RARUK Automation offers new human-robot interface software from Extend Robotics
18 May 2023
RARUK Automation has announced a partnership with Extend Robotics, allowing RARUK Automation to offer Extend Robotics' Advanced Mechanic Assistance System (AMAS) human-robot interface software in the UK.
The software uses virtual reality technology to enable a human user to control a Universal Robots collaborative robot remotely. AMAS is a suitable solution for a wide range of industries, especially those that involve extreme, dangerous environments.
Robots can safely access areas that humans cannot. Since the software enables remote robot operation, human operators can maintain complete control without compromising on their health and safety. The new technology is suited to applications like decommissioning nuclear facilities, inspection and maintenance of offshore energy facilities and handling toxic pharmaceutical material, to name a few.
Equally, AMAS enables robots to work more effectively alongside humans, making it easier for them to adapt to changing environments and perform complex tasks. The software provides advanced real-time motion control and recording and replay capabilities, making it possible for robots to execute tasks with precision and accuracy. It also allows non-robotic experts to operate and programme robots easily using gesture control.
Peter Williamson, Managing Director of RARUK Automation, says, “RARUK Automation is proud to partner with Extend Robotics to provide additional functionality to customers looking to use robots in extreme or unusual environments.”
Similarly, Extend Robotics is looking forward to its technology reaching new users across the UK through the distribution deal.
"We're thrilled to partner with RARUK to bring our AMAS software to customers across the UK," says Dr Chang Liu, CEO of Extend Robotics. "Our software is designed to help companies improve productivity and safety by enabling humans and robots to work together more effectively. With RARUK's extensive network and expertise, we're confident that we can reach even more customers and help them achieve their automation goals."
The partnership between Extend Robotics and RARUK automation represents a powerful combination of technology and expertise, to deliver significant benefits to many UK industries.
