OMRON Partners with NEURA Robotics to Unveil New Cognitive Robot and Seamless Integration of Automation Technologies at Automate 2024
OMRON and Neura Robotics to unveil new line of cognitive robots and advanced AI-driven automation technologies at Automate.
OMRON, leading solution provider in industrial automation, and Neura Robotics GmbH, innovation leader in cognitive robotics, recently announced their strategic partnership aimed at revolutionizing manufacturing efficiency through advanced AI-driven cognitive automation technologies. This collaboration will be highlighted at the upcoming Automate trade show in Chicago May 6-9 at McCormick Place, booth #2267, where the two companies will introduce the new OMRON intelligent Cognitive Robot (iCR) series.
The OMRON iCR, derived from NEURA Robotics' MaiRA line, leverages integrated sensors and AI technologies to address the needs of industrial customers for flexibility, productivity, and efficiency. These robots boast an optional integrated 3D vision sensor, intuitive user-friendly interface, and NEURA's advanced safety architecture for improved performance and safety.
The potential of the new robot will be showcased at Automate through a 3D bin-picking demonstration. This demo will provide an insight into how AI-enabled, cognitive automation can enhance and redefine the efficiency and flexibility of manufacturing processes. It will also showcase the impressive integration of OMRON's all-in-one Sysmac control platform, highlighting its ability to streamline complex operations.
David Reger, founder, CEO and visionary at NEURA Robotics, reflected on the partnership by saying, "Our strategic alliance with OMRON signifies a new era in industrial automation, revolutionizing the global robotics market. With the intelligent Cognitive Robot iCR, we are removing usage barriers, expanding applications, and setting new industry benchmarks in manufacturing. "
Olivier Welker, President and CEO of Omron Robotics and Safety Technologies Inc. Also expressed his enthusiasm, „We are thrilled to announce this next step in our partnership with NEURA. The OMRON iCR represents our commitment to pushing the boundaries of industrial automation and driving innovation in the manufacturing sector. We are confident in our ability to deliver state-of-the-art solutions that will meet the evolving needs of our customers and further establish OMRON as a leader in automation."
Omron and NEURA Robotics invite all attendees at Automate to engage with their technologies, share insights, and discuss the future potential of automation in their manufacturing environments.

Featured Product
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.
