Brightpick to share insights on the rise of mobile manipulation at RoboBusiness - The Robot Report

Brightpick CEO and co-founder Jan Zizka will present on the growing field of mobile manipulators at RoboBusiness 2025, held October 15-16 in Santa Clara. Unlike humanoid robots, mobile manipulators combine vision, mobility, dexterous arms, and AI-driven controls in a wheeled form factor, offering enhanced safety and proven reliability. These robots can perform multiple tasks simultaneously, handle heavier payloads, and operate at greater speeds, enabling superhuman performance beyond human physical limits. Zizka’s session, titled “The Rise of Mobile Manipulation,” will highlight the latest advancements, focusing on Brightpick’s Autopicker 2.0 and its AI capabilities, as well as real-world deployments that demonstrate how companies use these technologies to improve efficiency and scale operations. Jan Zizka is a recognized expert in AI, machine vision, and warehouse automation, holding over 20 patents and having previously co-founded Photoneo, a leader in 3D machine vision.
