Sarcos Technology and Robotics Corporation Meets Development Milestone for its Guardian® XT™ Robotic Avatar System
The Guardian XT system is a dual-armed teleoperated robot designed to perform tasks with human-like dexterity while keeping the operator at a safe distance in challenging and hazardous conditions, including at height.
Sarcos Technology and Robotics Corporation ("Sarcos") (NASDAQ: STRC and STRCW) today announced that the Company successfully completed assembly of the Beta version of the Guardian® XT™ teleoperated dexterous mobile robotic avatar system at the end of 2021, as scheduled. The Guardian XT robot is an upper-body variant of the award-winning Sarcos Guardian® XO® full-body, battery-powered industrial exoskeleton.
Sarcos is currently conducting internal Beta testing of the Guardian XT robotic avatar system and expects to deliver units to partners for additional testing in mid-2022. Sarcos expects to commence initial production of the first commercial units of the Guardian XT robot, which will incorporate learnings from the Beta tests, at the end of 2022.
"We are extremely pleased with the progress we've made in the development of our Guardian XT robotic system," said Kiva Allgood, president and CEO, Sarcos. "We've made some notable improvements to the Beta version, and ultimately, we believe this robot will have a significant and positive impact on a variety of industries, enabling increased productivity while keeping the operator out of harm's way."

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
