DoBot Robotics signs letter of intent with VenHub

-

DoBot Robotics, a collaborative robot (cobot) arms developer, has entered into a Letter of Intent with VenHub, a company developing a modular retail platform built on expendable containers. 

This Letter of Intent sets the stage for exploratory discussions between DoBot and VenHub that the companies say could alter the face of the retail and robotics landscape. It outlines the initial understanding between the two companies and marks the start of a strong strategic partnership for future collaboration. 

The joint exploration between the two companies show a commitment from both companies to their pursuit of innovation that pushes the boundaries and transcends traditional shopping experiences. 

“Our mission at DoBot has always been to transform how we live, work, and interact with groundbreaking robotic technology,” Jerry Liu, CEO of DoBot Robotics, said. “The opportunity to explore a partnership with VenHub, a company that shares our passion for innovation, is genuinely exhilarating.”

The companies plan to blend innovative retail systems, which VenHub is developing, with DoBot’s advanced robotics. DoBot and VenHub are working towards a future where operational efficiencies and the consumer experience are intertwined. 

“Both VenHub and DoBot Robotics share a commitment to revolutionize our respective industries. This shared vision makes this potential partnership exceptionally thrilling,” Shahan Ohanessian, CEO of VenHub, said. “We believe that by combining our resources, we can create a retail ecosystem that is not just about buying and selling, but about enhancing everyday experiences for consumers worldwide.”

“This partnership holds the promise of unlocking new potential in the retail space,” Ohanessian continued. “We are excited about the possibilities ahead of VenHub, for our shareholders, pre-order clients, and worldwide partners. Please stay tuned as our journey continues with limitless possibilities.”

With the introduction of DoBot’s latest robot in April 2023, the company has reached yet another important milestone in the development of its product line. It now has a comprehensive product matrix that includes payloads ranging from 1.3 lb (0.5 kg) to 53.6 lb (20 kg) in order to accommodate a larger variety of application scenarios.

VenHub is developing fully autonomous, AI-driven smart stores that can take the form of convenience stores, retail stores, and gas and electric stations. At these smart stores, customers can order the products they want with a tablet at the ordering window. Their order is then picked by a robot arm, and when it’s finished can be picked up at a pickup window.

Chipotle Mexican Grill announced Autocado, an avocado processing cobotic prototype that cuts, cores, and peels avocados before they are hand mashed to create the restaurant’s famous guacamole. The prototype, developed in collaboration with Vebu , is currently being tested at the Chipotle Cultivate Center in Irvine , California.  How Autocado works  A team member loads Autocado with a full case of ripe avocados and selects the size setting. Autocado can hold up to 25 lbs. of avocados at once. One at a time, avocados are vertically oriented, then transferred to the processing device. The avocados are sliced in half. Their cores and skin are automatically removed, and the waste is discarded.  The fruit is safely collected in a stainless-steel bowl at the bottom of the device.  A team member removes the bowl of avocado fruit and moves it to the counter where they add additional ingredients and hand mash the avocados to make Chipotle’s signature guacamole.  How the Autocado idea s

Intrinsic tested its latest platform and Flowstate with Comau , an Italian-based robot manufacturer and global systems integrator. Comau has been working with Intrinsic for several years now to validate Intrinsic’s platform technology and developer product, Flowstate, through real-world use cases.  Flowstate, announced earlier this year in May , is a robotic software development platform. It’s Intrinsic’s first developer product built on the Intrinsic platform. Comau was also introduced as the company’s first industry partner in May.  The Intrinsic Flowstate software  adds a layer of abstraction to traditional robotic software tools with the goal of reducing the development skillset required while making it easier than ever before to program a robot in simulation. “Partnering with Comau over the years has brought our team a tremendous amount of expertise, knowledge, and real-world use cases to focus our efforts on. We’re excited for what’s next and what it will mean to the solutio
