Information of the week
TRON 1 robotic extends its attain with a brand new non-compulsory arm
Exhibiting on the Worldwide Convention on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) in Atlanta this week, LimX is concentrating on the biped at analysis functions. Based in 2005, the Shenzhen, China-based firm stated it’s growing “general-purpose robotics” and dealing towards synthetic common intelligence (AGI).
LimX Dynamics not too long ago earned recognition with the 2025 RBR50 Robotics Innovation Award for the multi-model locomotion design of its platform.
Rainbow Robotics unveils omnidirectional wheels, improvement package for its dual-arm robotic
Rainbow Robotics, a Korean robotics developer that spun out of the Humanoid Robotic Analysis Heart of KAIST, unveiled two new options for its RB-Y1 system at ICRA 2025 this week. RB-Y1 is a semi-humanoid robotic that includes a torso and two arms with a brand new mecanum wheel possibility for the wheeled base.
The RB-Y1 options two arms with seven levels of freedom (DoF) every, a 6-DoF single leg, and a wheel-based cell platform. Designed to help a variety of improvement environments, the robotic supplies open software programming interfaces (APIs) and modular choices.
Ambi Robotics sells out AmbiStack for 2025 [Automated warehouse]
Ambi Robotics Inc., a developer of robotic sorting and stacking methods, final week stated it has bought out of its newest product, AmbiStack, for 2025. The corporate stated this was resulting from robust demand from Fortune 500 delivery and logistics clients.
This information comes only a few months after Ambi launched AmbiStack. The Berkeley, Calif.-based firm stated that since introducing the sorting and stacking system, it has seen important curiosity from main logistics firms.
