It will collaborate with MassRobotics and the other companies, organizations and research institutions that it works with to create new innovations across a wide spectrum of applications, especially in medical robotics.

Matthijs Glastra, CEO of Novanta, says: “We are proud to support MassRobotics in its critical mission to create advanced robotics, particularly in the medical field.

“We are fortunate to be in a unique setting in the Boston area, surrounded by the world’s top hospitals, medical laboratories and educational institutions.

“That has given rise to a unique regional ecosystem of resources – with the necessary talent, knowledge networks, infrastructure and financial resources – to produce the best in medical/surgical robotics.”

Added Brian Young, chief human resources officer of Novanta, says: “As a Boston-based company with technology development and manufacturing in Massachusetts, Novanta is uniquely positioned to be a leader in developing robotics talent for the region.”

ATI Industrial Automation is the world’s leading engineering-based developer of robotic accessories and robot arm tooling. It will work with MassRobotics to develop sophisticated technological solutions that improve robotic productivity.

Robert Little, president and general manager of ATI Industrial Automation, says: “We’re thrilled to partner with MassRobotics to engineer the best innovations for the most demanding applications.

“We love to work with people as passionate about robotics as we are, and we see incredible opportunities ahead for exciting new advancements.”

MassRobotics currently leads a cluster of the highest concentration of robotics companies in the world, with roughly 400 companies, 65 resident startups and 40 strategic partners.

Through programming and events, MassRobotics helps bring together innovative startups and existing technology organizations to promote innovation and nurture the next generation of talent.

Kalpana Singh, president and general manager of Celera Motion, says: “We’re excited to be part of the Boston area’s robotics community, one that is leading the next wave of technology.
