Flexiv has launched two new adaptive robots designed to deliver higher tactile sensing and bodily AI capabilities to industrial automation.
The corporate unveiled its new Enlight robotic arm and Mico dual-arm robotic platform, describing them as a major step ahead in force-controlled robotics and embodied intelligence.
The flagship Enlight is a seven-axis adaptive robotic geared up with multi-dimensional force-torque sensors built-in into every of its seven joints. In response to Flexiv, this permits whole-body contact sensitivity, permitting the robotic to detect single-touch contact, monitor a number of contact factors, and acknowledge tactile patterns.
The corporate says the robotic combines pressure management with superior imaginative and prescient capabilities to automate extremely variable duties in environments which have historically been troublesome for industrial robots to deal with.
Enlight weighs 15 kilograms and options 4 joints able to rotating via 720 levels, offering a big working envelope whereas sustaining a compact footprint for working in confined areas.
Constructed on the identical structure, Mico is a modular dual-arm robotic system designed for functions requiring coordinated, human-like manipulation.
The system combines two Enlight arms underneath a single management structure, enabling synchronized dual-arm operation. Flexiv is providing Mico in 4 standardized configurations – Armor, Core, Plus and Extremely – permitting customers to scale the platform in keeping with utility necessities.
The corporate additionally demonstrated a variety of business functions developed with expertise companions, together with manipulation duties involving graphics playing cards utilizing the Nvidia Isaac Sim simulation platform for force-controlled robotics.
Shuyun Chung, Flexiv’s chief robotics scientist, mentioned: “The introduction of Enlight and Mico marks a defining second not only for Flexiv, however for the automation business.
“Now we have delivered to market a stage of human-like adaptability and tactile suggestions by no means earlier than out there to industrial customers. These robots are safer, less complicated to program, and uniquely able to working in extremely constricted environments.”
Based in 2016, Flexiv develops adaptive robots that mix pressure management, laptop imaginative and prescient and AI applied sciences for manufacturing and industrial automation. The corporate has operations in Silicon Valley, Shanghai, Beijing, Munich and Singapore.
