Techman Robot has successfully implemented Taiwan’s first-ever “AI Robot-Powered Self-Service Book Retrieval System” in Taoyuan City, leveraging its cutting-edge AI vision and smart collaborative technology. This innovative system integrates the TM AI Cobot, a smart robotic arm, with an autonomous mobile robot (AMR) to create an automated and intelligent book handling process, setting a new milestone for human-robot collaboration in libraries.

AI Vision and Smart Collaboration Usher in a New Era of Library Automation

Powered by built-in AI vision and high-precision motion control, the TM AI Cobot can autonomously identify the locations of books, navigate pathways, and recognize placement areas. After a reader reserves a book through the online system, the AI robotic arm collaborates with the AMR to initiate the retrieval task. It automatically pulls the specified book and transports it to the “Reader Pickup Area”. The entire process is fully automated by AI, delivering a “zero-wait, zero-error” smart book retrieval experience and advancing library lending services into a new realm of automation.

Intelligent Scheduling and Unmanned Transport Enable Uninterrupted Overnight Operation

The TM AI Cobot continues to operate even after the library closes, assisting librarians with book transportation and organization. Through an AI-powered task scheduling system, the cobot automatically assigns transport duties, moving books from the “Librarian Shelving Area” to the “Reader Pickup Area”. This significantly reduces manpower requirements and ensures the continuous circulation of library materials.

A New Paradigm in Human-Robot Collaboration: AI Technology Enters Public Spaces

This application represents the culmination of Techman Robot’s extensive expertise in the AI x Robotics field, extending the use of smart collaborative robots from industrial manufacturing to educational and cultural venues. With its safe human-robot interaction design and flexible AI computing capabilities, the TM AI Cobot allows the library to enhance technological efficiency, pioneering a new service model centered on human-robot collaboration.

TM AI Cobot Technical Highlights:

• AI Vision and Auto-Positioning: Accurately identifies books and spatial locations.
• Smart Task Scheduling System: Enables fully autonomous, round-the-clock operation.
• High-Safety Design for Human-Robot Collaboration: Suitable for applications in public spaces.
• Scalability: Adaptable for diverse applications, including smart logistics and educational exhibitions.

Techman Robot Celebrates 10 Years with AI-Powered Solutions at Automatica 2025
AI Flying Trigger Inspection × AI palletizing × AI Welding

Built to See, born to Lead. As Techman Robot marks its 10th anniversary, the global leader in AI-powered collaborative robotics makes a bold statement at Automatica 2025 with a comprehensive showcase of three core AI applications. These solutions—spanning inspection, palletizing, and welding—demonstrate how deeply integrated vision and intelligence can transform production efficiency and enable real-world deployment of Physical AI.

High-Speed AI Flying Trigger Inspection: Enabling Zero-Stop Quality Control

One of the main highlights is the Flying Trigger inspection system, featuring real-time defect detection during high-speed movement of automotive seat components. By combining AI algorithms with vision-guided positioning, the system shortens inspection time by 40–50%, significantly improving cycle time and production efficiency. Already adopted in both the automotive and electronics industries, this solution reduces manual errors and labor costs while achieving zero-stop, high-precision automated quality control.

To ensure optimal deployment, Techman Robot also leverages NVIDIA Omniverse to simulate the inspection environment before physical rollout—validating robot motion, field of view, and cycle time digitally. This enables customers to accelerate integration, reduce trial-and-error, and minimize downtime.

AI Mixed Case Depalletizing: Smarter Unloading with Real-Time Recognition and Obstacle Avoidance

The new TM25S collaborative robot supports payloads up to 30 kg, making it ideal for handling large workpieces. By combining onboard vision with external 3D cameras and AI object recognition, the system detects the size and position of mixed-stacked boxes without predefined stacking logic. Advanced obstacle avoidance and trajectory optimization algorithms allow the robot to handle tilted, shrink-wrapped, or tightly stacked boxes, improving flexibility and efficiency in logistics and warehouse operations.

AI Welding: Long Reach and Visual Guidance for Precision Workmanship

The TM6S cobot offers a superior reach-to-payload ratio with its 1800mm reach and 6kg payload. Integrated with visual Landmark positioning and optional 7th/8th axis modules for tilt and rotation, the robot automatically compensates for part misalignment and enables multi-angle welding. It is perfectly suited for high-precision applications in automotive, metal fabrication, and machinery industries—delivering stable and consistent welding quality.

Technology Highlight: RobCraft Hand-Finger Teaching by Bortfellow

Also featured at the booth is RobCraft, an intuitive AI-powered hand gesture teaching module developed in collaboration with partner Bortfellow. With RobCraft, users can guide a robot’s path using simple hand gestures—eliminating the need for programming, CAD models, or manual calibration. Combined with TM AI COBOT’s integrated vision system, it offers reliable gesture recognition across different skin tones and hand types, lowering automation adoption barriers and enhancing user accessibility for tasks like polishing, deburring, and guided path movement.

Dr. Scott Huang, COO of Techman Robot, stated:

“As we enter our tenth year, Techman Robot remains committed to solving real production pain points with practical AI solutions. Our three showcased applications reflect a shift from isolated automation to intelligent manufacturing—bringing Physical AI into factories in a truly actionable way.
