Just pin it! ๐Ÿ—œ๏ธ What a great idea for a gripper and custom-shape machine! Pin fixtures from Matrix are something else ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ! These tools help robots handle tricky tasks, like working with delicate or oddly shaped parts, by holding and positioning them precisely. Theyโ€™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? ~~ โ™ป๏ธ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news โ†’

Robots with tentacles! ๐Ÿ™ SpiRobs are soft robots inspired by nature, designed in the shape of a logarithmic spiral. They mimic the flexible movements of octopus arms and elephant trunks to grasp objects. ๐Ÿ˜ SpiRobs use simple cables to move, making them easy to control and operate. They can scale from small to large sizes, ranging from centimeters to meters. The robots can adapt to different object shapes, improving their grasping ability. A mini version can act as a tiny gripper, while a large version can be mounted on drones. Interestingly, multiple robots can work together to wrap around and hold large objects. That's just out of this world! ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ ~~ โ™ป๏ธ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news โ†’

Fit-to-size packaging is getting smarter! ๐Ÿ“ฆ Sparck Technologies is using 3D scanning to measure each order and automatically create the best-fitting box So no oversized packaging, no wasted space, or at least less! The system scans the items, builds a custom box, and packs the order automatically. Less waste, lower shipping volume, and fewer air-filled boxes going out the door. eCommerce is growing constantly for years, as we order more from the internet, so it's important to optimize packaging. ~~ โ™ป๏ธ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news โ†’

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 โ€œdrives,โ€ 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 itโ€™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? ~~ โ™ป๏ธ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news โ†’

Robotics is entering the mainstream! ๐Ÿ‘€ Let's accept this fact. Consumptionism โ€“ stonks. Possibilities (HW + SW) โ€“ 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 ;) ~~ โ™ป๏ธ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news โ†’

Robot simulation is getting a big upgrade! ๐Ÿ”ฅ Normally, building a simulation environment, a kitchen, warehouse, office takes days or weeks. You have to model the geometry, add textures, set lighting, generate collision meshesโ€ฆ all before a robot can even interact with it. Marble by World Labs removes most of that work. You type a text prompt or give it an image, and it generates a full 3D scene with depth, lighting, and a collider mesh you can export into engines like MuJoCo. That means researchers can quickly create lots of different environments to train robots on, which is exactly what domain randomization needs. If we want robots to learn faster, we need to create worlds faster. ~~ โ™ป๏ธ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news โ†’

A system with moving transfer plates! ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ 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 on sensor data, or perform operations directly on the moving parts. It could even power fully automated storage: shelves that reposition items based on real-time demand. I'd love to see more of them in 3PL centers.

There's a surprising amount of science behind the packaging your order arrives in.

They determine what size, what material, and whether it even needs added packaging at all. The result: protecting products with less waste, one package at a time. Take a look at how it works. โฌ‡๏ธ

This is what open robotics actually looks like! ๐Ÿ”“ I was in Bordeaux, sitting inside Pollen Robotics, and had a chance to play around with their humanoid robot Reachy 2. Itโ€™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! ๐Ÿ‘€ ~~ โ™ป๏ธ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news โ†’

Gravity-defying robot! ๐ŸฆŽ VertiGo is a wall-climbing robot created by Disney Research and ETH Zรผrich 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.

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.
