Robots for Manufacturing
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)
Development of End of Line Applications
Development of End of Line Applications
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.
Custom End of Arm Tools for All
Custom End of Arm Tools for All
Every customer requires custom end effectors. Developing custom tools with various payloads, materials, and grip directions requires quick design iteration and a lot of 3d printers.
High Flow Large Surface Area, Force Fit Application
Flexible Compliant Telescopic Vacuum + Under Actuated Fingers
High Flow Vacuum, High Porosity Items
Simple Parallel Stroke Actuators
Dual Arm Humanoid
Dual Arm Humanoid
Toward the end of the time at Rapid, a very small team of robotics engineers built a single prototype of a dual arm elevating form factor humanoid robotic system targeting zero-shot task oriented manufacturing and supply chain opportunities. The system used frameless motors, custom designed housings, harmonic and cycloidal gearing, and custom motor driver hardware.
