Squid climbs racks from floor to ceiling, sorting and putting away items with remarkable efficiency. Here’s why this matters for you : → Efficiency Boost    ↳ Squid streamlines sorting and put-away tasks, reducing time spent on manual labor. → Safety First   ↳ With built-in cameras and sensors, these robots navigate around people and obstacles, ensuring a safer working environment. → Seamless Integration   ↳ No need for a complete overhaul, Squid adapts to your existing warehouse operations effortlessly. This isn’t just tech for tech’s sake, It’s about transforming your warehouse into a faster, safer, and more efficient space.

Today, we are taking the next big step for DeepDrive: the official launch of DeepDrive Robotics. We are finally able to talk about what we've worked on in the background over the last year: applying the DeepDrive Dual Rotor technology to robotic joint modules - the most torque-dense and energy-efficient actuator at high volume and low cost. This is the consistent next step for us: We live in the age of electrification - electrifying everything from cars, drones to human(oid)s. All these applications need electric motors. And moving away from today's state-of-the-art technology, we developed "motor 2.0": Highest efficiency and torque density at lowest cost in all mobile applications. We cracked the automotive market and are scaling high volume production in the hundreds of thousands of units. Our automotive DNA drives our quality, cost and manufacturing standards - while staying a highly innovative and flexible scale-up. Now we apply this same mindset, discipline and groundbreaking tech to the next field. We've started working with some of the most prominent robotics players in the world and are overwhelmed by the feedback. I am incredibly excited for this next stage of DeepDrive.

What if the first set of eyes on your equipment didn’t have to be human? SK Godelius uses robotic inspection technology to bring visibility into areas where traditional inspections can be difficult, repetitive or potentially hazardous. Equipped with cameras and inspection technology, robotic platforms can move through industrial environments while operators monitor conditions remotely and collect valuable information about critical assets. The result? Better visibility into your operation while reducing unnecessary personnel exposure. Inspect remotely. Identify issues earlier. Put people where their expertise matters most.

A massive energy unlock.  We’re expanding our partnership with Redwood Materials to collaborate across the full lifecycle of Rivian battery packs. A battery pack that’s no longer right for a high-performance EV doesn’t have to be done. It can be repurposed into stationary energy storage to support grid reliability and store clean energy. And when it truly reaches the end of the road, it can be recycled. Battery scrap and end-of-life packs go back through the process, recovering over 95% of critical minerals—including lithium, nickel, cobalt, and copper—for a domestic supply chain. Building on our initial energy storage deployment at our manufacturing plant in Normal, Illinois, we’re proving how a fully circular battery ecosystem can power a cleaner, more resilient future.

Deere is selling autonomous tillage as an extra pair of hands! 🚜 Field autonomy never struggled with driving a straight line. AutoTrac solved that years ago. It actuallt struggled with trusting what the cameras saw, on a machine that vibrates all day, flexes under draft load and swings tens of degrees between a cold morning and a dusty afternoon. John Deere says that exact trio, vibration, mechanical tolerance and temperature variation, is what capped the first-generation system. A camera that has drifted reports the wrong depth, and the tractor either stops for nothing or fails to stop for something. The second-generation perception system goes at that directly: → 16 cameras, 360° around the tractor and the tillage tool → coverage deliberately overlapped so cameras cross-check each other and recalibrate in real time, in the field → NVIDIA Orin GPUs running inference onboard → detection range up from 16 m to 24 m, which Deere says buys 40% more speed and implements twice as wide Calibration confidence converts into ground speed. Why? Because it sees further, trusts it, and drives faster. This ships as a retrofit. You can see it also in the video with phantom driver! ~~  ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news → ziegler.substack.com

A robot making fresh sandwiches at the checkout counter. In a supermarket. Right in front of you. Bizerba and FANUC Europe built this. Slicing, spreading sauces, assembling, packaging. All without human hands touching the food. The business case is simple: fresh food counters are one of the hardest areas to staff and one of the most hygiene-sensitive. Labor-intensive, low margin, high turnover. This doesn't just automate the task, it improves it. The technical challenge here is real: soft, deformable ingredients, precise portion control, contact-free handling, all in an open retail environment. This is not a warehouse. This is a supermarket checkout. And it works. Physical AI is automating everything we thought needed human hands.
