- Additional Information
- - Historic product: Sawyer was developed by Rethink Robotics, a pioneering U.S. cobot company (later acquired/ceased operations), now distributed/supported by partners like Goldberg Systems. - Differentiator: 7-DOF arm (unusual among cobots) allows maneuverability in tight spaces designed for humans; built-in force sensing enables adaptive, precise tasks without external sensors. - Collaborative focus: marketed as a co-worker, not a replacement, with AI capabilities for human-robot collaboration (HRC). - Known limitations: given the company's history, long-term support and parts availability should be verified; payload capacity not listed on this page (likely ~4 kg based on historical specs). - No pricing, warranty, or detailed software/communication protocol information provided on this page.
