The Cricket Continuum Announces Robotics Presence at ECS 26

Press release from the issuing company:

The Cricket Continuum has announced its participation in the Executive Ā Ā Summit (ECS 26), February 8–10, 2026, at the Scottsdale Resort & Spa. At ECS 26, The Cricket Continuum will showcase a lineup of robotics (Continuum Office Ready Robots, or CORR), dealer agreements, and practical business models designed for copier dealers, managed services providers, and office technology resellers.

The Cricket Continuum’s presence includes live demonstrations with robots from leading CORR robotic OEM partners:

  • Pudu Robotics, showcasing service and hospitality automation use cases relevant to front-office and reception workflows.
  • Quasi Robotics, offering adaptable assistance platforms for office delivery and task support.
  • Richtech features heavy payload autonomous mobile robot (AMR) capabilities for material handling and workflow automation.

Each robot will be presented in real use case scenarios with measurable return on investment (ROI) insights that tie robotics directly into channel economics and everyday business outcomes.

ā€œOur goal at ECS is not to present robotics as a carnival act,ā€ said Greg Walters, founder, The Cricket Continuum. ā€œWe are demonstrating how traditional office technology dealers and managed services providers can confidently bring robotics to market, backed by financial models and a structured sales enablement path that gets them revenue as soon as possible.ā€

To support rapid dealer activation, The Cricket Continuum provides a sales training program and go-to-market tools that enable new partners to begin selling Office Ready Robots within ten days of signing. These include pricing frameworks, ROI models, deployment playbooks, proposal templates, and deal registration processes tailored for the existing channel audience.

A core message at ECS 26 will be the emergence of the twAIn robotics movement — the convergence of robotics and AI-driven systems into integrated digital and real-world workflows. The twAIn framework illustrates how robotics and computational systems augment traditional service and operational models, creating new revenue streams and efficiency gains for channel partners who adopt both automation and intelligent systems in coordinated ways.

ā€œThe twAIn robotics movement gives dealers a clear, practical strategy for engaging robotics and Ai at scale,ā€ Walters explained. ā€œIt moves the conversation from abstract technology to real business impact.ā€

The Cricket Continuum also announced continued growth in its first string dealer network, the premiere group of traditional copier and office technology dealers now CORR certified and actively selling robotics. These dealers represent a range of markets and business models, validating the commercial readiness of robotics within established channel sales motions.

At ECS 26, Continuum leadership and OEM partners will conduct informal sessions, providing opportunities for conversation, Q&A, and pipeline development.
