R2 Robotic Platform
Where a Simple, Reliable Hardware Meets Very Smart Software
Motion
R2 robots are capable of omnidirectional movements thanks to the mecanum wheels design. These special wheels are capable of moving R2 robot to any direction instantaneously by the combination of independent wheel rotations.
Precision, high-torque wheel motors control each wheel independently and can propel R2 robot at a variety of speeds, ranging from a very slow crawl to up to 5mph sprints.
Tight-space maneuverer, spot turns and tiny position adjustments ensure that robot is in the best position near the Workspace to perform assigned Task as efficiently and safe as possible.
Manipulator
R2 Robotic arm with 8 degrees of freedom and 3.2ft (1m) reach is ideal for performing tasks that require accuracy and precision to some heavy-duty tasks that requires more force. We use very sophisticated brushless servo motors (multi-phase, synchronous, permanent magnet, brushless, servo motors to be exact) to control and operate our robotic arm.
Our gearboxes are high-end harmonic reducers. Based on the strain-wave principle there is zero backlash and extraordinary precision for controlling each section of the arm from the software.

Gripper
R2 can serve many functions and can be equipped with custom end-of-arm tooling (end grippers/effectors). We’ve designed a variety of grippers for our R2 robots. From heavy duty to a high-precision operations grippers can pick a wide variety of objects from a variety of angles.
The high-precision gripper is ideally suited for such small objects as laboratory tube or a 96 well-plate, while a larger gripper is capable of grasping objects up to 3 – 3.2 inches in diameter (75-80mm) and lifting 4-5lb (2-3kg) loads at full arm length. That’s enough to pick and place a box of bottle of reagents, for example.
Additionally to mechanical grippers, we offer vacuum grippers for objects that can’t be picked otherwise.
Vision
R2 robots are equipped with stereo depth vision – an ability to see, measure, analyze, and respond to their environment and that opens a whole new world of possibilities!
Vison technology give R2 robots the ability to navigate Environments, avoid obstacles and recognize objects, people and more.
R2 robots stereo image sensing technologies use two cameras to calculate depth and enable R2 to see, understand, interact with, and learn from their Environment. Vision cameras work indoors in a wide variety of lighting conditions, from semi-dark to very bright, without the need for any calibration.
