Rapid Robotics introduced a brand-new integration with Yaskawa America, Inc., Motoman Robotics Div. (Yaskawa Motoman) that may deliver industrial capabilities to Rapid Robotics’ Rapid Machine Operator (RMO).
The firm is now built-in with your complete Yaskawa robotics portfolio, and may ship extra pace, increased payload and elevated efficiency to a higher variety of North American producers with a extra various vary of wants.
“Since our founding in 2019, Rapid Robotics has been committed to providing manufacturers with a holistic workforce solution in the form of accessible, low-risk automation,” Jordan Kretchmer, CEO and Co-Founder of Rapid Robotics, stated. “Today, we’re able to deliver on that commitment better than ever through our partnership with Yaskawa Motoman and their legacy of industrial expertise.”
By combining superior pc imaginative and prescient, synthetic intelligence and instinctive studying with as-a-service traits together with cloud connectivity, month-to-month leasing and 24/7 help, Rapid Robotics has aimed to democratize automation within the face of an intense workforce scarcity.
Now, with the Yaskawa portfolio as an built-in a part of the corporate’s suite of options, producers needing an industrial-size answer that beforehand couldn’t automate as a consequence of conventional boundaries like value, inflexibility or prolonged deployments, might have the chance to automate.

“A trusted name in industrial automation for over a hundred years, Yaskawa is an established leader in the robotics market. A partnership with Rapid Robotics opens the door to automation for a large number of enterprises that have previously found it difficult or intimidating to deploy robotic solutions,” Chris Caldwell, Product Manager of Yaskawa Motoman, stated. “Yaskawa is excited for the opportunity to offer truly industrial solutions, expanding Rapid Robotics’ capabilities while providing improved cycle-times and return-on-investment for end users. By combining strengths, Rapid Robotics’ advanced vision systems and state-of-the-art AI allow Yaskawa’s full line of robotic manipulators to shift repetitive or dangerous tasks away from your human workforce, freeing them to perform more fulfilling work.”
A trademark of Rapid Robotics’ options is a excessive pace of deployment. This holds true for the brand new industrial RMO as a result of firm’s modular strategy to work cell design. Streamlined industrial Yaskawa robots with strong capabilities take full benefit of that strategy, avoiding interference with peripheral gadgets, and holding the set up house of an industrial RMO work cell minimal.
A key function of this re-imagined work cell is an revolutionary cell robotic pedestal with modular fixturing. The cell pedestal offers this gentle industrial arm the identical flexibility as Rapid Robotics’ collaborative robotic (cobot) answer because the pedestal may be simply moved or reconfigured after which re-locked into place by a single particular person.
Historically, industrial robotic arms may be tougher and time-consuming to deploy than their cobot counterparts, particularly outdoors of mass manufacturing environments, as a consequence of their complexity and the intensive security measures required. Rapid Robotics’ industrial RMO provides all the pliability of a cobot answer whereas assembly all obligatory security measures with the added payload, pace and attain of a standard industrial arm.
