Flexiv has introduced two new adaptive robots aimed at enhancing tactile sensing and physical AI in industrial automation. The Enlight robotic arm and Mico dual-arm platform are designed to handle highly variable tasks in constrained environments, leveraging force control and vision.
Key takeaways
- Enlight is a seven-axis robot with force-torque sensors in each joint, enabling whole-body touch sensitivity and tactile pattern recognition.
- Weighing 15 kg, Enlight features four joints with 720-degree rotation, offering a large workspace in a compact design.
- Mico combines two Enlight arms under a single control architecture, available in four configurations: Armor, Core, Plus, and Ultra.
- Applications include graphics card manipulation, demonstrated with Nvidia Isaac Sim for force-controlled robotics.
Flexiv's chief robotics scientist highlighted the robots' human-like adaptability and safety, simplifying programming for industrial users. Founded in 2016, Flexiv operates globally, focusing on force control, computer vision, and AI for manufacturing.
