FunctionBay develops Multi-Body Dynamics (MBD) simulation software, notably RecurDyn, for analyzing the dynamics of complex mechanical systems. It enables engineers to model and simulate rigid and flexible body dynamics, contacts, and controls, essential for designing high-performance robotics and machinery.
RSF defines a common language for robot service capability, lifecycle operations, certification pathways, and service-provider networks.
A comprehensive industry analysis of Physical AI — covering Embodied AI, Field AI, Factory AI, VLM, World Model, VLA, and the VLA vs WAM architecture debate. Includes 20+ companies, 28 references, and the RobotToday Physical AI Landscape diagram. July 2026.
A RobotToday engineering deep dive into humanoid robot wire harnesses: 3D dynamic fatigue, 10-100 Gbps EMI shielding, FPC cost reduction, and global standards.
FORT Robotics integrates with NVIDIA Halos for Robotics to deliver Outside-In Safety — extending robot perception beyond onboard sensors via external infrastructure and visual AI agents for safer, higher-throughput autonomous operations.
ISO standards define what a safe robot looks like. RSF defines who should service it. Discover the 5 capability gaps no standard has addressed — until now.
As warehouses deploy robots from multiple vendors, interoperability becomes critical. Learn how robotics orchestration platforms like Roboteon enable seamless multi-vendor AMR integration, fleet management, and plug-and-play automation for distribution centers.
RobotToday.com launches RSF — the robotics industry's first capability certification framework. 6 domains, 4-tier certification.
VisionNav Robotics showcases the VNE40-66 autonomous precision stacking solution, VNE20-07 counterbalance truck, and BrightEye vision platform at Automate 2026 in Chicago, June 22–25.
A balanced analysis of the robot intelligence revolution: multi-vendor digital twin platforms (NVIDIA, Siemens, Dassault, ABB, Rockwell, Hexagon), Physical AI VLA models (RT-2, pi0, GR00T N1, AgiBot), current Physical AI limitations, LLM robot programming, and the OEM readiness matrix across US, European, and Chinese manufacturers.
A comprehensive guide to industrial robot programming language evolution: G-code and NC origins, FANUC KAREL/TP, ABB RAPID, KUKA KRL, Yaskawa INFORM, the ROS open-source revolution, ROS2 architecture, ROS-Industrial consortium, OPC-UA, TSN, and real-time Linux — how six decades of software history define today's factory floor.
From rotary joints hitting 530 N·m+ to linear joints with planetary roller screws, integrated actuators are replacing the three-part drivetrain. Full supplier map: Tihu, PhyArc, RobStride, Schaeffler, maxon — and China's path from 1,000-RMB modules to global standard-setter.
