Waypoint Robotics has teamed with Productive Robotics to finally make mobile manipulation accessible for workers on the job today. Combine the easiest to use and most capable omnidirectional AMR on the market with the easiest to use 7 axis cobot arm, and it has never been easier or more cost effective to deploy a mobile manipulator for manufacturing and logistics applications. Workers can employ this mobile platform to perform repetitive tasks such as machine tending, quality assurance sampling, material replenishment, and many others, so they can focus on the high skilled jobs for which they are uniquely qualified. What makes it so easy? Waypoint Robotics’ Vector AMR and Product Robotics’ OB7 have been elegantly integrated so set up and operation is fast and intuitive with both machines seamlessly working together as they perform tasks. They have a flexible design that allows for either device to be the primarily controller of a particular function or operation. The Vector’s omnidirectional mobility enables fast, precise movement in any direction and in any orientation so the OB7 can perform accurate and precise grasping or picking tasks as required, taking full advantage of the cobots seven degrees of freedom (DOF).
The ease of use, seamless integration, and cost effective design of Waypoint Robotics’ Vector AMR paired with Productive Robotics’ 7 DOF OB7 cobot make this powerful Mobile Manipulator a real automation option for workers in businesses of all sizes - a first in the industry.
Waypoint Robotics’ and Productive Robotics’ Mobile Manipulator can be easily set up and operated by workers on the job today enabling them to automate monotonous and repetitive tasks such as machine tending, quality control sampling, and material replenishment; both on and off normal hours of operation.
