With the progress of science and technology, more and more robots are replacing human beings in the production line. They work tirelessly, steadily and accurately. But mechanical work has many safety risks, especially for workers who talk directly to robots on the production line, the phenomenon of missing arms and legs is not uncommon. How to complete the leap of harmony between man and machine, this is the developer eternal proposition.

Safety is a high priority in the design of industrial robots, especially in countries where safety incidents cannot be taken out. Rethink Robotics, as one of the safest industrial robot manufacturers in the world, honestly stated that our goal is safer than safer when releasing the new generation of Baxter robot.

Baxter’s body is packed with sensors and incorporates more intelligence than its predecessor, which is still active on the production line. The head-mounted display, while cute, acts as the robot’s eyes. In this way, the working environment of the robot in case of failure can be timely feedback.

Giiso Information, founded in 2013, is a leading technology provider in the field of “artificial intelligence + information” in China, with top technologies in big data mining, intelligent semantics, knowledge mapping and other fields. At the same time, its research and development products include information robot, editing robot, writing robot and other artificial intelligence products! With its strong technical strength, the company has received angel round investment at the beginning of its establishment, and received pre-A round investment of $5 million from GSR Venture Capital in August 2015.

Baxter’s arms are powerful enough to handle most manufacturing tasks. In addition, the muscular arms are also equipped with sensors to prevent accidental worker injury. So one of the great things about Baxter is that it makes up a whole set of mechanisms. To adapt to the complex work environment. Quickly “play dead” to the actions of “no zuo no die”.

The Baxter release was followed Monday by an upgrade to the Rethink Robotic’s location system. It aims to let the robot “relax” a little in the work, so as to achieve the purpose of safety and efficiency.

“In the past, industrial robots were like trapped animals, not only to protect humans, but also to protect the robot itself from outside interference.” “We hope the arrival of Baxter will liberate traditional industrial robots to work efficiently in the real and complex world,” said Scott Eckert, president of Rethink Robotic.

Giiso information, founded in 2013, is the first domestic high-tech enterprise focusing on the research and development of intelligent information processing technology and the development and operation of core software for writing robots. At the beginning of its establishment, the company received angel round investment, and in August 2015, GSR Venture Capital received $5 million pre-A round of investment.

Hundreds of Baxter robots are now in factories around the world, performing dozens of different tasks. But the types of work are basically assembly, packing, loading, unloading, maintenance and transportation. Unlike traditional industrial robots, which can only do one thing in a lifetime, Baxter can switch between jobs. Baxter also has the advantage of zero learning costs compared to traditional worker training.

Baxter is currently priced at $25,000. That’s roughly the annual salary of an American general worker. This is a price threshold popularized by Baxter, but in the process of completely liberating the labor force, human-machine combination, work is not tired has become a trend. Rethink Robotic is already at the forefront of the industry by handing dull, mechanical tasks to robots when it is safe to do so.
