Embodied AI leader recently demonstrated how Palladyne™ IQ software enables KUKA robots to “think more like humans” at KUKA Robotics’ North American System Partners conference

Palladyne AI Corp. (NASDAQ: PDYN and PDYNW) ("Palladyne AI"), a developer of artificial intelligence software for robotic platforms in the defense and commercial sectors, recently participated in KUKA Connexions, KUKA Robotics' North American System Partners conference, which took place from July 21-23, 2025, in Palm Beach, Florida.

KUKA Connexions is an annual summit hosted by KUKA Robotics focusing on collaboration, bringing together current and prospective KUKA System Partners to network, be recognized and awarded for their successes, and learn about the newest technology from KUKA.

During the event, Palladyne AI demonstrated its Palladyneâ„¢ IQ software platform enabling KUKA robots to autonomously perform machine tending operations, such as managing small batch parts with precision, monitoring cycles, and coordinating material flow. Palladyne IQ is an embodied artificial intelligence software platform that allows industrial robots and cobots to have human-like reasoning capabilities, making them smarter and better equipped to handle jobs that have historically been too complex to automate. Palladyne IQ is designed to enable low-/no-code training for robotic systems: robust training and ML happen on the edge, which supports faster deployment without costly programming resources needed by traditional automated systems. Its edge computing capabilities facilitate autonomous decision-making without needing a connection to the cloud, making Palladyne IQ ideal for deployed and remote operations where network access may be limited.

"We are honored to have been selected to participate in KUKA Connexions and had a great experience showcasing our technology at the conference these past few days," said Ben Wolff, President and CEO, Palladyne AI. "As a KUKA technology partner and platform-agnostic AI software provider, we've had the opportunity to demonstrate the effectiveness of our Palladyne IQ platform performing on KUKA's industrial robotic hardware and look forward to continuing and strengthening our partnership going forward."

"Palladyne AI delivers a unique AI software platform that makes it easy to deploy autonomy," said Ed Volcic, Chief Technology Officer, North America, KUKA. "From mixed bin picking to machine tending, their low code / no code software platform applies AI to address challenging automation tasks. We look forward to deepening the partnership with Palladyne AI."

About Palladyne AI Corp.

Palladyne AI Corp. (NASDAQ: PDYN) has developed advanced artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) foundational technology and related software products poised to revolutionize the capabilities of robots, enabling them to observe, learn, reason, and act in a manner akin to human intelligence. Our AI and ML software foundational technology empowers robots to perceive variations or changes in the real-world environment, enabling them to autonomously maneuver and manipulate objects accurately in response.

Palladyne AI software products operate on the edge and dramatically reduce the significant effort required to program and deploy robots enabling industrial robots and collaborative robots (cobots) to quickly achieve autonomous capabilities even in dynamic and or complex environments. Designed to achieve precise results with minimal training time, limited data sets, and lower power requirements, compared to current state-of-the-art solutions, Palladyne AI believes its software has wide application, including in industries such as automotive, aviation, construction, defense, general manufacturing, infrastructure inspection, logistics and warehousing. Its applicability extends beyond traditional robotics to include Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs), and Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs). Palladyne AI's approach is expected to elevate the return on investment associated with a diverse range of machines that are fixed, fly, float, or roll.

By enabling autonomy, reducing programming complexity, and enhancing efficiency, Palladyne AI is paving the way for a future where machines can excel in tasks that were once considered beyond their reach.
