Swisslog’s Lab and Pharmacy Robots
March 23, 2010 | Terry Sharrer
Put in several lab specimens or other materials weighing up to 50 pounds, push a button and watch Swisslog‘s autonomous mobile robot move from its station, down the hall, up an elevator flight, around obstacles and people to its programmed destination. CCS Robotics (Lapeer, MI) manufactures these robots for Swisslog (Buchs/Aarau, Switzerland) under the names “SpeciMinder” (for lab specimens) and “RoboCourier” for heavier pharmacy materials. MORE
