HKM1800 pick and place robot

A scalable picking system for warehouse and industrial automation, with the reach of a large serial robot and the pace of a delta. Built from low-weight, high-performance material with very little moving mass.

Long distances, several pick and place positions over a large surface, and low energy use while doing it.

Programmed with Juliet & Romeo

HKM1800 ships with model-based motion control and Cognibotics' own programming platform, which coordinates robot motion, vision, tooling and the systems around the cell in one workflow.
