Toyota Industries Launched Rinova Autonomous
Recently, Toyota Industries Corporation, through its Toyota L&F business unit, officially launched a new autonomous forklift, the “Rinova Autonomous,” targeting the “truck loading and unloading” scenario, which has long been considered one of the most challenging tasks.
Toyota Industries is one of the core manufacturing companies of the Toyota Group and a global leader in industrial vehicles and logistics systems. Its Toyota L&F business unit handles its forklift and logistics solutions business. Since 1986, Toyota Industries has been commercializing automated guided forklifts and automated guided vehicles in factories and warehouses, continuously expanding its automated product line. The newly released Rinova Autonomous can be seen as an extension of its automation capabilities from “warehouse automation” to the critical interface of truck loading and unloading.
IPLUSMOBOT Unveliled Two Wheeled Humanoid Robots
Recently, IPLUSMOBOT and Zhejiang Humanoid Robot Innovation Center jointly released two wheeled humanoid robots. The two wheeled humanoid robots use differential drive and omnidirectional drive chassis respectively, allowing them to flexibly navigate complex routes; their compact body and high-rigidity chassis design ensure both stable load-bearing capacity and efficient maneuverability, significantly expanding their working radius and scene adaptability; their anthropomorphic dexterous operation allows for seamless integration into work processes; and their autonomous intelligent core enables closed-loop decision-making.
Currently, they have been successfully applied in industrial assembly, garment manufacturing, exhibition hall guidance, supermarket sales, education and training, and many other fields, demonstrating excellent versatility and scalability, helping users achieve intelligent transformation.
Hyundai and Samsung Collaborated to Create Construction Material Handling Robots
Samsung C&T Corporation’s Engineering & Construction Division and Hyundai Engineering & Construction, two South Korean construction giants that have long been fierce competitors in the market, are collaborating on construction sites through “robotics + automation,” jointly developing construction material handling robots.
The robot is specifically designed for high-frequency, heavy-duty material transportation tasks on construction sites, which are often associated with high accident risks. According to publicly available information, the robot uses 3D imaging technology to identify the shape of the pallet and the position of the forklift slots, enabling automatic positioning and automatic “forking” of materials; equipped with an autonomous driving module with simplified simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) algorithms, it can plan paths, identify obstacles, and automatically navigate around them in complex construction site environments full of rebar, scaffolding, and material stockpiles; it also integrates transportation operation management and a robot control system, and has the ability to automatically connect to charging stations, facilitating continuous multi-shift operation in large-scale projects with long construction periods.
Elite Robots Launched New Generation of Composite Robot
On December 26, Elite Robots officially launched its new generation of compoisite robot. This groundbreaking product, with its integrated “hand, foot, eye, and brain” four-dimensional architecture, subverts traditional product design logic. The new product is equipped with an intelligent scheduling integrated system, supporting omnidirectional flexible movement; its core power comes from the deep empowerment of multi-modal large models, innovatively achieving “one brain, multiple forms” intelligent interaction.
KILOX Released Inspection and Operation Robot DDXS
Recently, KILOX officially released its self-developed inspection and operation robot DDXS. DDXS is an intelligent inspection and operation robot that integrates autonomous movement, precise perception, and dexterous operation. It deeply integrates an autonomous mobile robot chassis, a high-degree-of-freedom collaborative robotic arm, and a high-precision 3D vision positioning system. It can not only efficiently replace or assist manual workers in daily inspection work, but also autonomously perform standardized routine operation tasks, truly achieving full-process automation from “finding problems” to “solving problems,” and is tailor-made for indoor industrial scenarios such as power distribution rooms, switch rooms, and production workshops.
CMAL Unveiled AGV-CC2000L-D Forklift Stacker
Recently, CMAL launched its self-developed AGV-CC2000L-D forklift stacker. This stacker was developed by the intelligent equipment integration R&D team of SEMI, and features both lightweight design and high stability. The vehicle weighs only 1,400kg, and based on a single steering wheel design, it can flexibly adapt to narrow warehouses and complex terrain; the rated load reaches 2,000kg, and the maximum stacking height is 5.5 meters, fully covering the handling needs of 4-5-story high-bay racks. Even when fully loaded, the speed can still reach 1 m/s, and it increases to 1.5 m/s when unloaded, truly achieving both heavy-duty performance and high efficiency.
