Hexagon and Fill Maschinenbau partner to advance manufacturing autonomy using humanoids

by

Hexagon Robotics and Fill Maschinenbau are have announced a collaboration to define how humanoids can work alongside Fill’s manufacturing solutions to increase autonomy in advanced manufacturing.

AEON, Hexagon Robotics’ multi-purpose humanoid, will be piloted on one of Fill’s client use case in Gurten, Austria, to demonstrate how it can be integrated within real manufacturing workflows and as a complement to Fill’s automation solutions.

Arnaud Robert, president of Hexagon Robotics, says: “We have focused on real-world applications from the outset, and it is encouraging to see strong interest from industry leaders such as Fill. This collaboration is an important step in validating how humanoids can increase the level of autonomy of the manufacturing processes and deliver measurable value across diverse environments.

IEEE explores future of ‘networked AI’ where robots learn collectively

by

Researchers are increasingly exploring a future in which robots and AI systems do not operate as isolated machines, but instead learn collectively across connected networks – sharing information, adapting to changing environments, and continuously optimizing their own behavior in real time.

That growing area of research – often referred to as “networked AI” – is now the focus of a new special issue from the IEEE Signal Processing Society and the IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Signal Processing, which have issued a call for papers examining “Autonomous and Evolutive Optimization in Networked AI”.

While the academic terminology may sound abstract, many of the themes are closely connected to emerging trends already reshaping robotics and industrial automation, including multi-agent robotics, distributed AI systems, edge intelligence, autonomous vehicles, warehouse robot fleets, and collaborative industrial automation.

igus showcases humanoid robots and AGVs through RBTX marketplace

by

RBTX, the robotics marketplace operated by igus, used this year’s Hannover Messe 2026 to highlight what it described as the world’s widest range of humanoid robots available through a single robotics platform, alongside a growing portfolio of autonomous mobile robots and automated guided vehicles (AGVs).

Presented during igus’ annual corporate press conference at the event, the company positioned RBTX as a platform designed to simplify access to industrial automation by allowing manufacturers to explore, compare, test, and deploy robotics systems tailored to their operational requirements.

The marketplace combines humanoid robots, collaborative systems, and mobile automation technologies within a unified platform aimed at reducing the complexity traditionally associated with robotics integration. [Read more…] about igus showcases humanoid robots and AGVs through RBTX marketplace

Sony achieves ‘major breakthrough’ with tennis-playing robot

by

Sony AI has announced a “major breakthrough” in robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) with the publication of its project Ace, the first known real-world autonomous system competitive with elite and professional-level human table tennis players.

The research outlining the achievement, “Outplaying Elite Table Tennis Players with an Autonomous Robot” was published on the cover of Nature.

This marks the first time a robot has achieved human, expert-level play in a commonly played competitive sport in the physical world – a longstanding milestone for AI and robotics research. [Read more…] about Sony achieves ‘major breakthrough’ with tennis-playing robot

Zinelio Corp.’s Top Tips for Managing User Acquisition Without Losing Operational Control

by

There’s a version of growth that looks great on paper and quietly wrecks a company from the inside.

It usually starts the same way: a business enters a new market – let’s say the U.S. – gains some momentum, starts pulling in users faster than expected, and then realizes too late that the back end of the operation wasn’t built to handle what the front end just promised.

Customer experience drops. Internal processes crack. The people running the show feel like they’re always three steps behind. [Read more…] about Zinelio Corp.’s Top Tips for Managing User Acquisition Without Losing Operational Control

Dürr launches new robots with optimized arm geometry for painting tasks

by

With the EcoRP4, Dürr is introducing a new generation of robots used to paint car bodies. The compact painting robot features an asymmetric architecture that improves access to the body for the applicator, enabling it to reliably reach even hard-to-access interior areas.

Its reduced number of components also lowers maintenance requirements and operational costs, especially benefiting car manufacturers with high production volumes.

Since 1998, Dürr has shipped almost 20,000 painting robots from the Ecopaint robotic family worldwide. The latest addition to the family, the EcoRP4, has been developed as the successor to the six-axis EcoRP E/L x33iC robot, and is specifically designed for painting lines that handle high volumes and standardised applications.
