Teradyne Robotics (TER) and Sereact announced a partnership to expand AI-powered industrial automation in retail, logistics and manufacturing. The partnership combines Sereact's Cortex AI platform with Universal Robots' robot arms. The companies have already shipped hundreds of UR robots in dual-arm systems to operating customer sites across Europe.
Robots now autonomously process returned fashion items at Zalando fulfillment centers in Greven, Germany, and Świebodzin, Poland. These deployments are the first phase of a broader initiative to expand returns automation across Europe, followed by US expansion. A demonstration of the returns-handling application will be shown at NVIDIA GTC Berlin.
Teradyne (NASDAQ: TER) will release its third-quarter 2026 financial results on October 27, 2026, at 4:30 p.m. ET or later. A conference call covering the results and management's business outlook will follow on October 28 at 8:30 a.m. ET. Presentation materials will be available starting at 7:30 a.m. ET, and a replay will be available on Teradyne's website.
FormFactor (FORM) and Teradyne (TER) entered a technology collaboration, with Teradyne agreeing to a $300 million equity investment in FormFactor.
The collaboration combines FormFactor’s probe technologies, interface solutions and device characterization with Teradyne’s automated test platforms. The companies plan to advance semiconductor test architectures, optimize test infrastructure and improve production readiness for high-performance computing, advanced packaging, high-bandwidth memory and silicon photonics. They expect the collaboration to accelerate development, validation and high-volume production deployment of next-generation semiconductor devices and expand joint customer engagement. Teradyne agreed to purchase FormFactor common stock; the investment remains subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals.
Teradyne (TER) launched the UltraFLEXplus S series of semiconductor test systems for edge AI applications, extending its existing UltraFLEXplus platform.
The first model, UltraFLEXplus S24, is a 24-slot system for engineering and production use in high-mix, variable-volume manufacturing. The single-module S series sits alongside the quad-module Q series and shares its instrument modules, IG-XL software environment and test program library. Teradyne says the new series is designed to improve output per unit of floor space and allow customers to reuse existing test-development investments.
Teradyne (TER) introduced a production-ready Titan HP system with enhanced burn-in capabilities for high-power AI and other high-reliability devices. Burn-in stresses devices to test reliability. The system holds each device at its target internal temperature while running a realistic workload, with individual thermal controls. Titan HP with enhanced burn-in is available today and deployed in production.
Teradyne (TER) introduced Magnum E2, a memory test system for advanced DRAM and NAND flash devices.
The system supports LPDDR6, DDR6, GDDR7 and NAND flash interfaces. It offers engineering and production configurations on a common hardware and software platform.
Teradyne (TER) and GS Microelectronics (GSME) entered a multi‑year strategic partnership to create a state‑of‑the‑art semiconductor test and evaluation center in Silicon Valley.
The center will be housed in GSME's new 42,000 square‑foot headquarters and will use Teradyne's advanced automated test systems, handlers and probers to support customer demonstrations, device evaluations, engineering development, pilot production and technical training. GSME will operate a dedicated Teradyne‑equipped test floor and provide hands‑on engineering support for customers developing AI, silicon photonics, automotive, RF, power management and other next‑generation devices. GSME is also expanding its global test engineering team across the United States, Taiwan, Europe and the GCC to support joint customer engagements and Teradyne‑based design wins. The test center is scheduled to open in Q4 2026.
Teradyne (TER) launched the Iris 100, a production-ready optical test platform for microLED devices that brings semiconductor-grade optical testing to high-volume manufacturing.
The system measures every individual emitter in large microLED arrays and integrates with the Teradyne UltraFLEXplus platform to combine optical and electrical test. Designed for AR microdisplays and optical interconnects in AI data centers, Iris 100 uses a spectrometer and high-resolution camera to capture spectral response, per-pixel luminance, and uniformity at high throughput. It leverages IG-XL software to detect defects such as dead or stuck pixels and supports NIST-traceable calibration to correlate results across lots, wafers, and sites. Iris 100 supports both wafer and final test and has a roadmap to add photodetector test capabilities.
Teradyne (TER) has opened a new office in Bengaluru, India, focused on supporting semiconductor manufacturing and electronics production in the country.
The office at Vesta Building, Bagmane Cosmos Tech Park will act as a hub for customer engagement, applications support, training, and strategic partnerships. This step aligns with India’s accelerating semiconductor ambitions under the India Semiconductor Mission.
Universal Robots (TER) launched its seventh-generation Gen 7 robotics platform at the IMTS tradeshow in Chicago, introducing an out-of-the-box AI-ready system for industrial automation and physical AI deployment.
Gen 7 is a unified upgrade built around the PolyScope X robot operating system, featuring a reengineered CB7 Core controller, TP7 Core teach pendant, SP7 Smart Panel tool-flange interface and new g-Series robot arms (UR10g-1750, UR17g-1300, UR18g-950). The g-Series flange delivers power, data and safety directly to tools, simplifying connection of cameras and high-bandwidth sensors, and integrates force-torque sensing and impedance control for dexterous, force-sensitive tasks.
The CB7 controller provides 40% more compute in a 30% smaller footprint than prior generations and supports multi-network industrial communication. Gen 7 also emphasizes safety and cybersecurity, with PLd, Category 3 architecture, TÜV certification to ISO10218-1 and UL1740, and development practices certified to IEC 62443-4-1 ML3.
