Discover the latest advances in collaborative robotics and physical artificial intelligence presented by FANUC following IREX 2025. An exclusive technical summary before the January 29 webinar.
IREX 2025: the global robotics hub comes to you
The Tokyo International Robotics Exhibition (IREX) remains the undisputed benchmark of global automation. For the 2025 edition, FANUC has once again pushed the boundaries by presenting solutions that combine mechanical power and adaptive intelligence. If you couldn't make the trip to Japan, the opportunity to catch up on this technological delay is presented in the form of a condensed and highly technical digital event.
This webinar is not just a commercial presentation, but a genuine analysis of the underlying trends that will transform factories over the next two years. From the increased flexibility of collaborative arms to the deep integration of AI, each announcement made in Tokyo responds to a specific productivity issue encountered by integrators and operators in the field.
Hardware: the new era of CRX and R-2000 ranges
At the heart of the announcements, the new mechanical units of the CRX range continue to redefine collaborative robotics. These 'light' robots no longer just perform simple palletizing tasks; they gain in precision and load capacity, allowing for an increasingly fine hybridization between human operators and machines. Their intuitive design, which has been the success of the series, is enriched with new safety features and increased durability for demanding industrial environments.
In parallel, the R-2000 range, a true pillar of the automotive and heavy logistics industry, benefits from significant developments. These new models optimize the ratio of floor space to working envelope. The focus has been on reducing energy consumption and simplifying predictive maintenance, crucial issues for industrialists seeking to reduce their Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
Physical AI: when software intelligence takes shape
The real technological leap presented at IREX lies in the concept of Physical AI for FANUC Industrial Robot. Thanks to strategic partnerships, including with NVIDIA, FANUC is bringing its machines into the era of reinforcement learning and advanced computer vision. It's no longer just about programming a trajectory, but about allowing the robot to understand its environment in real-time to adapt to unforeseen production variations.
The opening up to ecosystems like ROS (Robot Operating System) and the use of Python for high-level scripting mark a clear willingness to democratize access to robotics programming. This software flexibility allows developers to deploy complex algorithms more quickly, thus facilitating the integration of third-party sensors and the implementation of 'bin picking' or delicate assembly solutions that were previously considered too complex.
An exclusive appointment with no catch-up session
Industrial expertise requires reactivity. That's why FANUC France is organizing this webinar on Thursday, January 29, 2026, from 10:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. In just 30 minutes, experts will summarize the key points of IREX, giving you precious time for your technological watch. This is the ideal moment to ask your questions about the interoperability of the new solutions with your existing fleet.
Attention: this event is exclusive and will not be available for replay. To guarantee your place and stay at the forefront of robotic innovation, registration is mandatory. Don't miss this opportunity to discover how AI and new FANUC mechanics will redefine your production standards starting this year.
