About
What this publication is for
Robotic Industries covers robot development for the people who have to build, integrate, certify or pay for the machine. It is written in English for a worldwide readership, and it is deliberately narrow: industrial and collaborative arms, mobile robots, humanoids, perception, actuators, control software, safety standards and the economics that decide whether any of it gets bought.
The rules we write by
- One question per article, answered in the opening paragraph. If you read a single sentence and leave, the article still did its job.
- Every number carries a source. Standards bodies, statistics offices, regulators and manufacturer documentation come before commentary. Sources are listed at the foot of each article.
- One decisive comparison. A table, a cost breakdown or a threshold you can act on. "Both have advantages" is not a finding.
- We say when we do not know. Where a figure is disputed or a standard is still in draft, the article says so rather than inventing precision.
What we do not do
There is no paid placement on this site, no vendor pays for coverage, and no article is written to order. If that ever changes for a specific piece, it will be marked as advertising at the top of the page, in plain words.
Corrections
If a figure here is wrong, we want to know. Write to info@nextao.de with the article and the source that contradicts it. Corrections are made in the article itself, with the change noted.
Images
Photographs on this site are generated with AI and illustrate the subject. They are not documentary records of a specific machine, plant or person.

Who writes here
Arden Kovil
Arden Kovil writes about industrial robot cells, actuators and machine safety. His focus is the gap between a datasheet figure and what the cell does on the third shift.
Anika Sorel
Anika Sorel covers robot software, perception and learned control. She reads the papers, then asks what survives contact with a real gripper.
Aurel Nadin
Aurel Nadin follows mobile robots, humanoid programmes and the money behind them. He tracks shipment numbers rather than launch videos.
