From transport to handling: Neura demonstrates end-to-end mobile manipulation for intralogistics

by

Neura Mobile Robots has presented an application for mobile manipulation in intralogistics for the first time at LogiMAT. Under its ek Robotics brand, Neura demonstrated how mobile transport robotics and cognitive robotics can be combined into a seamless system, enabling a new level of automation.

At the heart of the application is the combination of the X Move 1200 automated guided vehicle platform from Neura Mobile Robots and the MAiRA M cognitive cobot from Neura Robotics. The integrated solution makes it possible not only to transport materials, but also to directly grasp, retrieve, and store or retrieve them.

For the first time, users can fully automate transport and handling processes without manual handovers. This reduces process times, lowers error rates, and significantly increases system availability.

Nowaste Logistics advances automation with Cognibotics robot picking cell

by

Nowaste Logistics, a Swedish third-party logistics (TPL) provider, has ordered a second robot picking cell from Cognibotics following the successful pilot of the first installation.

Integrated with Nowaste’s AutoStore system delivered by Swisslog, the Cognibotics robot cell performs high-speed picking directly from AutoStore ports, enabling Nowaste to scale with greater operational robustness and a future-proof approach to automated order fulfillment, strengthening its commercial offering to TPL customers.

The Cognibotics material-handling robot, equipped with Sics.AI’s vision system, has been running in production at Nowaste with stable performance and reliable uptime. [Read more…] about Nowaste Logistics advances automation with Cognibotics robot picking cell

Smarter Storage, Faster Shipping: Automation in the Supply Chain

by

In the global economy of 2025, customer expectations for fast, accurate, and affordable deliveries have reached an all-time high.

E-commerce giants and traditional retailers alike are under constant pressure to fulfill orders more quickly and efficiently than ever before.

To meet these demands, businesses are turning to automation to revolutionize their supply chains – from warehouse storage to final delivery.

According to McKinsey, companies that fully embrace supply chain automation can cut operational costs by 15% to 30% and improve delivery times by 20% to 40%. [Read more…] about Smarter Storage, Faster Shipping: Automation in the Supply Chain

Nvidia says its deep learning research is putting robotic picking within reach

by

Picking the right items from a disparate range of objects is a difficult challenge for a robot, but Nvidia says it is making progress. 

As another step toward enabling robots to work effectively in complex environments, robotics researchers from Nvidia says it has developed a novel deep learning-based system that allows a robot to perceive household objects in its environment for the purpose of grasping the objects and interacting with them.

With this technique, the robot is able to perform simple pick-and-place operations on known household objects, such as handing an object to a person or grasping an object out of a person’s hand.
