A new series of industrial robot arms was launched at Foxglove Actuate 2026. Built from sheet metal using stamped and folded processes instead of machining, the design aims for fast, repeatable, and cheap scaling similar to American automotive manufacturing. The robots boast a 25,000-hour operational life, with preorders opening soon.
