The head acts as a natural focal point for nearby workers. The lighting interface gives nearby workers an immediate visual indication of Atlas’s operational state, intended actions, and any system warnings.

Automotive plants have had robots for 40 years and integrators on retainer. Many electronics teams don't have that depth yet, and they're being asked to automate more and at a faster pace.

Today’s solutions are designed to reduce the complexity of deployment with standardized, configurable automation platforms that warehouses can get up and running — sometimes in as little as a day — with little to no software engineering required.

As AI moves from labs into homes, warehouses, and factory floors, wireless connectivity has become as critical to a robot's intelligence as the AI model driving it. Here we look inside the low-latency, low-power, high-speed, multi-radio stack making embodied AI possible.

We have automated the movement of goods and the tracking of goods, but we have not yet automated the truth about goods. Closing that gap is the third wave of warehouse automation, and it is being driven by AI and computer vision.

Featuring 5,000+ storage locations, multi-model autonomous forklift collaboration, and 30%+ improvement in storage density, the solution enables efficient, scalable, and digitalized warehouse operations, supporting the customer's ongoing supply chain transformation.

The integrated machine vision software MVTec MERLIC significantly enhances quality assurance in the assembly process by displaying all relevant information for assembling the component to the production worker, then verifying the process and documenting quality.

A mobile robot is a chain of compromises where the motor, gearbox, controller, battery, wheels, and mechanical layout constantly influence one another. Looking at any of them in isolation almost always leads to a second design iteration.

We asked TI experts to explain how semiconductor technologies could enable humanoid robots to move from specialized applications to scalable real-world systems, and what it will take to scale them for deployment.

One significant trend is the emergence of mixed-SKU depalletizing. As 3D vision systems continue to improve, robots will become increasingly capable of identifying and handling pallets containing different products, making this type of application more common.

Here, Nigel Smith, CEO of TM Robotics, Shibaura Machine’s official distribution partner for injection moulding machines and automation systems in the UK and Ireland, explains why processors must select moulding systems to handle a broader material mix.

Charging strategy, battery chemistry, and the electrical infrastructure behind them quietly determine whether a fleet delivers the throughput it promised or stalls when demand is highest.

Bulles Création built its business on flexibility, bottling for local winemakers while developing its own effervescent drinks. But as demand grew, the company's production tools couldn't keep up. Its packaging line was capped at 1,500 bottles an hour.

The Physical AI companies that will win in manufacturing aren’t the ones collecting the most data. They’re the ones that have figured out which data is worth generating, and built the organizational discipline to generate it effectively.

In this white paper, we’ll identify some scenarios and use cases where customization delivers meaningful value — helping you determine when standard drives suffice and when custom solutions justify the investment.

From a robotic arm delicately gripping an object to a conveyor system detecting product presence, every action begins with input signals. These signals translate physical conditions–such as position, force, temperature, or presence – into data a machine can process.

In total, the project included approximately 165,000 square feet of elevated platform structure and more than 21,000 square feet of grid structure supporting conveyor systems throughout the facility.

In these systems, the motion requirements are especially challenging because the payload is not fixed. As the arm extends, rotates, and dispenses material, the mechanical leverage changes continuously.
