Swarfcast Ep. 87 – A 7-Axis Collaborative Robot for Non-Programmers, with Zac Bogart
Today’s guest on the show is Zac Bogart, founder of Productive Robotics.
Productive Robotics manufactures a 7-axis collaborative robot called the OB7. Zac says that the OB7 is different from other robots because it can’t be programmed with code, it only works by the operator showing it what to do. Also, by featuring 7 axes rather than the 6 axes of a typical robot, the OB7 has the ability to do more awkward human-like movements, such as grabbing a part inside a CNC machine while not being directly in front its door.
