German robotics and automation experts expect the industry’s gross revenue to grow by 9%, reaching 15.7 billion euros (over $17 billion) by the end of 2023, according to the VDMA Robotics + Automation Association. 

“Demand for robotics and automation remains high and the transformation of many customer industries requires innovative automation solutions. The easing in supply chain disruptions is now putting the industry in a position to successively work off the enormously high order backlog,” Frank Konrad, Chairman of the VDMA R+A Association and CEO of Hahn Automation GmbH in Rheinböllen, Germany, said. 

The VDMA R+A Association is a trade association that is made up of more than 370 member companies. These companies include suppliers of components and systems from the fields of robotics, integrated assembly systems and machine vision. 

Germany was the fourth most automated country worldwide in 2020 and 2021, with the country reaching 397 industrial robots for every 10,000 employees in 2021, according to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR). 

Within the automotive industry, which has the largest number of robots working in factories around the world, Germany has 1,500 robots for every 10,000 employees, according to the IFR. This makes it the country with the second-highest robot density in the automotive industry, coming just below South Korea.

Chipotle Mexican Grill announced Autocado, an avocado processing cobotic prototype that cuts, cores, and peels avocados before they are hand mashed to create the restaurant’s famous guacamole. The prototype, developed in collaboration with Vebu , is currently being tested at the Chipotle Cultivate Center in Irvine , California.  How Autocado works  A team member loads Autocado with a full case of ripe avocados and selects the size setting. Autocado can hold up to 25 lbs. of avocados at once. One at a time, avocados are vertically oriented, then transferred to the processing device. The avocados are sliced in half. Their cores and skin are automatically removed, and the waste is discarded.  The fruit is safely collected in a stainless-steel bowl at the bottom of the device.  A team member removes the bowl of avocado fruit and moves it to the counter where they add additional ingredients and hand mash the avocados to make Chipotle’s signature guacamole.  How the Autocado idea s

Intrinsic tested its latest platform and Flowstate with Comau , an Italian-based robot manufacturer and global systems integrator. Comau has been working with Intrinsic for several years now to validate Intrinsic’s platform technology and developer product, Flowstate, through real-world use cases.  Flowstate, announced earlier this year in May , is a robotic software development platform. It’s Intrinsic’s first developer product built on the Intrinsic platform. Comau was also introduced as the company’s first industry partner in May.  The Intrinsic Flowstate software  adds a layer of abstraction to traditional robotic software tools with the goal of reducing the development skillset required while making it easier than ever before to program a robot in simulation. “Partnering with Comau over the years has brought our team a tremendous amount of expertise, knowledge, and real-world use cases to focus our efforts on. We’re excited for what’s next and what it will mean to the solutio
