MassRobotics has found that companies were split on the FCC ban on new foreign-produced mobile robots.

A new MassRobotics survey found the FCC’s July 2026 decision to add foreign-produced advanced robotics devices to its Covered List is dividing robotics companies largely according to where they manufa...

AMD and MassRobotics announced the five startups that won the AMD Robotics Innovation Challenge, as well as three runners up. They all demonstrated new robot applications.

The Healey-Driscoll Administration is investing more than $6.5 million into Massachusetts’ growing robotics industry.

The clean energy transition demands an unprecedented pace of solar farm deployment. But there is a bottleneck that rarely makes headlines: the physical installation of solar panels is still overwhelmingly manual, labor-intensive work. Each panel must be precisely placed onto racking structures, a process requiring careful alignment with centimeter-level accuracy. Luminous Robotics, a current MassRobotics [...]

Analog Devices Inc. is supporting MassRobotics startups with Analog Garage and participating in events including RoboBusiness.

The decision gives robotics startups direct access to ADI technologies and expertise in sensors, signal processing and power management, as well as engineering resources.

MassRobotics last week said that Analog Devices Inc. has renewed its commitment as a strategic sponsor. The Wilmington, Mass.-based company supports MassRobotics’ efforts to nurture robotics startups. “We are excited to welcome ADI back as a cornerstone sponsor,” stated Joyce Sidopoulos, co-founder and chief of operations at MassRobotics. “Developing hardware and advanced robotics is notoriously capital- and engineering-intensive. Having ADI’s technical expertise and mentorship directly accessible to our startup community is a great asset for accelerating the development of commercial-ready physical systems.” Founded in 1965, Analog Devices Inc. (ADI) said it combines analog, digital, AI, and software technologies to bridge the physical and digital worlds and enable breakthroughs at the intelligent edge. The company said its semiconductors help drive advancements in automation and robotics, mobility, healthcare, energy, and data centers. ADI reported revenue of more than $11 billion in fiscal year 2025. Analog Garage to shares expertise with robotics startups Analog Garage, the internal corporate venture and incubator group of Analog Devices, is central to ADI’s partnership with MassRobotics. Analog Garage combines the company’s technical expertise, seed funding, and engineering resources to turn innovations into real products. MassRobotics startups have direct access to ADI’s advanced sensor, signal processing, and power...

The MassRobotics Form and Function Challenge pavilion is returning to the Robotics Summit & Expo. The 2026 Robotics Summit & Expo will be at the Thomas M. Menino Boston Convention and Exhibition Center on May 27 and 28. Attendees of the premier event for commercial robotics developers will be able to see the robotics ecosystem in New England and beyond, thanks in large part to MassRobotics.

MassRobotics, Festo, Mitsubishi Electric Automation, MITRE and Novanta are calling on startups in the healthcare robotics space to apply to the second Healthcare Robotics Startup Catalyst program. The objective of the program is to advance healthcare robotics companies by providing the connections, guidance, and resources they need to grow and succeed. The selected startups will be guided by senior-level mentors from organizing companies and supported to connect with potential customers, investors, suppliers, marketing and more.

MassRobotics and Lattice Semiconductor announce a partnership to advance next-generation robotics application development in the innovation, startup and global robotics ecosystems. Because of Lattice Semiconductor’s strategic leadership in the development of low-latency, lower-power, lower-size devices, this partnership targets to serve as a transformative catalyst to the startup and academic robotics ecosystems. Based in the Boston area, MassRobotics is the first and largest independent nonprofit robotics startup escalator in the world whose mission is to grow and support robotics innovators and entrepreneurs.

Robotics is shifting from experimentation to reliable, ROI-driven industrial deployment worldwide. In this exclusive interview, Tom Ryden, Executive Director of MassRobotics, shares his journey through the robotics industry, the challenges facing adoption, the rise of Robots-as-a-Service, and why AI-driven physical intelligence will define the next decade of automation. Q1. Mr. Ryden, for readers meeting you for the first time, could you briefly introduce yourself and your journey in robotics?

On October 1st MassRobotics hosted the 5th annual Robot Block Party in Boston’s Seaport and drew more than 5,000 attendees. The celebration brought together the robotics companies and universities in the region to showcase their technology to the public and offer an opportunity for families, teachers and students of all ages to see firsthand the future of robotics and examples of industries robotics can help.
