SolidWorld Group and Oversonic partner for the global distribution of the Industry 5.0 ready cognitive humanoid robot RoBee
RoBee is ready to be integrated in SolidFactory’s digitalized production lines
Treviso / Besana in Brianza (MB), March 23, 2023 - SolidWorld Group S.p.A., sector leader in digital technologies, 3D printing and additive manufacturing, has just signed a partnership with Oversonic Robotics, a software-hardware company from Brianza that designs and builds cognitive computing systems, applying them, in particular, to the field of humanoid robotics.
The agreement makes SolidWorld Group the official, worldwide distributor of RoBee, the first 100% Made-in-Italy humanoid cognitive robot, built by Oversonic. Through this partnership, RoBee will be available for sale to companies across a world-spanning sales network
RoBee is a robot-machine that copies the look and mechanical structure of the human body, and comes equipped with cognitive abilities, supported by artificial intelligence and computer vision. This means that RoBeee, using omnidirectional wheels, can autonomously navigate its environment, recognize objects and people, interact by voice, using Voice Bot, and perform sophisticated mechanical actions, such as picking and placing. RoBee supports workers in their tasks, and can interact with digitalized production lines, machinery and work centers under human supervision.
RoBee can be easily integrated into cutting-edge, digitalized manufacturing machinery and production systems. SolidFactory Srl, a new SolidWorld Group company, is an industrial contractor bringing high-tech manufacturing systems and digitalized production lines to client companies. RoBee can be integrated into such systems, to help manage machinery and entire production lines, guaranteeing operational continuity and high efficiency and performance.
The robot helps workers carry out repetitive, tiring tasks and perform operations in hazardous, high risk work environments.
According to the International Federation of Robotics, as many as approximately 3.5 million robots are now used operationally. This is a number clearly set to rise, after the growth in traditional robotics seen in the Industry 4.0 transition, with a new thrust coming from the Industry 5.0 plan promoted by the European Community, which will see collaborative robotics and cognition as new technological trends in industrial innovation
Roberto Rizzo, President and CEO of SolidWorld Group S.p.A., comments: “It’s a technological partnership that allows us to take a big step forward in the world of Industry 5.0. We’ll not only be distributing RoBee to companies all over the world, but also integrating it into high-tech production plants built and delivered by SolidFactory. RoBee will be able to interact with machines and digital manufacturing systems, guaranteeing production continuity 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, under human control. It is therefore a fundamental element in delivering to customers entire digitalized, technological turnkey industrial facilities”
Paolo Denti, CEO of Oversonic, comments: “RoBee is the first cognitive humanoid robot made in Italy and available for the industrial market. It’s a product that leverages all the potential of cognition, one of the key elements of the 5.0 transition, articulated in a sustainable and inclusive vision of technological innovation. It’s in line with global market trends, which are seeing an increasing presence of robots in industries. RoBee is a machine created to be fully at the service of people, to free them from repetitive tasks, and tasks hazardous for physical and psychological health, and therefore pursues a model of transformation of manufacturing systems that puts the value of the human being back front and center”
SolidWorld Group S.p.A. and Oversonic Robotics will be at MECSPE 2023(March 29-31, BolognaFiere), the leading international fair for the manufacturing industry. The press are invited to join.
