From hype to reality: ASI CEO Mel Torrie on why autonomous vehicles are outpacing humanoid robots

by

Autonomous Solutions, Inc. (ASI) is not a company that regularly dominates headlines, but it has spent more than two decades quietly building and deploying autonomous vehicle systems across industries where automation is already delivering measurable results.

Founded in 2000 and headquartered in Utah, ASI has focused on real-world autonomy – retrofitting and orchestrating fleets of heavy equipment in sectors such as agriculture, construction, mining and logistics.

Its Mobius command-and-control platform (image below) enables operators to manage multiple autonomous vehicles remotely, positioning the company as a long-standing player in what is now being reframed as “physical AI”.

ABB partners with Jacobi Robotics to roll out AI-powered palletizing for integrator network

by

Jacobi Robotics, a Physical AI company for warehouse automation, has announced a collaboration with ABB Robotics, which will integrate Jacobi’s OmniPalletizer AI software within its portfolio of robotics hardware and software.

The collaboration will give ABB Robotics’ network of system integrators a productized, repeatable way to deploy AI-powered mixed-case palletizing without upstream sequencing infrastructure, facility redesign, or custom engineering.

Mixed-case palletizing – building stable, store-ready pallets from live, unsequenced case flows – is one of the most labor-intensive and costly manual workflows in distribution. [Read more…] about ABB partners with Jacobi Robotics to roll out AI-powered palletizing for integrator network

Which U.S. Visa is Right for AI Engineers and Robotics Specialists?

by

The U.S. robotics and automation sector is one of the fastest-growing sectors in the country, and for good reason, but hiring the right people is turning out to be a real bottleneck for a lot of businesses.

One big influencing factor is accessing foreign talent through immigration.

Whether it’s warehouse robotics and autonomous vehicles or more industrial AI, companies are competing globally for engineers who can build real systems. [Read more…] about Which U.S. Visa is Right for AI Engineers and Robotics Specialists?

The Desert Digitalises: How Dubai is Engineering a Global Hub for Robotics and Automation

by

Dubai has long established itself as a city of superlatives, known for its rapid urban development and architectural marvels. However, a significant shift is currently under way beneath the skyline: the transition from being a primary importer of technology to a global developer of it.

This evolution is perhaps most visible in the fields of robotics and automation, where the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is no longer just an observer of global trends but a central architect of its own high-tech future.

The Growing Demand for Aluminum CNC Machining in Modern Industries

by

Walk into almost any production facility today and you will notice something. Aluminum is everywhere. It shows up in aerospace components, car parts, medical tools, and consumer gadgets. And most of those parts went through a CNC machine at some point.

That is not a coincidence. As the demand for precise, lightweight parts keeps climbing, this combination is becoming more central to how modern manufacturing gets done.

The global CNC machining market is projected to exceed $100 billion by 2026, and companies like Yijin Solution, known for their reliable aluminum CNC machining service, are already doing the kind of work that reflects where the industry is heading.

Logic introduces ‘Octopus’ overhead multi-arm robot to boost warehouse throughput

by

High-speed, multi-arm goods-to-robot system pairs with Logic Pallets to turn every loading zone into a smart automation cell

Logic, a pioneer in autonomous, data-driven logistics solutions, highlights the Octopus, an overhead industrial picking robot that replaces static, floor-bound equipment with an agile, ceiling-mounted system for high-speed case handling.

Suspended above existing workflows, Octopus autonomously picks, lifts, and transfers cased goods without consuming aisle space, allowing warehouses and logistics hubs to reclaim the floor for storage density, people, and flow.

Rather than relying on a single arm with one dominant tool, Octopus is built as a configurable, multi-arm platform that can be populated with any combination of suction cups, clamps, grippers, and specialized end effectors.

Robotronic and Mitsubishi Electric launch high-speed pharma palletising system

by

A long-standing automation partnership between a Swiss machine builder and one of the world’s leading manufacturers of industrial robots is aiming to help transform the pharmaceutical supply chain in Europe with the launch of what is believed to be the ‘smallest’ automated palletising cell for vials and pre-filled syringes.

Swiss-based Robotronic has partnered with Mitsubishi Electric’s Factory Automation EMEA division for more than two decades.

Now, the two organisations are collaborating together on a new low-footprint cell to help the pharmaceutical industry overcome record-high shortages across Europe in recent years for medicines ranging from children’s cough syrups through to antibiotics and even cancer treatments.
