As the robotics sector steadily moves from science fiction to factory floor, a new generation of humanoid robots is emerging to reshape industry, healthcare, and daily life.
Offering a wide range of output forces with short lead times for industrial applications
The latest trends in robotics can be experienced at HANNOVER MESSE 2026 from April 20 to 24.
A high-caliber panel of robotics experts has announced the nominees for the coveted ROBOTICS AWARD 2026. The award honors companies driving groundbreaking advances in industrial development with their innovative robot assisted solutions in the fields of automation and logistics. Three companies particularly impressed the jury and made it onto the shortlist.
Exclusive software partnership for optimized motor sizing
Agricultural autonomy isn’t just about removing the driver; it’s about creating intelligent machines capable of locating themselves, interpreting their surroundings, and acting in real-time, even under challenging conditions.
Our Custom-made Product RFS-5
Precisely tailored to the requirements of automated industrial processes
Siemens launches a one-stop security platform for managing communication connections in OT networks. With virtualized network structures it protects shop floor devices from targeted attacks and unauthorized access.
The AX-1 robot from Norwegian start-up Kilter applies herbicides to weeds with such precision that the use of chemicals is reduced by up to 95% thanks to AI and sensor technology. To ensure that the autonomous helper is also gentle on the soil, the developers rely on lightweight and lubricationfree linear technology from the igus drylin series.
For dimensional inspection even with strong vibrations
They walk, grip, balance - and fascinate with their human-like appearance: humanoid robots.
Ensure accurate measurements and safe processes by overcoming the challenges of precision flow metering
David Hawley, ABB’s Global Head of Sales for IEC Low Voltage Motors, notes that while superior performance, reliability & efficiency are essential factors influencing electric motor selection, availability is also key to achieving ambitious energy goals

Scalable technology for quantum computers through spatial light modulators
Increased measurement zones for 3D distance and object detection
Precise, modular drive units with high power density
The I/O module controls stepper motors with Modbus/TCP, Ethernet/IP, or PROFINET interface to host PC, PLC or PAC
Event-based cameras optimise flow analysis in science and industry
Integrated solution saves up to 40 % length
For pure compressed air with optimum energy efficiency
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) has been the hero in the fight against friction and wear for years. However, there is also the other side of the coin: as a persistent material, PTFE is currently the focus of the discussion about a possible PFAS ban by the ECHA. Even if there is no ban, the motion plastics pioneer igus has good reasons to look for alternatives. With new formulations, extensive tests and adapted production processes, igus already offers its customers a wide range of PTFE-free products. Author: Dr-Ing. Magnus Orth is Head of Material Development and the Technical Centre at igus.
USB3 cameras for precise capture of fast-moving objects with less data
Realising a compact harvesting vehicle with energy chains
At this year's HANNOVER MESSE from 31 March to 4 April, drive technology and fluid power will play a special role. Under the "Motion & Drives" banner, these industry segments will once again demonstrate their strength and importance by showcasing a wide range of products, from innovative and intelligent individual components to complete systems.
The transition to 'smarter' technologies is gathering pace in all sectors of industry, and wherever motion control applications require smooth and efficient movement, 'smart' bearings have emerged as a revolutionary innovation. So what are smart bearings?
The Application Park will be one of the highlights of HANNOVER MESSE this year and present new and exciting robotics applications. Visitors can have a look there at intelligent robot systems, autonomous driving devices in operation, the latest AI applications in robotics, image recognition tools and virtual platforms.
For remote and hazardous environments where simple optical design offers significant benefits - Resolve Optics has developed a new optically compensated zoom lens design that vastly reduces the moving parts to just a single push pull movement.
All-in-one interface for control and visualization
Automatic object detection is growing ever more sophisticated, yet the accurate detection of humans still poses unique challenges. This article explores what it is that makes humans so difficult to reliably detect, and how successfully navigating these obstacles could usher in a new era of productivity.
MEMS/gyroscope sensors with CANopen interface for mobile equipment
The newly developed D-Ankle prosthesis from Design Pro Technology makes this possible. Instead of the usual passive suspension at the foot components, the prosthesis assists its user by means of motor power. As is the case with a natural gait, the artificial foot is actively bent up and down with each step. The gait becomes more harmonious, more stable and less tiring. An intelligent controller finds the correct gait rhythm and a brushless motor from FAULHABER provides the necessary propulsion.
Rubber abrasion on airport runways must be removed quickly and thoroughly. Together, tl traffic-lines GmbH and Maschinenbau Cernota GmbH & Co. KG have developed a cleaning process that is much more efficient than previous methods. High-precision rack and pinion gears from LEANTECHNIK play an important role in this process.
