Algorized and KUKA Redefine Robot Safety at CES 2026: The First Robot with "Intuition"
The Predictive Safety Engine uses edge AI and mmWave radar to detect human vital signs and intent, enabling safe, high-speed collaboration without stopping production lines.
- At CES 2026, Algorized and KUKA unveiled the industry's first Predictive Safety Engine powered entirely by real-time Edge AI in a Glass Box demonstration on a KUKA robotic arm.
- Facing fragile vision systems, industrial automation has long accepted a safety-for-speed trade-off with emergency stops and frozen robots, prompting efforts to solve the full handover problem.
- The Algorized engine runs entirely at the edge using wireless sensors and the IWR6843AOP mmWave radar sensor from Texas Instruments for precise presence detection with zero latency.
- The system aims to unlock high-speed productivity in shared human-robot spaces by turning wireless signals into human awareness, backed by the Amazon Industrial Innovation Fund for robotics, automotive, and smart spaces.
- By giving KUKA robots a foundational model for intuition, the platform perceives micro-motion and vital signs and recognizes non-visual intent to anticipate handovers or hazards.
