A company has developed a software platform that replaces manual robot coding with drag-and-drop automation for industrial robotic systems. The platform uses AI to enable robots to quickly learn and reconfigure tasks like complex assembly work, which could make industrial robotics more accessible to manufacturers without requiring traditional programming expertise. This matters because it addresses a significant barrier to robot adoption in factories and machine shops. The approach is being tested through partnerships with system integrators and a global developer challenge focused on solving difficult assembly problems like cable and connector manipulation.

The new Mantis MR-X dual-arm fenceless robot. | Source: Mantis Robotics Mantis Robotics yesterday unveiled the MR-X, a biomimetic dual-arm robot designed to operate without safety fences or cages. The company said the system has embedded physical AI capabilities that enable it to operate alongside human workers. The MR-X builds on years of proven, certified fenceless operation, backed by major entities in automation, including Amazon. The MR-1, certified to ISO 10218 and ISO 13849, has already d

The Digit humanoid robot is already at work at several commercial customers. Source: Agility Robotics Agility Robotics Inc. today said that it has agreed to merge with special purpose acquisition company, or SPAC, Churchill Capital Corp. XI. It claimed that it will become “the only U.S. publicly listed pure-play humanoid company with proven, active commercial deployments.” Agility developed bipedal research platform Cassie and humanoid robot Digit, which is now in commercial trials.
