A Look at 10 End of Arm Tool Providers

RightHand Robotics

​Formed in 2015 from teams at Biorobotics Lab, the Yale GRAB Lab, and MIT, RightHand Robotics makes the RightPick System. The system includes a gripper, machine vision, and machine learning software.

The Somerville, Mass.-based company said the RightPick can perform 1,200 picks per hour.

Earlier this year, RightHand secured $66 million in Series C funding, which it said it will use to “accelerate product and business development.”

End of arm tools are helping increase the capability and range of robot arms, helping operators reduce costs and deliver products faster.
