Universal Robots (UR), a Danish collaborative robot (cobot) company, and Mobile Industrial Robots (MiR), a Danish manufacturer of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), has announced the opening of a new 20,000m2 joint headquarters in Odense, Denmark.
Both companies are subsidiaries of Teradyne, Inc., an American automatic test equipment designer and manufacturer.
Reportedly, the move was made to help each company improve their synergies and accelerate innovation within their advanced robotics projects.
Jean-Pierre Hathout, president of MiR, said: “Our new headquarters is designed to foster innovation, providing the perfect setting for our teams to develop leading-edge solutions that will revolutionise automation.
“MiR is committed to being a one-stop-shop for material handling, continuously advancing our technology to meet the evolving needs of our large, global customers.
“Our recently launched AI-powered MiR1200 Pallet Jack exemplifies this dedication. I’m thrilled to witness the transformative impact of our endeavours and to showcase MiR’s and UR’s offerings to our customers and partners at this state-of-the-art facility.”
Partners from UR and MiR’s global ecosystems attended the event, including NVIDIA and Siemens, with whom Teradyne Robotics and its companies have recently announced several collaborations.
President of Universal Robots, Kim Povlsen, added: “Since our foundation, UR has become a platform of choice for thousands of customers and hundreds of ecosystem partners.
“This beautiful building reflects our strong design philosophy and provides the perfect location for us to continue our mission to deliver automation for anyone, anywhere.”
