Shihe Technology

China

Shihe Technology was founded in 2015 by a team of Tsinghua University PhDs and describes itself as the first company in China to industrialise high-altitude robots — machines that climb and work on vertical or inclined steel surfaces so that people do not have to. Its slogan is that there should be no dangerous work in the world. The technical core is magnetic adhesion. Shihe builds permanent-magnet climbing chassis with force-magnetic coupled simulation, real-time sensing and adjustment of the magnetic force, a claimed 2:1 load-to-weight ratio, the ability to cross 90-degree corners and obstacles of 18 cm or more, and — it says a domestic first — reliable adhesion and movement on corrugated surfaces. On top of one common chassis it fits interchangeable work modules for ultra-high pressure water jetting, dry and wet sandblasting, vacuum blasting, shot blasting, grinding, cleaning, spraying and non-destructive inspection. Products are sold under the HighMate and BeeBot brands. The company is a national 'little giant' specialised enterprise and a national high-tech enterprise, with more than 400 patents, 60-plus R&D staff and over 200 benchmark customers. It reports more than 70 per cent share of China's ship-derusting robot market across 50-plus shipyards, exports to Russia, Singapore, France, the UK and Turkey, and is the sole supplier of magnetic-adhesion inspection robots to the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge. Its spherical-tank grinding technology passed a national scientific and technological appraisal judged to reach international advanced level.

SICK

Germany

SICK is a sensor and safety supplier, not a robot maker — it has no robot of its own in this catalogue, and is listed because its parts are fitted to robots that do appear here. Dr. Erwin Sick founded the company in 1946; SICK AG is headquartered in Waldkirch near Freiburg, Germany, which is also its largest production and development site. It is family-controlled rather than exchange-listed, and reports net sales of EUR 1,850.0 million for 2025 with 10,158 employees at 31 December 2025 and EUR 239.2 million of R&D spending. It maintains a presence in around 40 countries through some 63 subsidiaries and equity investments. In robotics its relevance is safety and navigation. The nanoScan3 — which SICK describes as the smallest-profile safety laser scanner on the market at 80 mm high — and the larger microScan3 provide both protective-field monitoring and navigation data for AGVs and AMRs, and its LiDAR-LOC software gives SLAM-based localisation from that same 2D scan data so a vehicle keeps its position without magnetic or optical guide tape. Its Safe Robotics Area Protection systems and the sBot speed-and-separation package (including a URCap for Universal Robots) slow or stop an arm as a person approaches and restore speed once they leave. SICK acquired the Dutch AMR-positioning startup Accerion in early 2025. Comparative figures from 2023 onward exclude the "Cleaner Industries" unit, which moved into a partnership with Endress+Hauser.

Siemens

Germany

Siemens is an automation and software supplier, not a robot maker — it has no robot of its own in this catalogue, and is listed because its controllers and engineering tools sit underneath a large share of the industrial robots that do appear here. Founded in 1847 and headquartered in Munich, Siemens generated revenue of EUR 78.9 billion in fiscal 2025, which ended 30 September 2025, and employed around 318,000 people worldwide on the basis of continuing operations at that date. Its businesses are Digital Industries (automation and digitalisation for discrete and process industry), Smart Infrastructure, Mobility and the separately managed medical-technology company Siemens Healthineers, alongside Siemens Financial Services, Global Business Services, Siemens Real Estate and Siemens Advanta. The robotics relevance sits in Digital Industries. The SIMATIC Robot Library for the SIMATIC Robot Integrator is a vendor-neutral robot library for the TIA Portal, replacing the earlier manufacturer-specific libraries, and its specification was developed with ABB Robotics, Comau, Epson, FANUC, Kawasaki Robotics, KUKA, Panasonic Industry, STÄUBLI, Techman Robot, Yamaha and YASKAWA — most of which are makers in this catalogue. The intent is that a cell's program survives a change of robot supplier. On the motion side, the SIMATIC S7-1500T controller's integrated "Kinematics" technology object coordinates 2–6 axes interpolated in Cartesian space using predefined or user-defined kinematics, and Siemens' AI Motion work applies reinforcement learning on a digital twin rather than historical measurement data. Not to be confused with Siemens Healthineers, which is listed separately in this catalogue and is the medical-imaging and diagnostics business, not the automation one.

Standard Bots

United States

Standard Bots builds six-axis collaborative robot arms in the United States, with the stated aim of propelling human productivity through the world's most accessible robots - designing the hardware and the software together, and selling them at prices meant to undercut the established cobot makers. Its robots are designed and assembled in America, with motor and drive systems built in Glen Cove, New York. The range runs from Spark, a tabletop arm carrying 7 kg, through Core - the 18 kg workhorse formerly sold as RO1 - to Thor, which carries 30 kg and reaches 2 m. Bolt, announced for 2026, extends the line into a modular 'droid': one or two arms on a fixed base, a mobile base, or a mobile base with a torso and vertical lift. All of them share the company's own AmpereDrive actuators, which integrate in-house motors, encoders and drives for torque sensing at the joint. The software is the other half of the pitch: a no-code app the company says turns any factory worker into a robot operator in a day, routines that are taught by dragging and tapping rather than coding, a developer SDK with full API access, and Flux, a video-to-action AI model trained on common manufacturing tasks that can be fine-tuned by teleoperated demonstration. Chief executive Evan Beard has testified to the Congressional Joint Economic Committee on robotics policy; the company raised a $63 million Series B led by General Catalyst with the Amazon Industrial Innovation Fund in July 2024, and announced a $200 million Series C at a $1 billion valuation.
