inductive charging, mobile robots can work without interruption. There are no open contacts, which increases safety and reduces maintenance costs. As xed charging zones are no longer necessary, companies gain valuable space for other processes. In addition, the standardized energy supply enables integration into mixed AMR eets. Offering more than 1,450 AMR types, Hikrobot covers a range of applications in logistics, automotive production, electronics manufacturing, and photovoltaics. Hikrobot is already using inductive charging technology in the heavy-duty AMR H7, which transports large components in automotive production. The charging solution ts directly into the production ow, allowing robots to pick up energy during their normal work. AMT Launches Flexible Collaborative Palletizing Solution Applied Manufacturing Technologies (AMT) introduced a plug-and-play collaborative palletizing solution built around the FANUC CRX-30iA robot. AMT, a FANUC Level V Authorized System Integrator, optimized the system for case handling: It can stack boxes with precision and consistency and can adapt to different case sizes and patterns. Offering fast deployment, intuitive operation, and minimal oor space requirements, the solution is designed for packaging operations in food and beverage, logistics, and pharmaceutical sectors.
The cobot palletizing solution allows manufacturers to increase throughput, reduce ergonomic risks, and maintain uptime. AMT’s solution features a custom-developed user interface (UI) that simpli es setup and lets end users create and modify palletizing patterns independently. The system can integrate with existing warehouse management systems (WMS) and offers operator independence: No engineering support is needed to recon gure for new products or pallet patterns. Starting at $120K, AMT’s palletizing solution typically delivers return on investment in under one year. The system is designed to be easily moved between lines, allowing operators to make quick position adjustments and resume palletizing within minutes. Brightpick’s Autopicker 2.0 Matches Human Picking Productivity Brightpick, a provider of AI-powered robotic solutions for warehouses, unveiled Autopicker 2.0, the latest version of its agship multipurpose AI robot. Featuring the company’s Intuition software, now including Physical AI and picking-in-motion, and a redesigned hardware platform, Autopicker 2.0 delivers on average 70-80 picks per hour, matching the productivity of a typical warehouse associate. The new Autopicker is the result of ve years of integrated hardware and software development, enhanced by Brightpick’s advancements in robotic

AI technology. Compared to the rst- generation model, the new Autopicker boosts throughput by 50% per robot, with 40% faster picking and 20% increase in travel speed. Designed for human-like versatility, Autopicker is a multipurpose mobile manipulator that automates a wide range of warehouse work ows, moving between tasks and workstations. Each robot is equipped with “eyes” (3D vision and LiDAR), “legs” (a mobile base), “hands” (a robotic arm) with a “sense of touch” (advanced force and suction sensors), and a “brain” ( Intuition with Physical AI) to perform complex tasks with human-like precision.
