BOULDER, CO, – PickNik Robotics, a provider of MoveIt Pro, will be exhibiting at the Robotics Summit & Expo, the premier event for robotics developers. The event takes place April 30 – May 1, 2025 at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center.Attendees can visit Booth 442 to experience live demonstrations of MoveIt Pro, a robotics developer platform to accelerate your team’s momentum and save time to market.“At the Robotics Summit, we’re showcasing our latest MoveIt Pro release that uniquely combines deterministic algorithms for accuracy and efficiency with advanced machine learning,” said Dave Grant, CEO of PickNik Robotics. “The Summit’s forward-thinking attendees perfectly align with our mission to deliver cutting-edge automation solutions for real-world challenges.”The Robotics Summit & Expo is the leading event for commercial robotics developers, bringing together 5,000+ industry professionals to explore the latest advancements in motion control, AI, sensing, software development, humanoids, and more. With 200+ exhibitors, 50+ educational sessions, 5 keynotes, and hands-on demos, it’s the go-to event for those shaping the future of robotics.Dave Coleman PhD, Founder & Chief Product Officer, will be leading a session on Thursday, May 1st titled, “Beyond Manufacturing: AI-Powered Robotics and the Long Tail of Commercial Innovation” at 11:30 AM. The talk will explore how AI is enabling robots to dynamically interpret intricate environments, learn from real-time variations, and perform sophisticated assembly operations that were previously considered too complex.The Robotics Summit also offers numerous networking opportunities, a Career Fair, a robotics development challenge, the RBR50 Robotics Innovation Awards Gala, and much more.Visit PickNik Robotics at Booth #442 to learn more about MoveIt Pro and experience the future of robotics firsthand.Accelerate Your Robotics Development | About PickNikSince 2015, PickNik’s mission has been to address technical challenges while dramatically reducing development time for advanced robotic applications. To achieve this, PickNik has created a commercially available platform, MoveIt Pro

PickNik Robotics this week said it has partnered with Haply Robotics to bring Haply’s responsive Inverse3 haptic controller into the MoveIt Pro developer platform. The result is a more intuitive and responsive way to interact with and teleoperate robotic arms in dynamic environments.“We see haptics not just as a way to control robots, but as a way to teach them,” stated Colin Gallacher, CEO of Haply Robotics. “By integrating Inverse3 with MoveIt Pro, developers can now gather training data with precision and intent. It’s a powerful tool for building intelligent, adaptive robotic systems.”The Inverse3 is a lightweight, high-fidelity haptic device to let operators directly manipulate robots while receiving real-time force feedback. This tactile interface doesn’t just make teleoperation feel more natural—it also opens new doors for machine learning, PickNik said.Now, with MoveIt Pro and Inverse3, developers can generate high-quality training data for robot learning pipelines, according to the company. This includes capturing real human motion trajectories, grasp strategies, and corrective behaviors in real time.The partners said they will bring developers one step closer to a more intuitive, responsive, and teachable form of human-robot collaboration
