| YuMi® is the world’ first truly collaborative robot, able to work side-by-side on the same tasks as humans while still ensuring the safety of those around it. Capable of handling anything from a watch to a tablet PC and with the level of accuracy that could thread a needle, YuMi® will radically change the way we think about assembly automation. YuMi® is a collaborative, dual-arm Small Parts Assembly robot that includes flexible hands, parts feeding systems, camera-based part location and state-of-the-art robot control. It can collaborate, side-by-side, with humans in a normal manufacturing environment enabling companies to get the best out of both humans and robots, together. One of YuMi®’s unique features is its “inherently safe” design, allowing it to work alongside humans while reducing risks to acceptable safety levels.
YuMi® is inherently safe by design. It has no barriers, no cages, no zones, YuMi® is the first truly collaborative robot solution.
It is able to perform the motions required in Small Parts Assembly within a very small space while maintaining a human-like reach. This is critical to minimizing the footprint on the factory floor and also makes it possible to install YuMi® into the work stations currently used only by humans. |
