MANIBOT: Bi-manual mobile robots for harsh working environments
Universidad de Burgos (UBU)
Burgos, Spain

Stand 6
3rd Floor Forum Evolution Burgos. October 15 and 16, 2025
Description
The demonstrator presents MANiBOT, an innovative project that seeks to equip mobile two-armed service robots with advanced physical capabilities, enabling them to perform a wide variety of manipulation tasks with diverse objects in a human-like manner, even in challenging and changing environments. ABB collaborates In the project.

The University of Burgos (UBU) is a Spanish public university focused on applied research and technology transfer, promoting initiatives at both the regional and European levels.
Innovative aspects
- Improvement of robot manipulation skills, ranging from simple gripping and pick-and-place operations to bimanual and non-prehensile manipulation.
- Advanced understanding of the environment
- Efficient manipulation techniques
- Robot cognitive functions and physical intelligence
Pilot Deployments
The solutions are implemented with a practical approach to baggage handling and supermarket shelf replenishment, including pilot tests in relevant environments.
