…shared vision of affordable mobile manipulation,” added Walker. “We both have ROS-native systems and can merge behaviors and the user experience. We'll be able to reduce size and cost as we integrate further.” “Manufacturers are the 'first movers' with precise machine tending,” he said. “The robot is able to fit into situations where workers already have a process. It can…
