Rapid Robotics initial offering targeted small to medium businesses that needed automation but weren't sure on how to build it in. We consulted, built, and serviced an entire fleet of collaborative robots across the country.
In order to deploy robots at a large scale, the overlap between all manufacturing tasks is that they need custom fixturing and custom end effectors. I led a project to build a robot that could be moved around in a manufacturing facility, be set up to do a variety of tasks, and be produced on a large scale.
The project won a Red Dot and Core77 award:
Red Dot: Rapid Machine Operator (RMO)
Switching focus of the company, Rapid then identified several end of line task types with higher scalability than manufacturing related tasks and is currently working on bringing these to market.
