The Pressure of Perfect Precision in Robotics Manufacturing

Precision robotics manufacturing is slowly becoming normalized because of its irrefutable positive impact on organizations. However, the journey to create error-free machinery never stops.

Purpose-Built, Specialized Robots are the Future

Wheeled robots like ours are more efficient for the same reason cycling is more efficient than running, which includes less of a fight with gravity. The efficiency, as well as the sheer complexity of humanoid robots adds up to something that may be very much higher cost.

How to Integrate New Robotics Without Disrupting Your Workflow

Many fulfillment and 3PL facilities struggle with the idea of automation, fearing downtime, technical headaches, and compatibility issues. But what if robotics could smoothly enhance your workflow instead of disrupting it?

Mobile manipulators: Flexibility through mobility

Mobile robots are now a key element in various factories, responsible for transporting raw materials, moving items between work stations, and delivering finished goods to storage or dispatch areas. These adaptable platforms can carry tools, components, and entire assemblies.

The Future of Work: How Humanoid Robots Will Revolutionize Industries

Advanced humanoid robots are not destined to replace human workers entirely. Instead, they are poised to revolutionize industries by complementing human skills and addressing critical labor shortages in hazardous environments.

Wearable Robotics and Exoskeleton Technology

Through onboard intelligence and cloud connectivity, Exia delivers personalized support, injury prevention, and ergonomic optimization – essentially becoming a smart, adaptive partner for physical work.

10 things to consider when exploring Offline Robot Programming software solutions

Offline Robot Programming (OLP) takes the programming "offline" - away from the teach pendent / robot cell - allowing the user to generate the robotic code from their computer without having to take the robot out of production to generate it.
