Agile Robots acquired voraus robotik’s hardware, including all safety-relevant components and hardware-specific software rights of the “Yu” cobot. Agile Robots continues to expedite the product development and ensures supply chain readiness to establish a cost-efficient industrial production in Germany.
voraus robotik deepens its software focus and licenses its built-in robot control software and the user interface for the “Yu”. For “Yu”, Agile Robots and voraus robotik will continue to collaborate to develop the robot control system to meet the high requirements in the market and provide the necessary customer support. Thus, both companies set the basis for a long-term and sustainable partnership.
“Yu” is designed as a universally applicable cobot with a maximum payload of seven kilograms. The first safety certified “Yu” cobots are expected to roll off the production line at Agile Robots’ plant in Kaufbeuren, Bavaria, at the beginning of 2023 – first for the European market, then worldwide.
“We are very pleased to be working together on an equal footing with voraus robotik. With this purchase and with the collaboration we expect synergy effects that will allow us to act and react even more dynamically in the current challenging environment. This will enable us to further drive our successful global growth path.” says Dr. Zhaopeng Chen, CEO and founder of Agile Robots.
“In Agile Robots, we have found a strong partner for “Yu”. With our shift in focus to hardware-agnostic software, our solutions will be of even greater benefit to manufacturers and end users. The partnership allows us to further smarten our technology core and make our application layer more flexible for customer-centric solutions.” says Dr. Jens Kotlarski, CEO and founder of voraus robotik and Yuanda Robotics.
