RobotPlusPlus, an engineering-led developer of working-at-height robots, is extending automation across industrial maintenance with its HighMate Series for industrial cleaning and corrosion control, led by the HighMate AP-F-CO Coating Robot+VOC Recovery System. The systems, presented at SMM 2026 in Hamburg, cut workers’ exposure to hazardous work at height while improving cleaning and surface-treatment efficiency and […]

Researchers at Dongguk University in South Korea have developed a flexible, battery-free electronic device that can harvest energy from human movement and use it to power neuromorphic sensing and learning functions. The technology could eventually be used in wearable health-monitoring systems, electronic skin, smart prosthetics, human-machine interfaces and intelligent motion-monitoring devices without requiring conventional batteries […]

The European TALOS project has completed three years of testing autonomous robots and AI for solar power plant maintenance, demonstrating the technology at sites in Spain, Portugal and the Netherlands. Funded through Horizon Europe, TALOS has developed a system that monitors solar plants, identifies performance problems, determines which maintenance jobs are economically worthwhile and recommends […]
