Manufacturing Dive just covered a major update in robotics standards: ISO and ANSI have officially replaced the term “cobot” with “collaborative application.” It’s a small wording change with big implications. Our Co-Founder and Chief Engineer, John Jakomin, summed it up well: “Collaboration is a feature of how the robot is utilized, not a property of the individual robot itself.” This shift brings more clarity as robotics move into high-variability environments. If you're interested on safety, robotics, or modern manufacturing standards, this article is worth the read: https://lnkd.in/erJ6VwSt

SlipBots auto-load/unload any truck in 5 minutes. Truckers don’t wait, and forklift drivers don’t risk it.
About us
Slip Robotics empowers people to auto-load/unload any truck in 5 minutes using SlipBot Automated Loading Robots (ALRs) -- at any dock, in any trailer, and with zero Wi-Fi or IT integration required. The SlipBot robots-as-a-service network drives 10x improvements in safety, speed, and savings across the supply chain. 🚚 Truckers shouldn't wait. 👷♂️ Forklift drivers shouldn't risk it. ⚡ Auto-load/unload any truck in 5 minutes with SlipBots. Truck drivers spend 23% of their workday just idling at a dock and waiting for forklift drivers to load/unload their trailer, while forklift drivers face constant pressure to load/unload freight faster despite all the risks of damage and injury. Now, those same people can solve this bottleneck with the click of a button: commanding SlipBots to fully auto-load/unload a trailer in just 3 minutes, instead of rushing to drive forklifts in & out of a trailer for 30+ minutes. The secret is SlipBot, a rugged and beautifully "simple" Automated Loading Robot (ALR) platform that carries 20 pallets per minute in/out of any trailer at any dock -- with no dock modifications, no special trailers, no IT integration, and no Wi-Fi required. It just works. Slip seamlessly automates a process, not *just* a vehicle. The SlipBot RaaS (robots-as-a-service) network delivers 10x improvements in safety, speed, and savings across the supply chain. Slip's experienced team and field-proven SlipBots already power 24/7 production manufacturing and logistics operations for multiple Fortune 500 customers, and we're just getting started.

Our Chief Engineer and Founder John Jakomin had a blast diving back in at his alma mater with the Ohio State Underwater Robotics Team! Incredible to see the next generation of roboticists pushing boundaries with Talos, and even better to share the stage with fellow innovators from Path Robotics, Walmart Advanced Systems & Robotics, and Boston Dynamics. From underwater to warehouse floors, robots are making waves. Thanks for the invite, UWRT — Buckeye engineering is alive and thriving! 💪 #Robotics #Innovation #BuckeyePride #SlipRobotics #Automation #THEOhioState
We had the pleasure of hosting John Jakomin from Slip Robotics, Andrew Lonsberry from Path Robotics, Bill Fosnight with Walmart Advanced Systems & Robotics, and Robert Playter from Boston Dynamics for an overview of UWRT and live demo of Talos. It was wonderful getting to show off all our hard work! Special thanks to the OSU Terrestrial Robotics team for presenting with us during this amazing robotics day.

October is Manufacturing Month. That means it's time to celebrate the makers, movers, and innovators driving American industry forward. 🇺🇸⚙️ At Slip Robotics, we’re proud to be part of the transformation — starting where it all begins and ends: the dock. Let’s be real — docks have been stuck in the past for too long: 🚛 Long truck waits 👷 Labor-intensive loading ⏱️ Wasted time, space, and money SlipBots automate trailer loading/unloading — no forklifts, no delays, no dock congestion. Just seamless, safe, autonomous movement that gives manufacturers: ✅ 5X+ more throughput ✅ Real-time visibility ✅ Safer, smarter operations ✅ ZERO infrastructure changes 💥 Built for modern manufacturing — and proudly Made in the USA. By boosting dock efficiency and speed, we help reshoring efforts become more competitive and sustainable. American-made tech, helping American-made products move faster. This month, we’re giving a huge shoutout to the engineers, operators, planners, and frontline teams making it happen every day. You make. We move. Together, we scale. 💪 . . . #ManufacturingMonth #SlipRobotics #MadeInUSA #Reshoring #SupplyChainInnovation #MaterialHandling #LogisticsAutomation #DockEfficiency #SafetyFirst #SmartManufacturing #AmericanManufacturing

RECAP: September 2025 was Fully Loaded. 🚚⚙️ What a month! From PARCEL Forum (The #1 Package Fulfillment Event in the U.S.) in Chicago to IntraLogisteX Exhibition in Miami, Actuate in San Francisco, and Automotive Logistics & Supply Chain Global in Detroit — we’ve been on the move. Across every floor and forum, one thing was clear: The industry is ready to move with more speed, more savings and more simplicity at the dock. Whether it’s solving dock congestion, reducing wait times, or eliminating the need for manual trailer loading—Slip is built for this moment. Thanks to everyone who stopped by, asked hard questions, and shared bold visions. Let’s keep pushing the future of logistics forward. 🚀 #SlipRobotics #SupplyChainInnovation #DockEfficiency #LogisticsTech #Intralogistics #AutomotiveSupplyChain #ParcelForum #IntraLogisteX #Accentuate #ALSCE25 #ALRs #MaterialHandling #SupplyChain #Innovation #MadeintheUSA
