RobCo has released the latest version of its easy-to-use programming interface 'RobFlow 5'. Based on the 'RobCo Studio' software platform, companies can configure, implement and manage robots in use via a digital twin.

With the 'Melfa RV-12CRL', Mitsubishi Electric has launched a vertical articulated robot with a reach of 1,504 mm and a payload of 12 kg. Integrated functions simplify commissioning and increase safety.

The robot-guided depalletizing systems for small load carriers (SLC) from Polyplan enable the automated unloading of pallets - even with a large variety of SLC types - as well as the precise positioning of the removed crates on storage locations or conveyor systems.

Mobile Industrial Robots (MiR) launches the 'MiR1200 Pallet Jack'. The autonomous mobile robot (AMR) relies on pallet recognition based on artificial intelligence powered by the Nvidia Jetson AGX Orin module.
Conventional mobile robotic systems on the market start at around 25,000 euros, with an integrated robotic arm they are around 70,000 euros. Due to the high prices, widespread use is often unaffordable for small and medium-sized companies. Igus wants to change this.

A user-friendly cobot application for small and medium-sized companies that can be used without programming - a team of researchers from Belgium received the Kuka Innovation Award 2024 for this concept.

Humanoid robots are leaving the laboratory and moving into the production halls of large industrial companies, according to the Horváth market analysis 'Humanoid Robots in Operations'.
