Automate 2026: AMRs, cobots, humanoids, orchestration platforms, software systems & more

Kassow Robots introduced new models to its KR series, including the KR 1824, which uses its signature, seven-axis design to bring collaborative robotics into higher-payload applications without compromising flexibility, compactness or ease of deployment. With the introduction of new models like the KR 1824, the company enables manufacturers to automate more demanding, higher-payload processes - bridging the gap between traditional industrial and collaborative robots. Designed for easy integration into modern production environments, the new cobots support a wide range of applications, including palletizing, machine tending and material handling. Their compact design enables deployment in space-constrained environments, with both external and EDGE integrated controller options supporting mobile and modular setups. The new models also deliver improved motion performance, including 50% higher joint torque, more than 20% faster wrist joint speeds, and 40% increased mechanical stiffness. These enhancements enable more stable handling of heavier loads, faster cycle times, and improved precision in demanding applications. Kassow Robots, kassowrobots.com, Booth 2036
