Robotics and automation innovations highlighted in new product launches and LogiMAT awards

Recent technological advancements in robotics and automation have been highlighted through new product launches and industry awards.

Segway Navimow introduced the Navimow H5 Pro, a robotic lawnmower featuring ‘Edgemaestro’ technology. This device uses an extendable arm to mow edges seamlessly, reducing the need for manual trimming. The mower also incorporates AI-driven navigation for complex gardens and a thermal sensor designed to protect hedgehogs by detecting them even in low light.

At the LogiMAT 2026 trade fair, three innovations were recognized with the ‘LogiMAT best Product’ award. The Ehrhardt Partner Group received the award in the software category for its EPG Aura Observer, an AI system that performs real-time video analysis to improve warehouse safety and transparency. CeiliX Technology GmbH won in the logistics technology category for its SkyBot, described as the world’s first mobile, omnidirectional ceiling-mounted cobot. Additionally, Norway’s Sonair AS was honored for its ADAR sensor technology, which uses 3D ultrasonic sensors to provide autonomous machines with omnidirectional depth perception for safer human-robot collaboration.
