Mobile Robotics Summit, 8-9.10, Dusseldorf
Modern robot technologies and artificial intelligence are already revolutionizing processes in production, warehousing, and logistics today. Current developments in industry and logistics – such as the increasing shortage of skilled workers, rapidly advancing digitalization, and the growing pressure for sustainable and efficient processes – illustrate how urgently innovative solutions are needed. What opportunities does the use of mobile robotic systems offer companies – and what risks need to be addressed? At the new Mobile Robotics Summit you will find answers to these questions. Discuss with Top-Experts about the future of robotics, the transformation of business processes through automation, and the impact of artificial intelligence on modern business processes.
The Mobile Robotics Summit is not just a trade fair – it is a think tank for everyone who wants to actively drive the automation of their processes. Here, science and practice, startups and global players, technology providers and users come together. Whether you are interested in autonomous transport vehicles, intelligent fleet management, the integration of robotics into Industry 4.0 architectures, or the future of AI-supported automation – at the Summit you will find the relevant answers.
Our Business Development Manager David Lopez participates in the event. Make sure to connect with him and have a chat about our solutions and offerings in this field.

AGV-Network hosted webinar with Navitec Systems, 22.10, online
Organised by AGV Network: 𝗢𝘂𝘁𝗱𝗼𝗼𝗿 𝗡𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗠𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝗥𝗼𝗯𝗼𝘁𝘀: Challenges, Sensors, and the Future Ahead.
When we think about mobile robots , most people imagine clean factory floors and perfect lighting conditions. But there’s a world outside with uneven terrain, rain, fog, mixed indoor–outdoor environments (what can kill sensing capabilities). Outdoor navigation is a huge opportunity but it is one of the toughest frontiers for mobile robots.
Today, several technologies are shaping the field:
RTK-GNSS, 2D LiDAR, 3D LiDAR, IMUs, and visual SLAM.
Each has its strengths, and its limitations.
➡️ GNSS provides absolute positioning in open yards but struggles near walls.
➡️ 2D LiDAR is reliable indoors, but blind to height.
➡️ 𝟯𝗗 𝗟𝗶𝗗𝗔𝗥, supported by RTK-GNSS and IMUs, is now proving to be the most balanced option for all-weather, all-surface navigation.
Weather, lighting, vibrations, and even the transition between indoor and outdoor areas are real challenges that we face every day.
And yet, the technology is now ready, thanks to sensor fusion, advanced fleet management systems, and new localization algorithms that make autonomy reliable in complex outdoor spaces.
That’s exactly what we’ll discuss in our upcoming joint webinar with GIM Robotics and Navitec Systems.
We’ll go deep into:
1️⃣ The current state of outdoor navigation technologies
2️⃣ Real-world use cases from ports, airports, and construction sites
3️⃣ How to design reliable systems for large, open environments
If your company is considering developing or deploying outdoor mobile robots, this session will help you understand which navigation methods really work.

IROS25, 19-25.10, China
The 2025 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS 2025) will be held from October 19 to 25, 2025 in Hangzhou, China. IROS is one of the most important robotics conferences in the world and impactful forum for the international robotics research community to explore the frontier of science and technology in intelligent robots and smart machines, emphasizing future directions and the latest approaches, designs, and outcomes. In addition to technical sessions and multi-media presentations, IROS conferences also hold panel discussions, forums, workshops, tutorials, exhibits, and technical tours to enrich the fruitful discussions among conference attendees.
Workshop on Perception and Navigation for Autonomous Heavy Machines in Shared Environments
Automation is rapidly advancing in off-road industries, creating an urgent need for research on autonomy in unstructured and dynamic environments. Autonomous heavy vehicles – such as trucks, excavators, and loaders – are transforming construction, mining, and logistics by improving safety, efficiency, and reliability. However, deploying these systems presents three major challenges: perception in harsh environments, navigation across unstructured terrains, and human-vehicle collaboration in shared workspaces. Perception systems struggle to detect and classify obstacles in harsh conditions such as fog and uneven lighting. Navigation and motion planning must address difficulties in planning safe and efficient trajectories on slippery, muddy, or uneven terrains, while considering vehicles size, weight, and limited maneuverability. As autonomous systems are often deployed alongside human-driven machines and in human-populated environments, human-vehicle collaboration in shared workspaces poses additional safety and efficiency challenges.
This workshop will bring together robotics researchers and industry experts to address these challenges, with a focus on reliable perception, adaptive motion planning, and human-aware autonomy. Unlike previous workshops that have primarily focused on urban driving, structured industrial settings, or general field robotics, this event will specifically target the challenges of autonomous off-road heavy vehicle in highly un- structured and shared environments.
This workshop aligns closely with IROS 2025s mission to advance cutting-edge robotics research and expand the focus on autonomous heavy vehicles — an underrepresented yet high-impact robotics domain. By integrating perspectives from academia and industry, this event will contribute to shaping future research direc- tions and provide collaborative opportunities to accelerate the real-world deployment of autonomous heavy vehicles.
Our CEO and co-founder Dr. Jari Saarinen’s talk “Real-World Applications of Autonomy: Insights from GIM Robotics on Heavy Machinery Navigation” highlights our long hostory in this field. If you are participating in IROS 2025 make sure to book a slot for his presentation (Oct. 20th, 16:20 – 16:45).
