Automotive suppliers Unichem and R&Y are working with Loomia to develop tactile sensors for automotive and robotics applications.

Gunnar Pétur Hauksson, the co-founder and COO at Treble Technologies, says robotics developers can’t overlook the importance of hearing.

Industry experts will discuss how to scale mobile robots in the warehouse while maintaining both safety and productivity.

Autonomy is no longer just about robotic motor skills. It encompasses machine awareness, dynamic decision-making, multi-vehicle coordination, and spatial precision at a large scale.

Generative Bionics said its Gene.01 humanoid is fully sensorized, helping it quickly anticipate human presence and respond.

Deploying world models in real robotic systems requires a step that receives less attention than the models themselves: conditioning.

Real-world robotics success requires building infrastructure-free systems that thrive in unpredictable, harsh outdoor environments.

AGIBOT said its demoes and industrial deployments show its progress in turning embodied AI capabilities into repeatable workflows.

X1 Panel Lift uses existing excavators and a single workflow so solar installation crews can focus on alignment, fastening, and quality.

Luxonis said it plans to scale production of its OAK camera and refine its platform to support robotics and industrial automation.

Sonair says ADAR One was assessed as a human detection sensor according to the IEC 61496 standard for electrosensitive protection devices.

ExRobotics says its ExR-2.5 inspection robot is certified for safe operations in explosive environments in North America.

While vision and language are key parts of physical AI, physical state recovery will enable robots to interact with the world, says a columnist.

X Square Robot has open-sourced XRZero-G0, a framework that reduces real-robot training data requirements by up to 20x.

At ICRA 2026, GENISOM AI may have been new to many international attendees — but it is not a concept-stage robotics startup.

Amazon says Proteus needs no special commands as it plans to deploy the mobile robot, as well as STARK and Vulcan, across Europe.

NVIDIA has released open-source physical AI agent skills and tools, as well as an Isaac GR00T humanoid reference robot.

May 2026 was a busy month full of robotics news, and it was topped off by the Robotics Summit & Expo in Boston.

Making machine perception reliable enough for real deployment requires more than better AI; it requires properly calibrated sensors, says an Orbbec co-founder.

XELA Robotics will show at the Robotics Summit & Expo its improved magnetic interference compensation and uSkin in the Universal Manipulation Interface.

The vice president of physical AI at Hailo explains why the next wave of AI will run locally on specialized machines designed for real-world tasks.
