In Episode 159 of The Robotic Report Podcast, editors Steve Crowe and Mike Oitzman talk about the most recent information. On at present’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 initiatives with early entry prospects, and Walti discusses the perfect purposes for the system.

Information of the week
Determine 02 humanoid robotic is able to work in warehouses, factories
Determine AI has unveiled its newest humanoid robotic, Determine 02, a smooth 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, palms 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.
Mushy Robotics exits the gripper enterprise, launches AI-focused firm
Mushy Robotics divested its smooth 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 turbines to finish gripping and clamping techniques.
Mark Chiappetta, president and CEO informed The Robotic Report that Schmalz is buying Mushy Robotics’ mental property in addition to a lot of staff and services.
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 further funding, based on sources. The corporate’s ForgeOS, designed to function throughout varied robotic manufacturers, confronted challenges in gaining traction throughout the manufacturing business.
Whereas robotic programming interfaces have seen important developments and elevated business funding, sources emphasised the intensive coaching and assist supplied by established robotic producers like FANUC.
In response to market challenges, Prepared Robotics initially pivoted in the direction of a palletizing system, a crowded market with quite a few present options. In the end, the corporate shifted its focus to robotics consulting.
Symbotic acquires Veo Robotics
Sources accustomed to 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 protected 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 alter robotic conduct accordingly. Symbotic confirmed that it has acquired Veo’s expertise associated to industrial robotic security and has welcomed the Veo group.
A number of former Veo staff have up to date their LinkedIn profiles to replicate employment at Symbotic.
