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.

AURORA, Colo.— GE Aerospace has been awarded a contract by the Defense Logistics Agency to increase readiness of the J85 engine that powers the Northrop T-38 Talon, the U.S. Air Force’s primary training aircraft.

OSHKOSH, Wis. – Oshkosh Defense is working with Marine Depot Maintenance Command to support the Digital Manufacturing Exchange, a platform designed to accelerate production through advanced manufacturing. The system allows validated technical data from original equipment manufacturers to be transmitted securely so components can be produced at the point of need while maintaining configuration control and protecting intellectual property. 

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.

This conversation with Bill Good, Vice President of Manufacturing and Supply Chain at GE Appliances, explores what it takes to scale advanced manufacturing in the United States — and why speed, talent and technology must evolve together.

MUNICH, Germany — Misplaced glasses on the kitchen counter or a phone left somewhere in the living room could soon be found by a robot. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich have developed a system that locates lost objects by combining 3D vision with language-based artificial intelligence.

BOSTON — Flexxbotics announced that Orizon Aerostructures has deployed its autonomous manufacturing platform to expand automation across production operations. The system is designed to improve process monitoring, maintain manufacturing compliance and enable autonomous process control in the company’s aerostructure manufacturing facilities.

PALO ALTO, Calif. — Rhoda AI has introduced FutureVision, a robotic intelligence platform designed to help robots operate reliably in real-world production environments where materials, layouts and workflows constantly change. The system uses video-predictive control to continuously observe and predict physical interactions, enabling robots to adapt in real time rather than follow fixed, pre-programmed trajectories.

CINCINNATI –GE Aerospace says it will invest $1 billion in its U.S. manufacturing sites and supplier base this year to help accelerate engine deliveries, ramp production of parts that safely extend time between maintenance shop visits and strengthen defense production to keep pace with military demand.
