Rethink Robotics Releases Sawyer Robot to Global Market

摘要

Rethink Robotics announced that its Sawyer collaborative robot is available for purchase for use in factories around the world. The product, which was announced in March, is a single-armed robot that can tend to machines, test circuit boards and handle other precise tasks. Unlike many factory robots, the robot can "feel" its way into fixtures or machines with varying parts and positions, leveraging artificial intelligence. The robot weighs 42 pounds and features an eight-pound payload with seven degrees of freedom. It uses a Cognex camera to see and Rethink's proprietary Robot Positioning System to gain spatial awareness.
