Epson introduces AX6 cobot with compact design, no-code programming
The AX6 force- and power-limited robot arm is designed to be lightweight and easy to use. Source: Epson Epson Robots this week expanded its six-axis robot line with the AX6 collaborative robot. It said the new cobot is is designed with power- and force-limiting features that, with a proper risk assessment, can allow operation alongside people without traditional safety barriers. “Collaborative robots have lowered the barriers to entry for many new robot users by simplifying programming and integ
Get smart on it
A company that specializes in precision robotics has introduced a new collaborative robot arm designed to be lightweight and compact, with programming features that do not require coding expertise. The robot includes power- and force-limiting safety features that allow it to operate near people without traditional safety barriers when accompanied by proper risk assessment. This matters because collaborative robots have made automation more accessible to new users by simplifying how they are programmed and deployed, addressing applications where space is limited and human interaction is needed. The new robot is available now through the company's distribution network as part of its broader lineup of six-axis robots.

Inside NVIDIA’s IsaacTeleop: From Hand and Controller Tracking to Robot Actions with the Graph-Based Retargeting Engine
In this tutorial, we work through the retargeting engine at the core of NVIDIA IsaacTeleop, the framework that turns XR hand tracking and motion-controller input into commands for simulated and real robots. Rather than plugging in a headset, we build every input ourselves in NumPy, so each step runs on a plain Colab CPU and prints what it computes. We start with the type system every node speaks, generate synthetic hand and controller data, write our own retargeter with live-tunable parameters,
