What we tested with the Model Hardware Standard (MHS) research preview — and why PolyScope X is the platform that gets us there.

Engineering curricula struggle to keep pace with AI-driven automation. A free, university-built curriculum suggests a more durable answer than constant rewriting — and no robot is needed to get going.

Assars transformed powder coating with industrial collaborative robots—delivering consistent quality, cutting material use, and improving working conditions. Discover how intelligent automation turns manual touch-ups into a scalable, future-ready process.

As product complexity increased, GMPack needed a smarter way to scale high-mix production without adding labor or compromising hygiene.

Quality inspection often breaks down due to fatigue and repetition, not lack of standards. Explores how cobots help quality teams improve accuracy, protect inspectors and increase throughput by taking on the most physically demanding inspection tasks.

Skilled welders are scarce, and traditional robots are difficult to program. Discover how AI-powered cobots simplify programming for high-mix, low-volume welding.

The Robotiq Wrist Camera is designed for industrial applications with Universal Robots. YOu can teach new parts and/or detect features fast to ensure repeatable picking.

Humanoids are everywhere right now. For manufacturing leaders already under pressure to improve productivity, the question is unavoidable: is this something we should be planning for?

Emerson boosts efficiency, consistency, and operator well-being with collaborative automation

Imitation learning systems trained only on motion and vision break down when robots make real contact with the world. Direct Torque Control exposes force and physical interaction as first‑class signals, allowing learning models to capture intent, adapt during contact, and transfer more reliably from lab settings to production environments.

MODEX 2026 made clear that the era of the ‘perfectly programmed grid’ is over. As I spoke with visitors at our booth, a profound shift became clear: companies are increasingly on the search for physical AI and robotics that react on the fly to real-world variability.

Carriere Industrial Supply (CIS) in Sudbury, Canada, produces heavy earth-moving equipment for harsh mining environments.

With large workpieces that are difficult to move and a low-volume, high-mix manufacturing environment, traditional robots aren’t ideal.

Cobots from Universal Robots now handle plasma cutting and MIG welding tasks, letting CIS bring the robot to the work—rather than the other way around – while eliminating manual cleanup on cut parts, saving 1,000 hours on a single project.
