Baxter Smart Collaborative Robot For Industry

Baxter Research Robot for Research & Education

 

Imagine what’s possible with our Smart, Collaborative Robot for Industry

For decades, manufacturers have had very few cost-effective options for handling low volume, high mix production jobs.  No longer.  Meet Baxter – the safe, flexible, affordable alternative to outsourced labour and fixed automation.  Leading companies have already integrated Baxter into their workforce, and gained a competitive advantage for their business in the process.

 

Baxter is a proven solution for a wide range of tasks – from line loading and machine tending, to packaging and material handling.  If you walk the floor of your facility and see lightweight parts being handled near people, you’ve likely just found a great job for Baxter.  This smart, collaborative robot is ready to get to work for your company – doing the monotonous tasks that free up your skilled human labour to be exactly that.

 

The Future. Yours to Create.

Baxter Research Robot is a compelling addition to the world of Research and Education.  With the same industry-tested hardware of our flagship robot Baxter that is revolutionising the manufacturing world, Baxter Research Robot is providing a safe, affordable, robust platform for schools and labs to utilise in exciting ways.  With market-leading value, a unique inherent safety system and the real-world relevance of the Baxter manufacturing solution, it is quickly becoming a must-have tool for leading institutions around the globe.

 

Baxter Research Robot allows direct programming access to the system via a standard, open-source ROS API interface. Users can run custom programs from a connected development workstation, or locally through access to the on-board CPU. It is entirely safe to operate around humans without the need for safety cages or other guarding equipment, and comes with a suite of example programs, demonstration videos, online documentation and a robust user community to help new users get started quickly in developing new applications.

 

 

Safe By Design

Baxter is safe to work next to in a production facility without the need for cages thus saving money and floor space.

 

Trained, Not Programmed

With Baxter, no traditional programming is required. Instead, it’s manually trainable by almost anyone in-house which translates into significant cost savings.

 

Flexible & Redeployable

Baxter is suitable for a large number of applications and re-trainable across lines and tasks. Baxter can be repurposed quickly across jobs, often delivering an ROI in less than a single year.

 

Easily Integrated

Baxter deploys quickly and connects seamlessly to other automation – often without third party integration.

 

Adaptive

Baxter’s compliant arms and force detection let it adapt to variable environments, “feeling” anomalies and guiding parts into place

 

Affordable & Extensible

Baxter’s low cost makes it feasible for SMEs to purchase and its performance keeps improving through regular software updates.
