Rethink Robotics (Bosto, MA) announced the Rethink Riser MMR at IMTS 2024 in Chicago, combining a Rethink Ryder AMR with a Rethink Reacher cobot and a portable battery box that allows mobile manipulation to be performed at new levels of efficiency.
Features:
- Rethink Reacher and Rethink Ryder, components of the Rethink Riser, each have their own battery packs, requiring separate charging
- Rethink Reacher offers 22-hour uptime
- Rethink Ryder can be charged manually or wirelessly through inductive charging
- Each Ryder comes equipped with three or four battery units based on its size
- Option for two additional battery units per Ryder
The control box that comes with Reacher is a compact and integrated unit designed to manage and control the robot’s operations. This control box houses the essential electronics, including the robot’s processor, power supply and communication interfaces.
It serves as the central hub for executing commands, processing sensor data and coordinating the robot’s movements.
The Rethink Riser’s control box is added as an attachment onto the Ryder so it can fully move along with it in combination with the Reacher cobot arm.
