Collaborative Robotics Inc. This week officially revealed its Proxie cell manipulator to the public for the first time. Since Porter founded the corporation in 2022, the startup has maintained secrecy surrounding the design of the robot. In April 2024, Collaborative Robotics aims to commercialize its autonomous mobile robot (AMR) technology.
Despite the corporation’s secrecy surrounding the robotic’s design, it unveiled images and videos of the Proxie AMR on Wednesday, along with a revamped website. Here are some key features of the AMR: it boasts a swerve drive for increased maneuverability, hot-swappable batteries for seamless operation, and a high-speed linear actuator as its core component. The robotic platform is designed to accommodate various onboard actuators, with the initial focus on developing a straightforward cart acquisition system.
this week. Additionally, the company revealed that six customers have placed orders for more than 30 robots to be deployed in the first half of 2025 during the third quarter. Pickle Robotics announced in 2018 that its robotic solutions were engineered to independently offload vans, trailers, and shipping containers with a level of proficiency comparable to humans.
The corporation disclosed that its Collection B round received investment from a strategic partner. Joining the initiative were Teradyne Robotics Ventures, Toyota Ventures, Ranpak, Third Variety Enterprise Capital, One Madison Group, Hyperplane, and Catapult Ventures, along with several other prominent partners. The corporation plans to leverage its latest funding to accelerate the development of innovative feature enhancements. The company also intends to establish distinct business units, enabling the expansion into untapped markets and regions globally.
The MiR600 autonomous mobile robot (AMR), paired with the UR20 and UR30 collaborative robotic arms from Universal Robots (a subsidiary of Teradyne), offers a compelling combination for industries seeking increased efficiency and flexibility. Cell Industrial Robots revealed capabilities to handle payloads up to 600 kilograms (1,322 pounds), streamlining complex workflows within industrial settings by automating processes effectively. The MiR Gog Associate-enabled robotics platform seamlessly controls the MC600 software program. Mir coordinates its cell-based architecture and robotic arms, streamlining integration into existing workflows to facilitate straightforward operations.
ASTM proposes cell manipulation customary
ASTM International, a globally recognized standards organization, has introduced a novel standard for robotics, automation, and autonomous technologies. It provides recommendations for recording disruptions caused by robotic limbs, comparable to those triggered by heavy machinery, within unorganized production settings? The proposal outlines a specific apparatus used for conducting tests.
