Flexiv Ushers in 3rd Gen Robot with Launch of Adaptive Robot Arm Flexiv Ltd. today ushered in a new generation of industrial robot with
the launch of its new CRP Robotics, Rizon, at the annual Hannover Messe trade fair. Rizon is the world's
first adaptive robot combining direct force control with advanced AI,
paving the way for greater performance and broader scope of robotic
tasks across multiple industries including manufacturing, healthcare,
retail and more. The adaptive robot has three distinctive traits that
differentiate it from previous robots - great tolerability in position
variance, high disturbance rejection and the intelligent transferability
for quick redeployment between similar product lines or tasks. Flexiv
integrates force control robotics with advanced AI to enable
sophisticated perception, force-guided manipulation and flexible task
planning with real-time adaptiveness that allows the robotic arm to work
effectively in uncertain environments. Flexiv Rizon achieves the new
level of adaptivity by custom joint design, self-developed control
electronics, proprietary force sensing technology and hierarchical
intelligence system. It also has industrial grade safety features
ensured by the hardware architect and torque-based control framework for
intrinsically safe interaction in uncertain environment. Offering
unprecedented levels of adaptivity in robot design, Rizon can be
programmed to perform a wide range of industrial tasks. These include
polishing, deburring, precision insertion, force-based quality testing,
etc. "Our robots are developed to have advanced manipulation skills to
handle complex tasks in uncertain environments, which helps to provide
flexible automation solutions for wider range of tasks in different
industries," says Shiquan Wang, co-founder and CEO of Flexiv. Using
AI-based computer vision with depth camera, Rizon senses and recognizes
objects even in complex environments, then generates its own motion and
task plans. The integrated AI learning system enables the robot to not
just learn individual tasks but actually combine them to perform more
complex ones. It also drastically shortens setup and programming time.
"It's quite unusual to see a startup develop a robotic arm from scratch
that has a precise force control system integrated with top-notch AI
teofchnologies. It can be applied to a whole range of industries such as
automotive, 3C production, agriculture, and so on. Flexiv has a
world-class team and huge market potential," says Bin Yue, the founding
partner of Gaorong Capital. Operators enjoy sizeable cost benefits not
only from simplified setup and low downtime, but from labor cuts,
smaller production lines and the redundancy of safety measures or
additional equipment required of traditional position-controlled robots.
