Robots can be found in industry in a wide variety of
designs, including classic industrial robots,
cobots and autonomous mobile robots. There are also
components and accessories such as grippers, drives and safety technology. You can find an overview in our robotics market overview.

The peak season is in full swing. Retailers and customers are in a pre-Christmas mood, which usually results in stress and impatience. Exotec's Skypod system provides a remedy during this turbulent time.
The Institute of Assembly Technology at the University of Hanover is working on the collaboration of several mobile robots for the assembly of large components.

More intelligent, more efficient, easier to operate - robots are developing rapidly. Among other things, great care is required when setting them up and operating them in order to avoid cost-intensive downtimes. Robot simulation tools are increasingly being used to support this.
With the help of biofeedback, it is possible to improve human-robot interaction and automatically adapt the robot to the needs of humans.

Advanced robotics applications
Artia is a prototype developed jointly by ArtiMinds Robotics and Siemens that connects the ArtiMinds Robot Programming Suite and Simatic Step 7. The aim of the software connector is to minimize the effort involved in implementing advanced robotics applications by automatically creating a communication interface between the robot controller and the PLC.

Comprehensive automation, drive and control solutions from a single source define Yaskawa's presence in addition to the PLC - from the process level to interfaces and controllers to application-specific drive technology and robot-based applications.

Combating the shortage of skilled workers
The shortage of skilled workers is a growing concern for companies in Germany and has reached record levels since the beginning of the year. Qualified junior staff such as welders, mechanics and electricians are desperately sought after - worldwide.

Kawasaki Robotics EMEA has introduced a new certification program for its integrator and partner network.
