Omron is adding a new line of integrated-vision collaborative robots (cobots), that will integrate into their robust family of robotic automation products. They will also include new “mobile-compatible” models of cobots. These robots, which move autonomously, avoid people and obstacles and will be used to automate material-handling operations around the world. With a cobot mounted on top, they will not only be able to transport materials from one location to another, but will also be able to perform tasks such as the pick-and-place of parts onto trays, in each location. Subscribe below for an official release news from Airline and Omron!

The complete solution for factory automation and machine control.

Omron Robotic automation solutions enhance the most demanding manufacturing lines. Choose from collaborative robots (cobots), industrial SCARA robots, spider robots, six-axis robots, or AIV (Automated Intelligent Vehicle) mobile robots.
