Purpose-Built, Specialized Robots are the Future
Wheeled robots like ours are more efficient for the same reason cycling is more efficient than running, which includes less of a fight with gravity. The efficiency, as well as the sheer complexity of humanoid robots adds up to something that may be very much higher cost.
igus Introduces Iggy Rob: An Affordable Humanoid Robot for Industrial and Service Applications
The robot, offered at a market-disruptive price of approximately $54,500, presents a cost-effective entry point into humanoid robotics for companies seeking automation solutions.
How to Integrate New Robotics Without Disrupting Your Workflow
Many fulfillment and 3PL facilities struggle with the idea of automation, fearing downtime, technical headaches, and compatibility issues. But what if robotics could smoothly enhance your workflow instead of disrupting it?
Mobile manipulators: Flexibility through mobility
Mobile robots are now a key element in various factories, responsible for transporting raw materials, moving items between work stations, and delivering finished goods to storage or dispatch areas. These adaptable platforms can carry tools, components, and entire assemblies.
The Future of Work: How Humanoid Robots Will Revolutionize Industries
Advanced humanoid robots are not destined to replace human workers entirely. Instead, they are poised to revolutionize industries by complementing human skills and addressing critical labor shortages in hazardous environments.

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
