Seat assembling robots! 💺 This robot from KUKA performs an incredibly technology-heavy process. 🦺 It assembles the seats in the car. And it's so hard? Well, when the car moves along with the production line, things get more complicated. The robot also moves on a special additional axis, so...

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 →

I spy with my little eye! 👁️ The BBC came up with a wheeled robot disguised as elephant dung to film wildlife up close. The robot rolled alongside a group of elephants, allowing it to roll quietly alongside the animals without spooking them. It's 2026 and we have bots pretending to be elephant poop to shoot content! 💩 ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

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 →

This robot can juggle! 🤹🏼‍♀️ A great engineering showcase as a part of a master's thesis at the Brno University of Technology! CableEndy is a cable-driven parallel robot project at the B&R Industrial Automation Brno office. The robot was created most probably to make all professional Kendama players feel insecure :) Guess the year btw! ~~ ♻️ 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 →

Smart mapping for robots exploring huge areas! 🗺️ This is called Rolling-Bonxai. When a drone or ground robot maps a massive area, say a whole city or massive warehouse, storing the entire map in memory gets expensive fast. You run out of RAM. This solution is simple, only keep the nearby map in memory. As the robot moves, old chunks save to disk and new chunks load. Like how video games only render what's close to the player. The system divides the map into chunks (imagine a 3D grid of boxes). As the robot explores, it keeps chunks around it loaded in memory. Chunks it's moving away from get saved to disk. When it comes back, they load again. Check the GH repo here 👉🏼 ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

Six arms instead of two! 🤯 Midea Group humanoid robot has six arms instead of two. It handles heavy components with lower limbs and performs fine assembly work with upper limbs. Full 360-degree rotation, stable vertical lifting, rapid tool-swapping. The robot handles workstation transitions that would typically require multiple human workers or separate machines. So no idle-time between stations. Pretty cool. But I'm really curious about the cost, and how this 6-arms robot compares to a regular robot arm, and then to a regular humanoid What do yo think? Overcomplicated? ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

China is crazy. 🤯 Forget a classical grippers, and welcome to era of humanoid acting as EOATs. Someone thinking about the gripper, actually said: you know what, let's just stick half a humanoid in there and that'll solve the problem. Humanoid torso from LimX Dynamics mounted on a 6-axis industrial robot arm wasn't on my 2026 bingo, but I'll take it. ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

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 →

A robot that will bend metal for you! 🤘🏼 This is what optimized robotic press brake operation looks like. A well-tuned program, an additional seventh axis for extended reach, smart gripper design, and a workpiece reversal mechanism to handle parts without human intervention. This combination is invaluable for automated press brake operation. Cycle time is on fire! 🔥 KUKA robots are a solid choice for metal forming. They're built for high-payload, high-precision tasks and have a strong track record in automotive and heavy industry applications where reliability matters the most! :) ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

Robots from Humanoid passed real factory test at Siemens! 😮‍💨 Humanoid from the UK just completed a successful proof of concept with Siemens, deploying their HMND 01 wheeled humanoid robot in a real working factory. The task was simple but important: pick totes from a storage stack, transport them to a conveyor, and place them at the pickup point for human operators. Repeat until the stack is empty. The robot achieved 60 tote moves per hour, handled two different tote sizes, ran autonomously for more than 30 minutes at a time, stayed operational for over eight hours, and maintained over 90% success rate on pick and place tasks. This matters because it's not a demo video. It's a real deployment in Siemens' Electronics Factory in Erlangen, handling actual production work, measured against real operational metrics. The test ran in two phases. First, Humanoid built a physical twin in-house to test and optimize the system. Then they deployed on-site at Siemens for two weeks, where the robot operated in the real production environment. We can see a wheeled humanoid robot in action! So, now the ultimate question: wheels or legs? 👀 ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

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.
