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.

Techman Robot, a global leader in collaborative robotic technology, makes its debut at RoboDEX Japan—Western Japan’s largest smart manufacturing exhibition. For the first time, Techman Robot is co-exhibiting with MSI, a global leader in gaming and AIoT solutions, to present an innovative showcase integrating AI inspection, autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), and smart vision systems—offering a comprehensive glimpse into the smart factory of the future.

A key highlight of the exhibition is the “Flying Trigger” inspection solution, an advanced high-speed AI-powered inspection system developed in-house by Techman Robot. Equipped with smart vision, the TM AI Cobot enables real-time defect detection while the workpiece remains in motion—requiring no production line stops and avoiding workflow disruption. This significantly improves inspection efficiency and throughput. Applications span across printer component assembly, server production, and automotive assembly lines, effectively reducing false detections and manual intervention—demonstrating the true power of AI on the factory floor.

Techman Robot also joins forces with MSI to present a live AMR application demo. MSI provides the high-performance mobile platform, which is paired with TM AI-powered collaborative robot to enable fully unmanned material handling and flexible manufacturing. This marks the first joint showcase by Techman Robot and MSI in Japan, with both companies committed to expanding their collaboration across key markets including Taiwan, Japan, the U.S., and Southeast Asia—accelerating the global adoption of AI-driven smart manufacturing and industrial automation.

To strengthen its presence in Japan, Techman Robot has established a new office in Nagoya, complete with a local technical support and after-sales service team. This enables faster, localized service for companies undergoing automation evaluations, system integration, and testing. Working alongside a network of local distributors and integrators, Techman Robot aims to enhance the effectiveness of smart manufacturing deployment. As one of the few companies worldwide with in-house AI, vision, and collaborative robot capabilities, Techman Robot remains committed to its mission: “AI Empowering Smart Manufacturing.” Together with global partners, the company will continue building efficient, flexible, and sustainable smart factories—driving the industry into the next generation of intelligent production.

As a global leader in AI-powered collaborative robotics, Techman Robot is celebrating its 10th anniversary and will showcase its latest smart automation innovations at Automate 2025. The booth will feature a wide range of AI-driven real-world applications, including high-speed flying-trigger inspection, semiconductor wafer box handling, intelligent welding, and the debut of the all-new lightweight long-reach cobot, TM6S.

High-Speed AI Flying-Trigger Inspection System
Techman Robot will present its advanced Flying Trigger inspection technology, which integrates AI and vision to perform real-time defect detection and quality inspection while the work piece is in motion—enabling zero-downtime quality control. This system has helped customers reduce inspection time by 40–50% on average, significantly improving cycle time and overall production efficiency. Ideal for automotive seat components and server assembly inspection, it minimizes human error and labor costs while delivering fast and precise results.

Expanding Semiconductor Applications and Strengthening U.S. Market Presence
With major Taiwanese semiconductor firms like TSMC increasing investments in the U.S., Techman Robot is actively expanding its semiconductor collaborations and applications in the region. Backed by extensive experience in Asia’s semiconductor industry, it partners with automation leader MSI to integrate AMRs and cobots for wafer box handling and cleanroom material loading/unloading. These flexible automation solutions address the growing demand for smart, agile semiconductor manufacturing. In addition, Techman Robot has formed a strategic alliance with global packaging and testing giant ASMPT to further enhance back-end process automation and enable high-end production line upgrades.
