        abstract = {This paper provides an overview of the latest
trends in robotics research and development, with a particular
focus on applications in manufacturing and industrial
settings.We highlight recent advances in robot design, including
cutting-edge collaborative robot mechanics and advanced safety
features, as well as exciting developments in perception and
human-swarm interaction. By examining recent contributions
from Kinova, a leading robotics company, we illustrate the
differences between industry and academia in their approaches
to developing innovative robotic systems and technologies that
enhance productivity and safety in the workplace. Ultimately,
this paper demonstrates the tremendous potential of robotics
to revolutionize manufacturing and industrial operations, and
underscores the crucial role of companies like Kinova in driving
this transformation forward.},
