ZURICH, SWITZERLAND—ABB Robotics has introduced a new family of collaborative robots designed to combine the flexibility of cobots with the speed and payload capabilities typically associated with industrial robots.

FRANKFURT, GERMANY—Robot density increased across major manufacturing regions in 2024, as companies continued investing in automation to improve productivity and address labor challenges, according to new data from the International Federation of Robotics.

BIRMINGHAM, Mich. — As National Robotics Week highlights advances in automation, one trend is becoming clear: robotics is no longer confined to pilot projects or isolated applications. It is being deployed across production lines to solve specific manufacturing challenges. In many cases, the shift is happening at the process level.

BIRMINGHAM, Mich. — As National Robotics Week highlights the rapid evolution of automation, manufacturers are beginning to deploy a new generation of intelligent robotic systems capable of adapting to real-world production environments. Robotics is no longer defined by motion alone. The next phase of automation is being driven by intelligence — systems that can perceive, decide and adapt in real time on the factory floor.

BIRMINGHAM, Mich. —  As National Robotics Week highlights advances across automation and AI, manufacturers are seeing those innovations move rapidly from concept to production environments. Industrial robotics is entering a new phase. What began as fixed automation for repetitive tasks is evolving into flexible systems designed to work alongside people, adapt to changing conditions and take on increasingly complex assembly work. Recent developments across manufacturing show a clear shift: robots are no longer just improving efficiency — they are expanding what can be automated. 

ROCHESTER HILLS, MI — FANUC America is investing $90 million to expand its U.S. manufacturing footprint, with plans to build a new 840,000-square-foot facility in Michigan to support future robot production.

FREMONT, Calif. — Manufacturers have long automated repetitive, high-volume production tasks, but many assembly operations that require dexterity and adaptability have remained difficult to automate. eBots Robotics, a Silicon Valley-based company, is among those focusing on these applications. The company has developed dual-arm robotic systems designed to perform assembly work that traditionally required skilled human operators, particularly in industries such as electronics, semiconductors, medical devices and electric vehicles.

SEONGNAM, South Korea — Tesollo has commercialized a compact five-finger robotic hand designed to enable robots to perform more dexterous manipulation tasks in humanoid and industrial robotics systems. The new DG-5F-S hand features a 20-degree-of-freedom structure intended to support precise grasping and handling of objects in robotic platforms.

PALO ALTO, Calif. — Mind Robotics announced plans to develop and deploy AI-enabled robotic systems designed to automate complex manufacturing tasks that traditional industrial robots cannot perform.

SEONGNAM, South Korea — Doosan Robotics will supply more than 100 manufacturing robots to Kwangjin Group under a strategic partnership aimed at automating production and strengthening quality competitiveness.
