The Industrial Robotics market is projected to grow from USD 17.0 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 32.5 billion by 2028; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 13.8% from 2023 to 2028 according to a new report by MarketsandMarkets. Growing demand for automation in manufacturing and logistics is one of the major drivers of the market.

In this video the Rocking Robots team takes a look at two innovative new robots presented at automatica 2023, the first one a robot by Fizyr, Zivid and The gripper Company that can, among other capabilities, handle transparent objects. The other robot is a lightweight machine by Cognibotics that has a unique combination of speed and reach. In this report we speak to Herbert ten Have, Fizyr; Mats Jonsson, Cognibotics; Henrik Schumann-Olsen, Zivid; Preben Hjørnet, The Gripper Company.

OSARO, provider of machine-learning-enabled robotics for e-commerce, has launched the OSARO Robotic Kitting System. This addition to its range of e-commerce robots is equipped with piece-picking skills and end effectors to handle the constantly changing array of product SKUs that must be organized, placed, and packaged into custom kits.

Rapid Robotics announced integration with the Yaskawa America Motoman Robotics, that will bring industrial capabilities to Rapid Robotics’ Rapid Machine Operator (RMO). The company is now integrated with the entire Yaskawa robotics portfolio, and can deliver more speed, higher payload and increased performance to a greater number of North American manufacturers with a more diverse range of needs.

Micropsi Industries today announced that its artificial intelligence (AI)-based software MIRAI is now compatible with numerous robots produced by FANUC, supplier of robotics and factory automation in Japan, and its U.S. subsidiary FANUC America. With MIRAI, FANUC customers can now add valuable hand-eye coordination to multiple FANUC industrial and collaborative robots (cobots) to handle difficult-to-automate functions such as cable plugging and assembly.

Comau and Siemens have presented several application cases to demonstrate the concrete ability of Siemens PLCs to communicate at an industrial level with Comau robot controllers. The event was held at the MADE – Competence Center Industry 4.0 in Milan, created to support and accompany Italian manufacturing companies on the path of technological innovation and digital transformation.
