Motoman Robots in Research and Education

Robotics has always been a large playfield of research activities. Many break-through robotic technologies, like Machine Vision, Force Sensing or Joining application technologies have been pioneered by Universities or (attached) Research labs. Innovations are caught up by start-ups and grow into industrial and commercial use.

As Robotics is rated to be one of the most important High-Tech Megatrend Technologies, it is essential to teach students in development and use of robotic technology, and inspiring them to contribute to the big rise of the robotics key technology.

YASKAWA are actively supporting this scene, participating on public funding projects, teaching at conferences or seminars, providing latest robotic equipment (e.g. education cells) and - providing the software interfaces commonly used in the R&D community, specifically ROS or LabView. Our innovative robots (e.g. the MotoMini, GP7, HC10 or SDA Dual Arm Robots) are sought-after platforms to work on innovative ideas.
