The robotics industry is rapidly evolving. Breakthrough advances are occurring in a variety of fields, from industrial automation to healthcare robots. This article summarizes a selection of the latest trends and innovations in robotics that we have covered so far.
1/ Factory humanoid robot
Humanoid robots are moving toward integration into industry and medicine. Recent developments by companies such as Amazon and BMW include testing humanoid robots within work environments. These robots are intended to handle repetitive or dangerous tasks, increase efficiency, and work collaboratively with humans. Challenges include achieving levels of safety and reliability.
We have selected five humanoid robots that are currently taking a new step forward.

2/ New mobile robots arrive on the market
Autonomous mobile robots (AMR) are revolutionizing various industries by providing flexible and intelligent solutions. Unlike automated guided vehicles (AGVs), which follow a specific guided path, AMRs use data from cameras, laser scanners, and other sensors to move freely through the work environment, avoiding obstacles. Increase efficiency by working alongside human workers.
The AMR market is booming and is expected to grow significantly. New offers are appearing on the market.

3/ New collaborative robot manufacturer
French company MS-Innov is entering the manufacturing space with modular collaborative robots. What sets MS-Innov's collaborative robots apart are his two key features:
- Modularity: MS-Innov cobots are available in 4-, 5-, and 6-axis configurations and in two sizes (M and S) and three module types (M1, M2, and M3). This extensibility and customization allows you to meet different payload requirements and reach. The cobot can be assembled manually within minutes using an intuitive nut and bolt system. The focus is on flexibility, once purchased, cobots can be reconfigured for different application scenarios, avoiding idle equipment within the enterprise.
- infinite rotation: Unlike traditional systems, MS-Innov's collaborative robots can rotate infinitely. It utilizes pins to convey both information and power, eliminating the need for relocation and streamlining the production process.

4/ Industrial exoskeletons can be useful in the workplace
Industrial exoskeletons are making their way from the silver screen to the workplace. Unlike in the movies, real-world exoskeletons prioritize worker safety over strength.
Approximately 93,000 exoskeletons will be in use in workplaces around the world in 2022, and that number is expected to increase sevenfold by 2030. These wearable devices assist workers with specific tasks with the goal of reducing injuries and fatigue.
