The Sawyer single-arm, high-performance robot by Rethink Robotics executes machine tending, circuit board testing and other precise tasks that historically have been impractical to automate with traditional industrial robots.
Features include a face screen, embedded sensors and vision system, and train-by-demonstration user interface in a compact footprint. Running on the Intera software system, the robot dynamically adapts to realworld conditions on the plant floor and integrates into existing work cells.
The unit weighs 42 pounds and handles an 8.8-pound payload. High-resolution force sensing, embedded at each joint, enables compliant motion control so the robot feel its way into fixtures or machines—even when parts or positions vary—for adaptive precision in semi-structured environments.
