Robotics Breakthrough 2025

Robotics Breakthrough 2025 surveys the most meaningful upgrades landing in the real world this year: faster low‑cost arms in warehouses, safer mobile robots on factory floors, and new grippers inspired by soft robotics. What matters isn’t hype; it’s reliability, unit economics, and the boring but vital details—uptime, cycle time, and easy maintenance. Humanoids are moving from lab demos to pilot deployments, while AMRs coordinate through smarter fleet software and on‑device vision. The short videos below give a quick, visual primer: a look inside an AI‑driven warehouse, a soft‑robotics gripper demo, and a current humanoid pilot and where it actually fits.

Inside an AI‑Driven Warehouse (Ocado)

A quick look at Ocado’s highly automated fulfillment center and the coordinated fleet that powers it.

OnRobot Soft Gripper (Product Demo)

How compliant soft grippers handle irregular, delicate items—why softness matters for real‑world picking.
