Unchained Robotics raises €8.5 million to make ‘robot operation as simple as using a smartphone’

by

German B2B tech company Unchained Robotics has closed an €8.5 million Series A extended funding round, supported by Direttissima Growth Partners, Navivo Capital, Future Industry Ventures, vent.io, and D11Z.

With the fresh capital, the company aims to scale its technology internationally – addressing one of the biggest hurdles in automation: making robots easy to operate through intelligent software.

Automation is often complex, expensive, and difficult to adapt within existing operations. Robots typically need to be programmed manually, often taking weeks before they’re operational. For many smaller companies, this is a major barrier. Unchained Robotics is changing that.

Universal Robots offers new torque interface to empower research and innovation

by

Having the ability to directly control the torque of all the collaborative robot (cobot) joints opens vast opportunities for cobots to carry out demanding tasks.

But even for experienced cobot users and researchers, building your own software stack to enable this is both time consuming and challenging.

That’s why Universal Robots (UR) has developed a new low-level torque interface that gives access to control the target torque for all the joints of the UR cobot at 500 Hz. [Read more…] about Universal Robots offers new torque interface to empower research and innovation
