In Episode 159 of The Robotic Report Podcast, editors Steve Crowe and Mike Oitzman focus on the newest information. On right this moment’s present, we even have a dialog with Chris Walti, co-founder and CEO of warehouse automation supplier Mytra AI.
Mytra final month decloaked and unveiled its pallet-based ASRS-like storage array. Its robots can transfer as much as 3,000 lb. (1,360.7 kg) by means of its storage array.
The firm is starting to deploy pilot tasks with early entry prospects, and Walti discusses the best purposes for the system.

Determine 02 humanoid robotic is able to work in warehouses, factories
Determine AI has unveiled its newest humanoid robotic, Determine 02, a glossy improve from its predecessor, Determine 01. The brand new F.02 mannequin sports activities a matte black end and boasts enhanced capabilities.
With a 50% improve in battery life, fingers with 16 levels of freedom and able to lifting as much as 25 kg (55.1 lb.), the robotic is poised to be a major improve. The corporate is gearing up for mass manufacturing and plans to supply the robotic on the market to industrial and warehouse purposes.
Tender Robotics exits the gripper enterprise, launches AI-focused firm
Tender Robotics divested its gentle robotic gripper enterprise to J. Schmalz GmbH for an undisclosed quantity. Glatten, Germany-based Schmalz is a number one developer of vacuum expertise, making every part from suction cups and vacuum mills to finish gripping and clamping programs.
Mark Chiappetta, president and CEO instructed The Robotic Report that Schmalz is buying Tender Robotics’ mental property in addition to plenty of staff and amenities.
Prepared Robotics, maker of ForgeOS, shuts down
Prepared Robotics, a startup aiming to develop a robot-agnostic working system, has skilled a setback with the failure to safe extra funding, in line with sources. The corporate’s ForgeOS, designed to function throughout numerous robotic manufacturers, confronted challenges in gaining traction inside the manufacturing trade.
Whereas robotic programming interfaces have seen important developments and elevated trade funding, sources emphasised the in depth coaching and help supplied by established robotic producers like FANUC.
In response to market challenges, Prepared Robotics initially pivoted in direction of a palletizing system, a crowded market with quite a few current options. Finally, the corporate shifted its focus to robotics consulting.
Symbotic acquires Veo Robotics
Sources aware of the matter stated Symbotic has acquired Veo Robotics, a startup creating security expertise to rework industrial robots into collaborative ones. Veo’s flagship product, FreeMove, makes use of superior sensors and synthetic intelligence to create a secure working setting for people and robots inside a shared area.
The expertise entails capturing and analyzing 3D photos of a workcell to foretell potential hazards and modify robotic habits accordingly. Symbotic confirmed that it has acquired Veo’s expertise associated to industrial robotic security and has welcomed the Veo staff.
A number of former Veo staff have up to date their LinkedIn profiles to replicate employment at Symbotic.
