What are research robotics?
Research robotics is often misunderstood and sometimes confused with entry-level, ready-to-use systems designed for younger learners. In reality, research robotics is built for those looking to advance their knowledge and capabilities within real-world environments.
These systems are ideal for students, educators, and aspiring engineers who want to explore the full potential of coding and robotics, as well as organisations aiming to improve productivity through robust, flexible automation solutions such as robotic arms.
If that sounds like what you’re looking for - read on to explore the full breadth of our offering at Rapid.
Types of research robotics
Quadruped
Quadruped robotics, often referred to as robot dogs, is rapidly becoming a key area of innovation within the industry. With new designs and capabilities emerging all the time, these systems are proving their value across a wide range of applications.
At Rapid, we offer a curated selection of quadruped robots in various configurations, giving you the flexibility to choose a solution that fits your specific needs.
Robotic arms
If a quadruped isn’t quite what you’re after, robotic arms offer a powerful and versatile alternative. Widely used across manufacturing and automation environments, they’re also becoming increasingly popular in education settings.
We supply a broad range of robotic arms suited to further and higher education, as well as industries requiring precise, repeatable and efficient automation.
Robotic accessories
To complete your setup, our range of robotic accessories helps you get the most out of your system. From conveyors that improve processing speed to a variety of grippers designed for detailed, precision tasks, these additions take your capabilities to the next level.
Beyond products, we also provide expert support. Our knowledgeable, industry-aware technical team is on hand to help you find the right solution and respond quickly when you need assistance.
If you’re interested in any of the above, feel free to get in touch - we’re here to help.
