Meet Baxter, the robot with common sense
Astute. Aware. Affordable. Not words commonly associated with robots. But Baxter, our flagship product, changes all that.
Unlike its predecessors, Baxter is an adaptive manufacturing robot. It contains cameras, sensors and sophisticated software that enable it to “see” objects, “feel” forces and “understand” tasks. The result is a robot that automatically adapts to changing environments—it knows what you mean and does what you expect.
Baxter is also significantly less expensive than traditional industrial robots—and much easier to deploy. It can be up and running in under an hour. Train it like you would any other worker – through demonstration. No software engineering or teaching pendant required.
And with the addition of Baxter Research Robot for academic and corporate R&D research labs, Rethink Robotics continues to redefine what's possible. Just as our flagship robot Baxter is revolutionizing the manufacturing world with a safe, affordable and easy to use automation solution, the Baxter Research Robot is revolutionizing how labs of all sizes are able to leverage cutting edge technology to develop their own great innovations.
How is Baxter different?
A breakthrough in manufacturing automation, Baxter transcends the limitations of traditional industrial robots to deliver improved productivity. Learn about the six ways you can expect to be totally surprised.
