Adaptive Robot for Manufacturing Applications.
Baxter is a revolutionary new category of robot that is redefining the way robots can be used in manufacturing environments. It performs a variety of simple, yet critical production tasks while safely and intelligently working next to people. How? Unlike traditional industrial robots, Baxter exhibits behavior-based ‘common sense,’ capable of sensing and adapting to its task and its environment.
It requires no complex programming or costly integration. As a result, Baxter is being introduced into a wide range of plants that could never previously consider a robotic automation solution. Performs a Broad Range of Simple Production Tasks.
Baxter can handle many repetitive production tasks that are typically difficult or expensive to automate, freeing human operators to focus on more value-added jobs. Baxter’s initial release software includes functionality for basic discrete part handling, simple line loading/unloading,
and basic packing and unpacking tasks, with more complex features and enhanced performance to follow. Baxter will be capable of a wide range of tasks, including:
• Material Handling
• Machine Tending
• Testing & Sorting
• Light Assembly
• Finishing Operations
