Humanoids are all the hype now, but they’re only the flashiest members of a much larger robot family – mobile manipulators. Until recently, these #robots were stuck in R&D labs and pilot projects. Too expensive. Too rigid. Not quite ready for the messy realities of the real world. That’s changed. Thanks to rapid advances in AI, hardware, and mechanical design, mobile manipulators are finally crossing the chasm – from prototype to production. Next week at the Robotics Summit & Expo, I'll be diving into: 👉 the breakthroughs that made this leap possible 👉 why logistics is leading the charge in real-world adoption 👉 how mobile manipulators are already transforming live operations #innovation #robotics Eugene Demaitre Mike Oitzman Steve Crowe Brianna Wessling
