Techman Robot, a leading manufacturer of collaborative robotic arms, rolled out the latest addition to its TM Robot family—the TM AI Cobot S Series, which redefines industrial automation with an advanced feature set and a substantial 25kg payload capacity. The TM25S’s superior reach and built-in smart vision, supplemented by a 3D camera, allows it to excel at tasks that demand precision such as AI-driven mixed case depalletizing. This capability is essential in industries where efficiency and adaptability to varying package sizes and orientations are critical. Notably, the TM25S's integration with NVIDIA's Isaac Sim platform paves the way for creating digital…
Percepto, an industry-leading autonomous inspection and monitoring solutions provider, today announced the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) granted the company a nationwide waiver to operate a full fleet of Percepto drones remotely by one operator. While previous Percepto operations required one pilot to monitor and operate one drone, this new approval allows for commercial operation of up to 30 drones, simultaneously with one pilot, redefining drone automation and remote operations. For heavy industry, namely oil & gas, utilities and other energy stakeholders, this significantly reduces operational expenses and increases operational efficiencies. With this approval, Percepto heavy industry customers can finally implement…

Inceptio Technology, China's leading developer of autonomous driving technologies for heavy-duty trucks, recently held a ceremony to mark the delivery of its first batch of autonomous heavy-duty trucks to Yunyi Transport, an international express logistics company. Yunyi Transport's order for 300 heavy-duty trucks equipped with Inceptio's technology represents the latest step in the large-scale commercialization of autonomous trucks in China. The 63 trucks delivered to Yunyi Transport are “Tianlong” models co-developed by Inceptio and Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle and pre-installed with Inceptio's full-stack autonomous driving system. Trucks will be deployed across Yunyi Transport's nationwide line-haul network. During mass production, the trucks…
While more and more consumers enjoy the convenience of having a robot vacuum their home or take care of the lawn, it is in industrial applications that robotics have made the biggest impact. State-of-the-art manufacturing processes are unthinkable without industrial robots handling part of the workload, whether it’s handling, welding, or assembling, which are the three most common applications of newly installed industrial robots in 2022. Based on data from the International Robotics Federation (IFR), the operational stock of industrial robots has tripled over the past decade, with almost four million robots in use across various industries by the end…
Universal Robots, the Danish manufacturer of collaborative robots (cobots), is expanding its product portfolio with a new 30 kg payload cobot. UR30 is the second in Universal Robot’s new series of innovative, next-generation cobots and is built on the same architecture as the award-winning UR20. Despite its compact size, UR30 offers extraordinary lift and its superior motion control ensures optimized placement of large payloads, allowing it to work at higher speeds and lift heavier loads. This makes UR30 ideal for several applications, including machine tending, material handling, and high torque screw driving. “The unique combination of being shorter and smaller,…
TechBrew Robotics, a startup addressing the labor-intensive challenges of the mushroom industry, announces a significant milestone in its journey: The company is rebranding as 4AG Robotics (pronounced “Forage”) and has secured $17.5 million in equity financing. The transformative financing round is led by BDC Capital’s Industrial Innovation Venture Fund and InBC Investment Corp. (InBC), with participation from Emmertech, Jim Richardson Family Office, Lex Capital, and a series of angel investors from across Canada. The fresh capital infusion is aimed at accelerating the development and deployment of the firm’s cutting-edge solutions for mushroom harvesting. 4AG Robotics stands at the forefront of…
Imagine a four-legged robot that can scavenge through tunnels one thousand feet underground in pitch darkness. Conceived and built by a team of University of Colorado Boulder researchers and students, the robots, initially designed to find survivors in collapsed mines, caves, and damaged buildings, are now being tasked with other challenges. The robots placed third as the top U.S. entry and earned $500,000 in prize money at a Defense Advanced Projects Research Agency Subterranean Challenge competition in 2021. Two years later, the team is pushing the technology even further, earning new research grants to expand the technology and create new…
