Adept Quattro Is Fastest Ever, For The Moment

Writing by Evan Ackerman on Tuesday, 3 of November , 2009 at 12:22 am

I love the inhuman speed of pick and place robots. We’ve seen a lot of incredible examples from ABB, but Adept Technology has just broken the “300 cycle per minute barrier” with their Quattro robot. The secret, they say, is that using four arms instead of three enables higher speeds and faster accelerations. If you want to see what 300 cycles per second looks like, pay attention at about 1:30 in the video and remind yourself that you’re not watching it on super fast forward.
