Factory Robots Don't All Need to Be Supercars: Kollmorgen's Case for Right-Sizing Motion Systems
Industrial automation company Kollmorgen has expanded its Essentials motion platform to support the high-voltage power supplies standard in large factories, arguing that matching the motor to the job cuts cost and speeds installation.
Three ex-SpaceX engineers are building a robot factory to make steel parts for AI data centres
Their startup, 1872, opened its first facility in Cincinnati this month. The goal: automate most of the steel fabrication process by 2027, starting with the frames that hold modular data centres together.
Industrial robots are booming outside car factories, new data shows
North American robot orders jumped 21% in value in Q2 2026, and the biggest growth came from chip makers, life sciences firms and food producers, not the car companies that once dominated the industry.
Humanoid robots could become a $370 billion market by 2040. Here is what is slowing them down
McKinsey puts the general-purpose robotics market on track for massive growth, but the software tools used to design these machines are still stuck in the past.
A data-center parts maker replaced all hand welding with 58 robots. Here's what happened.
Tate Inc. says a 12-times jump in per-welder output and an end to costly rework followed its shift to cloud-connected robotic welding across three U.S. factories.
Warehouse Robots Are Getting Smarter. Here Is What Is Driving the Boom.
