Proxima Robotics

The future of industrial automation is happening right now. And I’m honoured to be part of it with Proxima Robotics. This Thursday, November 20th, I will join Bosch in Milan as speaker during ctrlX AUTOMATION Week 2025, the flagship event dedicated to those who want to build the next era of automation. The industrial world is undergoing a transformation we have never experienced before: AI, robotics and ROS2 are redefining how automation is designed, deployed, and scaled. During the panel "AI Revolution, Today: strumenti moderni per l’automazione del futuro", we will discuss how AI and robotics can move beyond the lab and become real industrial value, through edge intelligence, open platforms and safe update cycles. Proud to share the stage with top industry experts: • Paolo Lonati, Sales Development Growing Markets – Bosch Rexroth (Host) • Luca Magnabosco, Project Manager Innovation & Advanced Technologies – NTT DATA A huge thank you to Bosch Rexroth for the invitation and for building one of the most open and visionary automation ecosystems in the world. If you work in: robotic development, automation, industrial R&D, machinery, AI integration, or OEM solutions, this is one of those events you don’t want to miss. 🔗 Free registration: https://lnkd.in/dzPNFkmG See you in Milan or online, let's build the next chapter of automation together.

Everyone builds their first robot on ROS2. Almost no one scales their company on it. ROS2 is flexible, modular, powerful, but when robots meet real-world operations, teams hit the same roadblocks:  • Instability under 24/7 workloads  • Complex maintenance & updates  • Few user-friendly tools for non-devs  • Endless integration pain Join our live online workshop to learn:  • The real economics of build vs. buy  • The hidden costs of prototyping with ROS2  • How Proxima Compass adds the industrial-grade robustness, integration, and scalability ROS2 is missing (any sensor, easy to configure, production-ready) For robot manufacturers, system integrators, and R&D teams ready to move beyond prototyping and scale to production. Very cool presents included.   Reserve your seat below 👇 https://lnkd.in/d2ncS8gP

The AMR market will reach $21B by 2030. But most robots being built today will never reach production. Here’s why: ROS2 is fantastic for prototyping. It’s flexible, modular, open-source, and fast to iterate on. But when you try to scale a ROS2-based robot into real industrial environments, a very different set of problems emerges: • 24/7 stability • Safety and compliance • Sensor interoperability • Updates and maintainability • Tools for non-developers • Production-grade reliability And this gap between prototype and production is where most AMR projects slow down or fail. This is exactly why we’re hosting a live workshop: “From ROS2 to the Real World: Building the Next Generation of Industrial AMRs” November 26th — 5:00 PM CET Proxima Robotics A practical, engineering-focused session for robot manufacturers, ROS2 developers, system integrators, and R&D teams. What we’ll cover: • Build or Buy? The real economics of robot development • The hidden cost of relying only on ROS2 • How Proxima Compass adds the robustness, interoperability, and scalability needed for real industrial deployment—while staying fully ROS2-compatible If you’re building AMRs or planning to scale them in 2025, this session will likely save you months of development and thousands in engineering costs.

Innovation is served. The global restaurant robotics market is worth over $5B in 2024 and will reach $21B by 2033 (CAGR 17.8%). Growth is driven by fast food, fast casual, food logistics, and autonomous delivery. Asia-Pacific (APAC) leads the expansion (+15% YoY), followed by North America and Europe. Restaurants adopting mobile robots report: ✅ +25% faster service ✅ +15% higher average order value ✅ +20% customer satisfaction Robots now combine LiDAR, 3D vision, predictive AI, autonomous navigation for crowded spaces, and voice/touch interfaces. Yet many rely on open-source ROS2 stacks, not suited for continuous industrial use due to stability, security, and maintenance issues. This is where Proxima Compass makes the difference: robust, modular, easy to integrate, compatible with multi-sensor setups, adaptable to dynamic layouts, and ready for 24/7 operation. With Proxima Compass, manufacturers move from prototype to commercial product, reducing development time and cost — essential for hospitality, cleaning, and delivery robots seeking industrial-grade plug & play solutions. The next evolution of hospitality isn’t just automated — it’s intelligent, scalable, and ready for real-world impact. #ProximaRobotics #ProximaCompass #RestaurantRobotics #MobileRobotics #HospitalityTech #Automation

The age of mobile robotics is now — and logistics is just the beginning. Recent analyses show how mobile robots, powered by AI and advanced navigation, are transforming warehousing and industry. We’ve now surpassed 4 million industrial robots worldwide, with growth extending into sectors far beyond traditional manufacturing. What’s driving this shift? ✅ Flexibility over fixed infrastructure ✅ Integration with intelligence for real-time decision-making ✅ The ability to scale quickly across indoor environments At Proxima Robotics, we’re right at the center of this transition. Our mission — making autonomous navigation accessible, reliable, and adaptable — aligns perfectly with this evolving ecosystem. We see a future where robots don’t just transport — they learn, adapt, optimize, and collaborate. #ProximaRobotics #MobileRobotics #Automation #AI #Industry #LogisticsInnovation

👉 What do you use for building 𝐔𝐬𝐞𝐫 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐨𝐭𝐬? At Proxima Robotics we’ve been exploring how web technologies can power the interfaces for robotic systems. Because let’s be honest — opening Chrome is easier than installing a stack of dependencies and native clients. ✅ Web apps make life simpler for users: no setup, instant updates, and access from anywhere. But it’s not all smooth sailing — the web wasn’t built to talk to robots, so there’s real work in making protocols, latency, and security play nicely. 🤝Still, the trade-off feels worth it. The web is becoming a natural layer between humans and machines — flexible, scalable, and (mostly) hassle-free. Curious to hear from my network: Have you gone full web, or do you still prefer native solutions?

Precision in motion. Proxima Robotics has developed a customized version of Proxima Compass for the Helko robots by Eureka System — featuring a patented cart coupling system for goods transportation and production line automation. This collaboration showcases what true industrial autonomy looks like: 🔹 Modular architecture managing Helko’s patented trolley system 🔹 Flexible and robust performance across different industrial environments 🔹 Millimeter-level precision for automatic trolley docking When reliability meets adaptability, robotics becomes a real advantage for industry. 👉 Read the full case study: https://lnkd.in/dAXyCQGt #ProximaRobotics #ProximaCompass #Helko #EurekaSystem #CaseStudy #IndustrialAutomation #MobileRobotics #Innovation
