The top global robotic trends of 2026

In this week’s Forkliftaction News, we look at the top five robotics trends forecast for 2026 from the International Federation of Robotics, and it’s an eye-opening read with the potential for robotics, AI and automation to work together to change our sector in fundamental ways.

This week we also report on the December Logistics Manager’s Index which has dipped again, marking the lowest rate of expansion in 20 months.

The Logistics Hall of Fame has named its 2025 honourees and Jungheinrich Asia-Pacific continues to push its AntOn entry-level range of equipment with the opening of a new OEM centre in Shanghai.

Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks shares a case study on its supply of a bespoke fleet of materials handling equipment for European technology supplier Westcoast.
