Universal Robots
Universal Robots creates collaborative robots (cobots) that work alongside human workers in manufacturing and industrial settings. Their robots automate repetitive, physically demanding tasks like welding, machine tending, palletizing, and quality inspection. With six different robot models ranging from lightweight to heavy-duty, these flexible automation solutions help businesses increase productivity, reduce workplace injuries, and optimize production processes across multiple industries.
Moxie Robot
Embodied creates Moxie, a companion robot designed to help children ages 5-10 develop social, emotional, and cognitive skills through interactive play. The robot engages children with personalized learning experiences, weekly themed missions, and adaptive conversations that encourage skill-building like empathy, active listening, and problem-solving.
Blue Ocean Robotics
Blue Ocean Robotics creates professional service robots for healthcare, hospitality, construction, and agriculture. The company develops mobile robots that solve specific industry challenges, including disinfection robots, telepresence communication systems, and patient handling solutions. Their innovative robots improve workplace productivity, safety, and efficiency across multiple sectors by automating critical tasks that traditionally require human intervention.
Soft Robotics
Oxipital AI (formerly Soft Robotics Inc.) develops advanced AI-enabled vision systems for robotic picking and inspection applications. Their technology automates complex production processes in food processing, consumer goods, and logistics by using 3D machine perception, artificial intelligence, and specialized robotic grippers that can handle delicate and irregularly shaped items with precision.
Vicarious Surgical
Vicarious Surgical develops advanced robotic technology for minimally invasive surgery. Their surgical robot enters the body through a tiny 1.5 cm incision, providing surgeons with 360-degree visualization and unprecedented movement inside patient anatomy. The system uses 28 sensors per robotic arm to replicate natural human motion, enabling precise surgical procedures with reduced complication risks and enhanced surgical control.
Covariant
Covariant develops advanced AI robotics for warehouse automation, creating intelligent robotic systems that can pick, sort, and handle diverse items across different warehouse environments. Their proprietary Covariant Brain technology enables robots to autonomously learn, adapt, and perform complex picking tasks with unprecedented flexibility, reducing manual labor and increasing operational efficiency in logistics and fulfillment centers.
Wootzano
Wootzano develops advanced robotic systems for fruit and vegetable packaging. Their flagship product, Avarai, uses electronic skin technology and artificial intelligence to delicately handle fresh produce. The robots can pack fruits like tomatoes and grapes with precision, reducing manual labor by 60% and minimizing food waste. These intelligent machines operate 24/7, providing a cost-effective solution for post-harvest processing in the agricultural industry.
Muddy Machines
Muddy Machines develops electric robots for agricultural harvesting and logistics. Their autonomous robots solve critical labor shortages in farming by performing precise crop harvesting and transportation tasks. Using advanced AI and sensor technologies, these lightweight electric vehicles can harvest asparagus and transport crop trays with minimal human intervention, increasing farm productivity and reducing manual labor demands.
