Yaskawa at Automatica 2025: AI meets robotics

At this year's Automatica, everything at Yaskawa (Hall B6, Stand 502) revolves around AI-based robotics solutions for the smart factory and beyond. As a trade fair highlight, the manufacturer will be presenting its new Motoman Next product concept.
At Automatica 2025 from June 24 - 27, Yaskawa will be showcasing intelligent robotics solutions in actual practice under the trade fair motto "Redefining Adaptive Robotic Automation". They will demonstrate the wide-ranging potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in automation: corresponding approaches can be found in established sectors such as industrial sheet metal processing. Yaskawa is now supporting the realization of corresponding AI robotics solutions with a new Motoman Next product concept, which is celebrating its premiere at Automatica. The range includes components from Yaskawa and partners. Third-party systems can also be integrated. Motoman Next thus enables consistently simple implementation and makes it easier for companies of all sizes to get started with AI-based automation.
Intelligent robotics solutions from Yaskawa
The new portfolio for intelligent robotics solutions is integrated into Yaskawa's i³ Mechatronics concept. With comprehensive automation, drive, control and robotics solutions, it offers practical, scalable answers to the challenges of Industry 4.0. Yaskawa utilizes synergies as a global technology supplier for robotics as well as for drive and control technology. At the Automatica stand, a demo handling cell illustrates the interaction of numerous Yaskawa components and systems in the context of skill-based industrial processes. In addition to the new iCube control platform, the new Sigma-X servo system is also used in the i3 Mechatronics overall solution. Last but not least, Yaskawa will be showcasing the latest industrial robots and cobots from its existing portfolio: the versatile 6-axis handling robots from the Motoman GP series now cover payloads of between 4 and 600 kg. Cobots are constantly conquering new areas of application, in welding and palletizing as well as in the life sciences sector.
