Genesis Robotics launches LiveDrive LDD 1800 series direct-drive actuators, that enable high speed, oil-free, low maintenance operations.

Conventional robotic actuators use a very traditional design of electric motors and gear systems to make robots move. These geared systems suffer from many limitations: Low speed, which limits productivity; play between the gears (known as backlash) which limits precision; high inertia that prevents rapid safety stops; high backdrive friction, which (with high inertia) makes gear systems […]

Genesis Robotics’ LiveDrive direct drive motors will be incorporated into Demaurex’s high-speed Delta pick-and-place robots.

Twenty startups were funded in April 2018. Fifteen disclosed transaction amounts totaling $828 million of which the $620 million to SenseTime, the Alibaba-funded Chinese deep learning and facial recognition software provider focused on smart self-driving vehicle systems, was by far the largest. Year to date, fundings total $2.3 billion! Seven acquisitions also occurred in April.…

Koch Chemical Technology Group (KCTG) has made a strategic and controlling investment in Genesis Advanced Technology. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. KCTG is the industrial-technology and engineered-equipment unit of Koch Industries. Under the agreement, a new company called Genesis Robotics and Motion Technologies (Genesis Robotics) will commercialize electric motor and actuation technologies, including the…

In a recent interview, Lisa Eitel of The Robot Report chatted with Mike Hilton, CEO of startup Genesis Robotics. This spinoff of Genesis Advanced Technology focuses on R&D in robotics, oil and gas, medical, human performance, and clean-energy industries. The company recently announced an actuator that’s particularly suitable for powering the joints in SCARA robot…
