Source: ENCY Software Turning complex CAD/CAM trajectories into reliable, easy-to-control robotic processes is a challenge for tasks such as milling, grinding, cutting, deburring, polishing, and laser processing, according to ENCY Software Ltd. The company yesterday announced that its ENCY Robot software will work with Stäubli International AG’s industrial robots. “Manufacturers do not need an
ENCY Software and Stäubli Robotics announced a partnership to integrate ENCY Robot software with Stäubli industrial robots, aiming to simplify the process of converting complex design specifications into reliable robot programming for manufacturing tasks like milling, grinding, and cutting. ENCY Robot's platform combines traditional and AI-driven design tools with offline programming and simulation capabilities, allowing manufacturers to program and test robots before deployment while reducing downtime. The partnership addresses a challenge in advanced manufacturing where companies need practical programming tools that bridge the gap between digital design and actual robot production without adding unnecessary complexity. The collaboration was announced at ENCY World Conference 2026, where both companies emphasized making robotic applications easier to program and deploy.

However, there is a shortage of trained surgeons who can tackle these difficult procedures. ForSight Robotics said robotics and artificial intelligence can ease this burden and make cataract surgeries more accessible. “When I was starting to do ophthalmic surg

RoboBusiness 2026, which takes place October 20-21 in Santa Clara, Calif., has opened its call for startups. The event is looking for robotics startups to take part in its startup alley. Selected startups will get a free 10×10 booth on the RoboBusiness show floor. The deadline for submissions is August 12, 2026. We’re looking for robotics startups that are creating an interesting full system, component, or software system to show off their work at the show. The startups will ha

Humanoid robots have surgically removed the gallbladders from living animals in an unprecedented medical experiment—but not as autonomous machines capable of replacing human doctors. Instead, skilled human surgeons remotely controlled the robots’ movements in a new example of human-robot teamups. The teleoperated humanoid robots completed two minimally invasive surgeries by removing gallbladders from live pigs during a preclinical trial that was published in the journal Nature. If this approach
