Should You Lease or Finance Warehouse Automation Equipment?
The pressure on modern supply chains is higher than it’s ever been. As consumer expectations shift toward lightning-fast delivery times and flawless order accuracy, warehouse operators are realizing that traditional, manual picking, packing, and sorting processes simply can’t keep pace.
Upgrading your facility with advanced automation equipment, whether that means automated guided vehicles, smart conveyor systems, or robotic sorting arms, has moved from a luxury to an absolute necessity for survival.
To compete in today’s landscape, you’ve got to find ways to squeeze maximum efficiency out of every square foot of your fulfillment space. [Read more…] about Should You Lease or Finance Warehouse Automation Equipment?
Interview with Christina Gomez-Terry of Plus One Robotics: Why warehouse robotics succeeds or fails at scale
Warehouse automation has entered a new phase. The question is no longer whether robotics can perform individual tasks such as parcel picking, depalletizing, sorting, or palletizing.
The technology has largely proven itself in pilot projects and controlled deployments. The bigger challenge facing the industry today is scale.
As logistics operators expand robotics systems across multiple facilities, they often discover that success depends less on peak performance and more on consistency, reliability, and operational resilience.

Robot dogs help police catch car break-in suspects at Atlanta apartment complex
Robot dogs are increasingly being deployed in industrial and commercial security applications, but a recent incident in Atlanta showed how quickly the technology is moving into real-world law enforcement support roles.
According to a report by Atlanta News First, robotic security dogs helped track and corner two suspects accused of breaking into vehicles at the Columbia Crest Apartments in the city’s West Midtown district.
Security cameras reportedly captured the suspects entering the apartment complex parking garage on May 21 before the robotic patrol systems responded automatically. [Read more…] about Robot dogs help police catch car break-in suspects at Atlanta apartment complex

Plus One Robotics streams eight hours of live warehouse automation performance
Warehouse automation company Plus One Robotics has completed an eight-hour live stream demonstration of its AI-powered parcel induction system, offering what the company described as a transparent look at the realities of large-scale warehouse robotics operations.
The livestream, broadcast on the company’s YouTube and LinkedIn channels, showcased a robotic parcel induction system operating continuously in a real-world workflow environment while displaying live operational metrics throughout the event.
According to the company, the system completed 19,784 picks during the eight-hour session, achieving throughput of 2,488 picks per hour and an average pick time of 1.45 seconds per parcel. More than 950 viewers reportedly tuned in during the livestream. [Read more…] about Plus One Robotics streams eight hours of live warehouse automation performance
Doozy Robotics launches global expansion to scale AI-powered humanoid workforce for factories
Doozy Robotics, the Singapore-based Physical AI humanoid company building autonomous industrial workforces, has announced a coordinated global expansion across the United States, GCC, and Asia, marking its next phase of growth ahead of a planned Series A.
The startup is backed by investors including Cocoon Capital, who have supported the company through a period of great commercial traction.
Founded by Suresh Chandrasekar and Ajmal Thahseen, Doozy is building a vertically integrated ecosystem rather than selling isolated machines. [Read more…] about Doozy Robotics launches global expansion to scale AI-powered humanoid workforce for factories
Geekplus Takes Fifth RBR50 Innovation Award With AI-Powered Picking Station
The warehouse robotics firm’s latest win recognises a zero-shot learning system deployed at a Schneider Electric facility in Shanghai
Beijing-headquartered Geekplus (HKEX: 2590.HK) has won the 2026 RBR50 Innovation Award for its Robot Arm Picking Station, an intelligent system that automates item picking, which is widely regarded as the last major bottleneck in warehouse automation.
The award, presented annually by The Robot Report at the Robotics Summit & Expo, recognises the 50 most innovative companies in global robotics. It is the fifth time Geekplus has appeared on the list, placing it alongside ABB, Amazon, Boston Dynamics and Nvidia among repeat honourees.

Boston Dynamics trains Atlas humanoid robot to pick up and place washing machine
Boston Dynamics has released new behind-the-scenes footage showing its latest electric humanoid robot, Atlas, performing heavy lifting and manipulation tasks that the company says are designed to prepare the system for real industrial work. (See video below.)
The demonstration centers on Atlas lifting and carrying a mini-fridge weighing roughly 50 pounds, although Boston Dynamics says the robot successfully handled a loaded fridge weighing more than 100 pounds during testing.
The company says the breakthrough is not simply the robot’s physical strength, but the development of AI-driven control systems capable of adapting to “real world adaptability: handling heavy objects by bracing and accounting for the mass and inertia; using whole-body control, not just hands to maneuver”.
