service robot

Service robots for the disabled must be reliable, safe and easy to use.  The right motion system components are essential for these highly specific applications.

Unlike industrial robots for manufacturing, service robots come with their own specification requirements aimed specifically at the end user, and the most discriminating user at that—a human being.  That’s why designing and manufacturing service robots takes a particular set of skills and engineering expertise.  For example, when Canada-based Kinova Robotics creates designs for this market, the design team brings years of experience in the field.  And although they’ve modified the robots over the years, as new products and systems become readily available, they can produce higher quality and more useable products.  Using the latest technologies allows the designers to continue to advance offerings to the public.
