en.Wedoany.com Reported - Agile Robots showcased its portfolio of industrial robots, embodied AI, and humanoid robotics technologies at Robot Technology Japan (RTJ) 2026, as the company continues to expand its global automation market presence.
The Munich-based company exhibited its latest force control systems, collaborative robots, humanoid robot platforms, and AI-driven automation technologies at the exhibition in Nagoya, Japan. The event covered a range of industrial automation solutions, with Agile Robots highlighting what it describes as the integration of artificial intelligence with physical robotics through advanced force control and physical AI.
The company stated that its robots utilize high-precision force sensing, joint-level torque sensing, and control cycles operating at 1 kHz to continuously adjust movements based on real-time feedback. This technology is designed to automate tasks traditionally challenging for industrial robots, including precision insertion, electronic assembly, and variant component handling.
Agile Robots reports that it has deployed over 20,000 robotic systems to date. The showcased systems included the Diana 7 collaborative robot, demonstrated in automotive wiring applications, and the Thor 7 Pro, which uses real-time force monitoring to perform engine cylinder head assembly tasks, verifying correct component placement. The company also presented the AgileCore robot software platform, which integrates robots, vision systems, force control devices, mobile robots, and industrial controllers into a unified development environment.
Beyond industrial automation, Agile Robots highlighted advancements in embodied AI through Franka Robotics, which became part of the Agile Robots group in 2023. Demonstrations included a dual-arm Franka Research 3 system integrated with Nvidia Isaac GR00T, as well as teleoperation technologies designed to support data collection and AI policy training.
Prior to this exhibition, Agile Robots has achieved several milestones this year, including the launch of the Agile ONE humanoid robot, the acquisition of thyssenkrupp Automation Engineering, and the establishment of a strategic research partnership with Google DeepMind. Under the DeepMind collaboration, Agile Robots plans to integrate its industrial robot platform with Google's Gemini Robotics foundation model to develop robots with enhanced reasoning, adaptation, and autonomous decision-making capabilities. The company stated that these initiatives are part of a broader strategy to accelerate the deployment of physical AI systems in real-world manufacturing environments, aiming to create a feedback loop between robot deployment, operational data, and AI-driven learning.
