Hanwha Robotics announced on the 26th that it participated in Automatica 2025, the world’s leading trade fair for automation and robotics, held in Munich, Germany. This marks the company’s first-ever appearance at the event.

Under the theme “A Further Future,” Hanwha Robotics presented a wide lineup of advanced automation technologies—including its full range of collaborative robots (cobots), autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), and mobile manipulators that integrate cobots with mobile platforms.

Among the highlights was the public debut of the HCR-32, a high-payload cobot capable of lifting objects weighing up to 32 kg. This model is ideal for handling heavy items such as solar panels and battery modules. The on-site demo featured the HCR-32 lifting solar panels, along with a preview of its integrated 3D vision-based “Visual Safety” system, which automatically slows or halts the robot when a human approaches.

The HCR-10L, officially released earlier this year, also gained attention for its Motion Tracking feature. With an extended reach of up to 1,800 mm, the robot was shown performing a powder coating task on a car hood model. As a human operator moved a handheld controller, the robot tracked the motion path, memorized it, and repeated the movements with precision.

Cobots optimized for welding were also featured. The PAKABOT, a boxed welding automation system, enhances safety by enclosing the welding process within a modular unit. Meanwhile, the HCR-5W is a lightweight, compact welding robot designed for tight spaces—offering a practical solution for shipbuilding and offshore industrial sites.

A multi-robot control system was introduced as well, capable of operating two cobots simultaneously using a single controller. The demo system utilized the open-source ROS (Robot Operating System) platform, enabling easy and flexible software development. Visitors could also experience Robot AI Vision, Hanwha’s AI-powered object recognition system, during a depalletizing demonstration.

In addition to cobots, Hanwha Robotics unveiled its latest AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) and AMRs (Autonomous Mobile Robots). The mobile manipulator, combining mobility and manipulation capabilities, attracted significant attention. These robots can move freely in industrial environments, making them ideal for flexible workspace applications.

A Hanwha Robotics spokesperson commented,
“In the European market, the application of collaborative robots is rapidly expanding beyond traditional automation tasks like pick-and-place to include areas such as welding. Our goal is to go beyond supplying hardware—we aim to provide optimized solutions tailored to each industry, strengthening our position in the market.”Rs, with spotlight on mobile manipulator.
