Rethink Robotics Ushers in a New Era of Automation

Rethink Robotics relaunches, rebrands, and unveils a new range of flagship products at IMTS 2024

— In celebration of its longtime role as an innovator and a partner in enhancing productivity and workplace safety, Rethink Robotics returns to IMTS with a major company relaunch and rebranding. With a fresh identity and renewed vision, Rethink Robotics continues to push the boundaries of innovation, seamlessly integrating advanced robotics into the workplace.

In 2008 Rethink Robotics helped blaze the trail for user-friendly collaborative robots with groundbreaking robots like Baxter and Sawyer, which helped usher in a new era of safe, reliable, and flexible collaboration with robots in the workplace. The new robots that will be unveiled at IMTS have been significantly upgraded with improved design, as well as more reliable and robust hardware, resulting in increased precision, speed, and reliability, making them far more capable for industrial applications.

In addition to an autonomous mobile robot (AMR) and mobile manipulator (MMR) platform, the company will unveil a family of collaborative robots (cobots) designed to reliably handle a range of payloads from 6 to 30 kg. All these products are designed to be better, faster, and stronger than was previously possible across every technical performance indicator.

Rethink Robotics is dedicated to continuous improvement, with a strong focus on customer satisfaction. Its user-centric products and smooth implementation processes ensure that businesses of all types can fully leverage advanced technology.

Please join them to celebrate the rebirth of Rethink Robotics at IMTS 2024 (North Building, Level 3, Booth 236203) and for a press conference at 11 a.m. CT, September 9, 2024.
