Waypoint and Productive Robotics launch mobile manipulator
Waypoint Robotics and Productive Robotics combined an omnidirectional autonomous mobile robot with the seven-axis OB7 cobot arm.
Evidence notes
- The system targeted machine tending, quality sampling, material replenishment and packaging.
- Waypoint supplied the autonomous mobile base and Productive Robotics supplied the teach-by-touch cobot arm.
- The collaboration focused on making mobile manipulation practical for small and midsize manufacturers.
Company context
Productive Robotics designs and manufactures OB7 collaborative robot arms and Blaze welding cobots in California. Its systems use teach-by-touch operation for machine tending, welding, deburring, assembly, packaging and inspection, reducing the programming burden for smaller manufacturers.
