MassRobotics, SICK partner to assist robotics startups

By The Robot Report Staff | June 12, 2019


SICK MassRobotics

SICK, Inc., a manufacturer of sensor solutions for industrial applications, has partnered with MassRobotics. With this partnership, local and global robotics startups and corporations will have better access to sensor and safety solutions from SICK.

MassRobotics is a nonprofit organization located in Boston. MassRobotics is the strategic partner of the Robotics Summit & Expo, which is produced by The Robot Report and parent company WTWH Media.

After seeing the massive growth in the robotics and automation industry, MassRobotics was created to provide an innovation hub and startup cluster focused on the needs of the robotics community. The organization works to foster a collaborative space to inspire the next generation of robotics and automation innovators and builders.

MassRobotics“We are very excited to have SICK joining our rapidly growing group of strategic partners,” said Fady Saad, Co-founder & Director of Partnerships at MassRobotics. “We believe that a world-leading company like SICK has a lot to offer to our startups, especially ones innovating in the mobile robots space.”

The mission of MassRobotics is to help create the next generation of successful robotics and automation companies by providing work spaces and resources needed to develop, prototype, test, and commercialize products and solutions.

“We are excited to partner with MassRobotics and help robotics and automation startups get better access to innovative sensor solutions,” said Tony Peet, CEO at SICK, Inc. “Our expansive applications and solutions experience, coupled with our deep knowledge in robotic safety requirements, will assist these companies to quickly gain traction and grow.”

SICK is a manufacturer of sensor technology in the field of robotics. LiDAR technology from SICK can be used for robotics safety and navigation and machine vision systems are used for robotics perception and end-of-arm tooling. SICK’s deep learning and sensing solutions were on display at the Robotics Summit & Expo.

With SICK’s product portfolio, up-and-coming robotics and automation startups will gain better access to sensor technology needed to help their machines operate efficiently and safely.

    Hi, I think that future jobs depend on pre-schoolers learning to draw and color using professional 3D CAD modeling software so that they learn skills they can use all the way through their schooling years and maybe help to encourage some to go into all the various engineering professions as well as general art. Electronics engineers can be more creative if their minds have been spurred to be more creative from simple pre-school art classes using 3D CAD modeling. Same for mechanical engineers and software engineers. I also think being masters at 3D CAD modeling from pre-school age can help to empower young children’s egos and pride.

    Dear TRR editor, I did come across the news on SICK Inc incorporating with MassRobotics. Thank you for elaborating the same through this article underlining the factor on how to bring about better contact to both sensor and safety solutions as far as startups and corporations are concerned both locally and globally.
