, AI-powered manufacturing workflow. Design a product using generative AI, then watch it move through the entire process: engraving, inspection, and delivery, handled by a mix of robots working together powered by physical AI on AWS. The interesting part is how the system is built. Getting robots into production is usually where things fall apart. SoftServe takes a simulation-first approach using AWS. They build and test the entire system virtually: robot behavior, production flow, before deploying anything physically. This enables faster iteration, safe edge case testing, and significantly reduced sim-to-real gap. Their demo includes AMRs handling transport, cobots doing precise manipulation, AI-driven quality inspection, and humanoid interaction at the end. All connected through a unified, software-defined layer powered by AWS. It's about building a system where robots can adapt, coordinate, and scale without rebuilding everything from scratch every time. ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

"Farm murders are a very serious problem in South Africa. The response to that is to say, 'Well, there are many problems in South Africa, so why are you pointing to this one?' But the fact of the matter is that it's a very unique problem, and it's a problem that could only be prevented or combated by a unique counter strategy. And there are a few things that make the farm murders unique. One is the extreme frequency at which it's happening - just the sheer numbers - thousands of people having been murdered on farms, many of them tortured. In many of those cases, nothing is stolen. They just come in, they torture the farmers for several hours, and then they leave. …The second is the brutality, the high levels of torture that we see. And any torture method you can imagine has been employed in these farm attacks. And it's the most grotesque torture you could think of in many of these cases. …The third is the unique economic impact, because farmers are skilled people, they are employers, they provide food for the country. So, it would have disastrous consequences for the nation at large, and it already has. The fourth is just the fact that farmers live in unique circumstances. They live far away from police stations, far away from their neighbors, oftentimes on dirt roads. Oftentimes there’s bad cell phone signals. So, that alone says that you need a unique counter strategy to fix this, even though the South African government doesn't want to recognize this. But then on top of this, what makes the farm murders exceptionally unique is that it's a very serious crime phenomenon that is also actively encouraged by politicians." - Ernst Roets

So, that alone says that you need a unique counter strategy to fix this, even though the South African government doesn't want to recognize this. But then on top of this, what makes the farm murders exceptionally unique is that it's a very serious crime phenomenon that is also actively encouraged by politicians." - Ernst Roets

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 →
