Quasi Robotics Introduces Autonomous Mobile Robot for a Variety of Industries

Quasi Robotics announced its new autonomous mobile manipulator last week, the R2 Robot. The new R2 Robots offer a range of capabilities, including object recognition, real-time data analysis, and intuitive control systems, the Boyd, M.D.-company said.

These features enable the robots to operate independently, freeing human workers to focus on higher-level tasks and increase overall efficiency using state-of-the-art precision manipulators, grippers, sensors, modules, stereo vision, LiDARs, and much more, the company said.

Founded in 2017, Quasi Robotics specializes in software and hardware in the field of autonomous mobile robotics. We see a world where robots are everywhere — helping humans to alleviate all boring, repetitive, and dangerous tasks. Driven by our passion for technology and our instinct for innovation, we aim to bring smart, safe, reliable machines to every business in the world.

Powered by sophisticated Quasi AI algorithms, R2 robots navigate their environments, find their workspaces, follow instructions, and perform assigned tasks completely autonomously, thereby removing the need for human guidance.

The accompanying Cloud Connect web and mobile application enable code-free task assignment and machine communication as well as extensive dashboards and audit records for seamless traceability of all robotic actions.

“The future truly is robotic. We aim to bring smart, safe, reliable machines to every business in the world,” said Vlad Lebedev, Quasi Robotics CEO. “The ultimate goal is to empower businesses to transform their manual workflows into faster, safer, streamlined operations...all while reducing the amount of time their employees spend on monotonous, repetitive functions, freeing them to perform at their full potential what humans do best — innovation and patient/client interaction.”

R2 Robot specs

Quasi claimed its robots are designed for optimal performance. The R2’s characteristics include:

• Height 64.57 in. (1,640 mm)
• Weight with battery 121 lb. (55 kg)
• Up to eight hours of autonomous operation
• Mecanum wheel design, allowing for omnidirectional movement, instantaneous turns and reducing space requirements.
• Stereo depth vision allows R2 to accurately navigate, see, understand, interact with, and learn from its environment
• Versatile robotic arm with 8 degrees of freedom, up to 6 ft (1.8m) reach and 5.5 lb. (2.5 kg) lift capacity, suitable for performing tasks that require accuracy as well as more heavy-duty force
• Customizable end-of-arm gripper attachments, with a variety of designs developed for both heavy-duty and high-precision applications

“We're confident that these robots will have a transformative impact on the way businesses approach automation. Personally, I could not be more excited to bring our R2 robots to the market,” said Max Didenko, COO of Quasi Robotics. "The R2 Robotics System will be available for pre-order reservation, beginning July 2023; deliveries are scheduled to start the upcoming year."
