Unstructured bin picking. 3D vision. Pose estimation. Motion planning. Real-time learning. Automation technologies, such as Vention's MachineMotion AI plug-and-play controller, are powering up production lines. Are you ready for it?

Hall of Famer Brian Urlacher joins Jeff Joniak from the @ChicagoBears on the Automate 2026 keynote stage to share how championship habits translate from the field to the factory floor. 👇 Built to Win: The Mindset Behind Championship Performance June 25 | 9 AM CDT 🔗 bit.ly/4rwtm9v

Does plug-and-play motion really simplify integration? When motion systems are designed to work together from the start, complexity drops and time to deployment speeds up. Read more: bit.ly/4u4iP7g

As automation moves into more unstructured environments, vision alone may not be enough. That's where force/torque sensors come in. ⬇️

Engineering the future doesn’t happen all at once. But we have a lineup of tools, technologies, and talks to help pave the way. Find them here: bit.ly/4tCvApD

With naturally zero backlash, strain wave gearing is delivering repeatable accuracy for collaborative robots and applications where precision matters, cycle after cycle. 🎥 @harmonicdrive

In industrial manufacturing, a 5% error rate is a catastrophic failure. Consumer-grade models are insufficient for the factory floor. Reliable industrial AI must hit a 99.5% accuracy threshold to be viable for production environments. #sponsored #infinite_iiot

Industry experts point to three automation technologies reshaping supply chains: → Digital twins + AI → AMRs → Cloud connectivity The takeaway? Future-proofing starts with the right tools AND the right strategy. Watch here: bit.ly/4rr0fou

Stop defects before they leave the line. Neebal’s AI-powered machine vision performs real-time surface analysis to ensure zero-defect manufacturing - at production speed. Learn more: neebal.com #MachineVision #IndustrialAI #ZeroDefects

Accessibility is the key to automation adoption. And Vention gets that. Learn how their machine motion controller leverages off-the-shelf software libraries from @NVIDIA to pick, plan, and understand what’s in the bin—all with significantly less friction.

The signs are there if you know where to look 😏

We are SO excited to announce another exciting keynote session to the #Automate2026 lineup 🥁 Evan Beard, co-founder & CEO of @standardbots will take the stage to provide a clear-eyed look at how physical AI is unlocking millions of new tasks for automation. Learn more here: bit.ly/45UoPFs
