Rethink Robots™

Rethink Robotics' robots will be showing up in all sorts of unexpected places – from small job shops to global manufacturing giants – where robots were not considered feasible due to expense or inflexibility. And at these companies, the human workforce is getting a promotion: from performing repetitive tasks to training and supervising robots.

The result? Greater productivity. Fewer repetitive motion injuries. And a more productive, well-trained workforce.

ONExia is hosting another Baxter Meet and Greet later this spring. Sign up for our Meet and Greet to see Baxter in action!

Rethink Robotics Baxter™ - A Different Kind of Robot

Versatile. Affordable. Common Sense. These are not phrases typically associated with industrial robots, to be sure. But then, these are no ordinary industrial robots.

Baxter is a groundbreaking solution for manufacturers of all sizes. In addition to its uniquely low price point, Baxter offers six fundamental differences that distinguish it from traditional industrial robots.

No Programming

Line workers can train Baxter in minutes, with no expertise in software, robotics or engineering required. In addition, Baxter retains tasks quickly for fast line changeovers

No Safety Cages

Baxter was designed with a comprehensive safety system which makes it feasible for working without barriers and in close proximity to people in a production environment.

No Integration

Baxter is a complete system (hardware, software, controls, user interface, safety, sensors) that can be taken out of the box, plugged into a standard outlet, trained and working in under an hour.

Works Intelligently

Baxter is designed and programmed to perform a wide range of manufacturing and production task; it is aware of its environment, and automatically adjusts to changes.

Versatile and Capable

Baxter was designed to perform simple, repetitive tasks quickly and efficiently, freeing people to focus on higher-level, more value-added activities.

Extensible Platform

Baxter is a complete, yet fully extensivle platform which includes all necessary software, with updates providedregularly to enhance capabilities and performance. Our Software Development Kit (SDK) will enable custom programming of specialized and proprietary tasks.

Baxter™ Software 1.1

Baxter

Every Baxter will now ship with version 1.1

The Baxter 1.1 software introduces Machine Sync Input/Output (I/O) Signaling and Sequencing functionality to Baxter's capabilities. This is a major enhancement which will enable tighter integration with customers' existing automation systems, and further increase the number of tasks the robot can perform. As always, this is a no-charge software upgrade for existing Baxter customers under warranty.

Your Choice of End Effectors

Rethink Robotics offers two interchangeable end-effectors that enable Baxter to work with a wide range of objects. Use one of each or two identical ones, whichever you prefer. The simple attachment method enables you to change end-effectors in minutes.
Electric Parallel Grippers enable Baxter to pick up a wide range of objects of varying sizes. They include:
  • A grip force sensor for positive detection of item aquisition
  • Interchangeable fingers of different lengths
  • Interchangeable fingertips that can be customized for specific objects

Electric parallel grippers provide one degree of freedom with multiple grasp widths, deliver an actuation time of less than one second and allow Baxter to pick up from the outside or inside an object.

Vacuum Cup Grippers can be used for more hard-to-grasp objects, inlcuding those that are smooth, non-porous or relatively flat. They include:
  • A sensor that detects air pressure for positive indication of item acquisition
  • Vacuum Lines
  • Interchangeable vacuum cups of varying sizes
  • Mounting Extensions
  • Solenoid valve

Vacuum cup grippers greatly reduce the risk of marring an object's finish, make it easy to pick flat objects off a stack and often allow you to expedite operations. They allow a maximum payload of up to five pounds, and must be connected to your external air supply line.

A New Opportunity to In-Source

As rising costs and increasing demand continue to push manufacturing overseas, Baxter provides a low-cost, highreturn alternative to offshoring. By using it to keep those processes in-house with Baxter, manufacturers can ramp up production more cost effectively, protect intellectual property, streamline supply chains and enable a more productive, satisfied and well-trained workforce.
