Why Wire-Free Robotic Lawn Mowers Are Becoming the Industry Standard?

by

The robotic lawn mower industry is entering a new phase of technological maturity. Over the past decade, systems relying on boundary wires have dominated the mainstream market due to their stability and reliability.

However, as user demand for “zero-maintenance” and “plug-and-play” experiences continues to grow, boundary-free robotic lawn mowers are rapidly becoming the industry’s future direction.

This shift represents not only a product upgrade but also a transformation of the industry from “rule-based automation” to “spatially intelligent autonomous systems”. [Read more…] about Why Wire-Free Robotic Lawn Mowers Are Becoming the Industry Standard?

PAL Robotics showcases TIAGo Pro at MWC Barcelona 2026

by

PAL Robotics, an European pioneer in humanoid and service robotics, has been showcasing its technology at the Mobile World Congress Barcelona 2026, which took place from March 2-5 at Fira Gran Via, as an integral exhibitor of the Spain Pavilion (Hall 4 – 4C30, Stand 5).

Set in the city where the company was founded and where its headquarters still stand, PAL Robotics is prepared to participate in the global connectivity ecosystem and share how robotics, AI and real-time communication come together to enable robots to move from controlled demos to practical deployment.

At the stand, visitors had the chance to meet TIAGo Pro, PAL Robotics’ next-generation mobile manipulator. Designed as an adaptable platform, TIAGo Pro brings together navigation, perception and manipulation capabilities with a fully open-source software architecture, which enables developers to build, integrate and iterate faster, enhancing their projects where they need it most, and enabling research and development for diverse applications and streamlining deployment across industries.

When wheels won’t do: Humanoid robots for human-centric spaces

by

By Nicolas Lehment, senior principal system architect, NXP Semiconductors

Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and wheeled mobile robots currently dominate factories and warehouses, following magnetic stripes or optical markers permanently embedded in warehouse flooring to navigate routes.

As requirements evolve, however, wheels are simply not enough. Demand is growing for machines capable of navigating more challenging, human-centric environments, such as hospitals, restaurants, homes, and even rugged outdoor terrain.

In such environments, perfectly flat floors, free from steps and stairs, along with conspicuous, clutter-free aisles, are luxuries. [Read more…] about When wheels won’t do: Humanoid robots for human-centric spaces
