Two main automation suppliers have moved in collectively. Collaborative robotic chief Common Robots A/S and autonomous cellular robotic, or AMR, supplier Cellular Industrial Robots ApS in the present day celebrated the grand opening of their new 215,000-sq.-ft. headquarters in Odense, Denmark.

Each corporations are models of Teradyne Inc., which acquired Common Robots (UR) for $285 million in 2015 and Cellular Industrial Robots (MiR) for $272 million in 2018.

“The launch of this new headquarters marks a major milestone for Teradyne Robotics as we deliver collectively two main corporations in robotics innovation,” said Ujjwal Kumar, group president of Teradyne Robotics. “We are going to now have the optimum surroundings to evolve our technological capabilities, that are already in excessive demand.”

Kumar was a keynote speaker on the Robotics Summit & Expo earlier this month. Common Robots gained a 2024 RBR50 Robotics Innovation Award for its UR30 cobot.

Teradyne Robotics mentioned it has greater than 1,400 workers in over 32 workplaces worldwide, and about 34% of the cobot market. The North Studying, Mass.-based firm added that it has deployed a complete of greater than 80,000 robots globally and that it has invested over $100 million in robotics and automation.

Teradyne companions take part in grand opening

Companions from Common Robots and Cellular Industrial Robots’ international ecosystems attended the occasion, together with NVIDIA and Siemens, with whom Teradyne Robotics and its corporations have just lately introduced a number of collaborations.

The opening included a panel dialogue that includes Deepu Talla, vp of robotics and edge computing of NVIDIA, Rainer Brehm, CEO of Siemens Manufacturing facility Automation, and Kumar. The panelists mentioned using “bodily AI” throughout industries and the way superior automation might remodel companies and workplaces.

UR and MiR plan to innovating

Development of the brand new robotics hub in Denmark started in April 2022, and 550 folks will work on the analysis and improvement facility. It can additionally embrace a brand new showroom and coaching rooms for in-person robotic coaching. The headquarters doesn’t embrace manufacturing amenities.

“Since our basis, UR has grow to be a platform of alternative for hundreds of shoppers and a whole lot of ecosystem companions,” mentioned
Kim Povlsen, president of Common Robots. “This lovely constructing displays our robust design philosophy and supplies the right location for us to proceed our mission to ship automation for anybody, anyplace.”

At Automate in Chicago final week, Common Robots’ collaborative robotic arms had been a part of greater than 50 displays on the present ground. The corporate additionally demonstrated AI-powered piece selecting, welding, and different purposes, and its PolysScope X software program will quickly embrace NVIDIA know-how.

Simply because it has utilized applied sciences from Energid to UR cobots, Teradyne mentioned it has utilized classes and mental property from AutoGuide so as to add synthetic intelligence to MiR AMRs.

“Our new headquarters is designed to foster innovation, offering the right setting for our groups to develop modern options that may revolutionize automation,” asserted Jean-Pierre Hathout, president of Cellular Industrial Robots. “MiR is dedicated to being a one-stop-shop for materials dealing with, repeatedly advancing our know-how to fulfill the evolving wants of our massive, international prospects.”

“Our just lately launched AI-powered MiR1200 Pallet Jack exemplifies this dedication. I’m thrilled to witness the transformative influence of our endeavors and to showcase MiR’s and UR’s choices to our prospects and companions at this state-of-the-art facility.”
