Hexagon launches AEON, a humanoid built for industry

Hexagon leverages industry-leading expertise in measurement technologies, AI and autonomous systems to introduce an advanced humanoid robot to accelerate next-generation autonomy.

The Future of Underwater Robotics

Imagine a robot that can manage aquaculture projects, repair oil pipelines, and scan the seabed — all without risking human life. Nauticus Robotics' flagship robot, Aquanaut, meets these challenges while running solely on electric power.

Multi-axis motion control drives pipe-based robots

Surveying and maintaining underground pipes can be complex and resource intensive. To streamline the process, construction and facility management teams are increasingly turning to robots that can provide inspection as well as repair.

Case Study Evaluation of an Auditory Alert for an Autonomous Mobile Robot

In this case study, we focus on the autonomous mobile robot (AMR), which can navigate and perform tasks in active environments without direct human control. Safe navigation and obstacle avoidance are fundamentally important for AMRs in the workplace.

Legal Considerations for Robots-as-a-Service (RaaS) in Warehousing

Understanding the nuances of RaaS agreements is key to maximizing its benefits. From implementation fees to site licensing and maintenance responsibilities, a well-structured contract ensures that both vendors and operators are aligned on expectations and obligations.

Automation's Future in Sustainable Transportation

From an operational standpoint, the role of robotics and automation in battery swapping is pivotal. Automated guided mechanisms handle each module, reducing labor costs and minimizing human error.

What Is the Difference between Wi-Fi and Industrial Wireless Networks?

Traditional wireless technologies like Wi-Fi, while great in consumer environments, often fall short of meeting the stringent requirements of industrial settings and specific factory automation applications and machine deployments.
