ABB and Cosmic use AI-powered robots to rebuild Los Angeles homes destroyed by wildfires

by

ABB Robotics says it is “enabling faster, safer and more cost-effective rebuilding” in areas devastated by the 2025 Southern Californian wildfires through a collaboration with Cosmic Buildings, a construction technology company that uses proprietary mobile robotic microfactories. Cosmic claims its method is “the world’s fastest way to build beautiful custom homes”.

After the wildfires burned thousands of acres, destroying homes, infrastructure, and natural habitats, this pioneering initiative will deploy the microfactory in Pacific Palisades, California, to build modular structures onsite, offering a glimpse into the future of affordable housing construction.

Marc Segura, president of ABB Robotics Division, says: “Together, Cosmic and ABB Robotics are rewriting the rules of construction and disaster recovery. [Read more…] about ABB and Cosmic use AI-powered robots to rebuild Los Angeles homes destroyed by wildfires

Dexterity and Hiwin partner to produce ‘world’s first intelligent robot arm’ for warehouse work

by

Dexterity, a specialist developer of physical AI and robotics, has agreed a strategic partnership with Hiwin Technologies Corp, a manufacturer of motion and control systems, to produce high-performance robot arms for Dexterity’s hardware platform: the Mech.

The Mech is a roving, two-armed robot designed from the ground to embody Physical AI in industrial applications. Its roving base enables it to go where large enterprises need heavy lifting of a wide range of goods, and its lightweight but powerful, dual arm design enables it to pick and pack goods at the speed of operations – and beyond.

Hiwin’s expertise in precision engineering has enabled the development of lightweight, 8-degree-of-freedom robotic arms for the Mech. HIWIN optimized the strength-to-weight ratio of the Mech arms to make them easy to deploy in warehouses, while at the same time ensuring their capability in lifting weights beyond the OSHA limit for a single person lift.
