Collaborative Robotics, a leader in practical collaborative robots (cobots), and founded by the team that helped scale Amazon Robotics to over 500,000 robots, announced the public launch of its robot, Proxie. The first of its kind, highly adaptable, collaborative robot takes on the demanding material handling tasks that keep the world moving. Cobot is incredibly proud to count as some of its first customers industry leaders Maersk, Mayo Clinic, Moderna, Owens & Minor, and Tampa General Hospital.
