Rethink Robotics · Industrial · 2012
A pioneering dual-arm collaborative robot from Rethink Robotics (founded by iRobot/Roomba co-creator Rodney Brooks). Baxter's 7-DoF compliant arms with series-elastic actuators let it work safely beside people and be trained by physical demonstration, with an animated LCD face showing intent. A landmark in accessible factory automation; Rethink shut down in 2018.
Price level: ★★☆☆☆
