Rethink Robotics is a new kind of robotics company, and their mission is to create a new kind of manufacturing robot. One that introduces robotics into processes that manufacturers have never been able to cost-effectively automate. One that uses common sense to perform a wide range of tasks and vastly improve productivity. And one that safely works side by side with its human counterparts, who are able to train it with no programming or engineering expertise. Year founded: 2008

XpertRule is a global leader in Decision Automation solutions with a focus on the Industrial IoT. Our software combines Machine Learning with human expertise and deploys across the IoT ecosystem from the Edge, to Cloud and mobile device (for alerts and troubleshooting)

Veo Robotics is transforming manufacturing with products that incorporate advanced computer vision, 3D sensing, and AI. Their first product lets high-performance industrial robots work collaboratively with people to enable much more flexible, productive, and efficient manufacturing workcells.

Blue Danube Robotics focuses on safe human robot collaboration in mass production. The Austrian company produces safety solutions for Robots, Cobots and End-of-Arm-Tooling (EOAT). These make robots safe for humans and thus efficient for enterprises. The patented AIRSKIN? by Blue Danube Robotics is a sturdy, pressure sensitive skin that is mounted simply and directly onto the robot. It is available for almost any robot and application and the only solution for End of Arm Tooling (EOAT). Benefits for customers are cost efficiency, higher productivity and simplified risk analysis.

Smooth Robotics solution the operator teach the robot which path to follow and were and how to weld - just by using our joystick solution mounted on the robot.

The company wants to change that reality with its smart collaborative robots like Baxter and Sawyer that can easily work with humans and adapt to real-world variability and imperfections. A collaborative robot, as Rethink's engineers define it, is intended to work interactively in a people-compatible way. Unlike traditional robots, Baxter learns by training, not by programming.

FREEMOVE? Veo FreeMove can be used with standard industrial robots from major manufacturers, which can have payloads of hundreds of kilograms and move at many meters per second. In order to make these types of robots robots truly collaborative, safety has been Veo’s paramount focus since its founding. The Veo FreeMove system is compliant with ISO 13849 (Safety of machinery―Safety-related parts of control systems), meets the requirements of PL=d, structure category 3, and consists of: FreeMove Sensors?: custom, 3D time-of-flight sensors that are mounted on the workcell periphery to cover the volume of the safeguarded space. FreeMove Engine?: a high-performance, dual-channel architecture computing platform that runs fail-safe software that processes image data from the sensors and implements Speed & Separation Monitoring (per ISO 15066). FreeMove Studio?: a software suite for self-service configuration and real-time visualization of the sensors and FreeMove Engine? data.
