A Vietnamese technology company has introduced the VR-H3 humanoid robot, positioning advanced perception and manipulation as key features for industrial use.

A new Robot Report podcast featuring Yamaha Robotics Group’s Chris Elston underscores a practical trend in factory automation: robots are becoming easier to deploy by fitting more naturally into PLC-driven environments.

A new industry webinar highlights a persistent automation problem: robot tracks and seventh-axis systems often fail early when contamination, moisture, heat, and abrasive debris are treated as afterthoughts.

ABB Robotics has introduced a new collaborative robot family aimed at closing the gap between light-duty cobots and conventional industrial robots, with higher payloads, faster motion and simplified pr

Siemens has introduced the Eigen Engineering Agent, an AI system designed to plan and validate automation engineering tasks in operational environments using multi-step reasoning and self-correction.

A long-running partnership between Ericsson and Epiroc is positioning private cellular networks as the backbone for more automated, connected mining operations underground and in open-pit sites.

Ouster has released the Stereolabs ZED X Nano, a wrist-mounted camera aimed at robotic wrists and end-of-arm tooling where space constraints are critical.

A new report frames Hyundai Motor Group’s strategy around robotics and systems that can act in the real world, highlighting the growing industrial focus on physical AI.

Unitree Robotics filed for a $610M IPO after posting $248M in revenue and 674% profit growth in 2025 — but 50-70% of enterprise humanoid revenue still comes from reception and tour-guide duties.

UK-based Oxa has closed a Series D funding round to scale its configurable autonomous driving software platform, which can be deployed across more than 20 different industrial vehicle types for ports, airports, and manufacturing facilities.

After decades of conventional automation, manufacturers are adopting physical AI—systems that perceive, reason, and act in physical environments—as the next leap in factory productivity, driven by labor constraints and rising operational complexity.

Executives from Agility Robotics, Boston Dynamics, and ASTM International are convening to discuss standards, safety, and the commercial future of humanoid robots.

From permanent-magnet brushless servomotors dominating six-axis industrial arms to axial-flux configurations enabling lightweight surgical systems, motor technology is driving both specialization and convergence across the robotics industry. Understanding these design choices reveals where the field is heading next.

Trener Robotics' Acteris platform lets operators program industrial robots by describing tasks in plain language, now backed by $38M in total funding and 15+ integration partners.
