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.

Wearable Robotics and Exoskeleton Technology

Through onboard intelligence and cloud connectivity, Exia delivers personalized support, injury prevention, and ergonomic optimization - essentially becoming a smart, adaptive partner for physical work.

The Human + Robot Workforce: How Collaborative Robotics Are Solving the Labor Crisis

Collaborative robotics like person-to-goods or 'pick assist' AMRs are intelligently designed to work with people, not replace them. Adoption of AMRs for automated order fulfillment is turning this challenge into a competitive advantage.
