Robots including humanoids are complex and typically require components from multiple suppliers. Tokens.com Corp., now known as Realbotix, this week announced a strategic partnership with ROBOTIS Inc.
The companies said the agreement designates robotics and artificial intelligence developer Realbotix as an official partner to facilitate integration with technologies from ROBOTIS. As part of the agreement, Realbotix will have preferred purchaser status and pricing for ROBOTIS components, including its DYNAMIXEL line of actuators and motors.
The collaborators claimed that these actuators and motors allow for smoother, more human-like movements for Realbotix’s robot line.
ROBOTIS provides parts for a range of robots
Seoul, South Korea-based ROBOTIS is a manufacturer of robotic hardware. It specializes in components and full robot platforms for use in all fields of study and industry. It has also offered systems based on the Robot Operating System (ROS) and educational robotics kits for all ages and skill levels.
The company’s DYNAMIXEL line of modular actuators comes in various sizes, power levels, and features.
In addition to its robot components, ROBOTIS also offers an indoor and an outdoor delivery robot. It said these robots are capable of autonomous deliveries of food, beverages, and parcels in urban areas, apartment communities, hotels, and offices.
Inside Realbotix’s human-like robots
“Partnering with ROBOTIS Inc., a leader in advanced robotic technologies, allows us to integrate their state-of-the-art motors into our innovative customizable robots,” stated Andrew Kiguel, CEO of Realbotix.
“This collaboration enhances our product capabilities and expands our market reach,” he added. “Together, we are poised to push the boundaries of what’s possible in robotics and deliver exceptional value to our customers.”
Realbotix is a developer of humanoid robotics and relationship-based AI. The San Marcos, Calif.-based company said it is creating customizable robots with human-like appearance and movements.
In addition, Realbotix asserted that it specifically developed its proprietary AI for human companionship. It asserted that its strength is in the integration of companionship AI and robotics to improve the human condition through connection, learning, and play. Realbotix said its algorithms are also customizable, allowing users to choose how their robots behave and speak.
Realbotix’s robots have a modular structure, which the company says allows for easier maintenance, support, and upgrades. The company offers customizable faces, created with human-synthetic skin, that have 14 movable points. Having more moveable points means the robots can show off a wider range of facial expressions.
