Companies developing robotic systems across different vertical markets continue to announce partnerships and collaboration agreements to expand the use of robotics systems to address a variety of problems.
Remotec, a subsidiary of Northrop Grumman, has announced a distribution agreement with Kinova for the Kinova Remote Robotic Manipulation System.
The agreement will allow Remotec customers to access a small manipulator for use as a tool and accessory on the Remotec’s Andros line of mobile robotic systems.
“The improved dexterity afforded by this robotic arm was identified as a critical need by the first responder community, particularly for bomb and explosive ordnance disposal (EOD),” said Dan Verweil, vice president and general manager, combat systems and mission readiness at Northrop Grumman.
When used as a secondary, highly dexterous small arm, the Kinova Remote Robotic Manipulation System will enable more precise video-guided manipulation of potentially hazardous materials, the company said.
“We are proud to partner with Remotec, the largest provider of robots to the first responder market,” said Francois Boucher, executive vice president at Kinova.
