We are moving towards cognitive robots, more "aware" nowadays through the addition of sensing capabilities. What’s more, dedicated safety systems allow the creation of fenceless robot cells. These capabilities create opportunities to combine the strengths of robots (such as speed, load capacity and accuracy) with the flexibility of humans in shared workspaces, opening up new avenues for automation. Discover your options with Sirris.
Industrial robots
Numerous applications for industrial robots
From articulated, cylindrical and cartesian robots to SCARA and delta robots, there’s a wide range of industrial robots to choose from. Each type of robot can operate along one or more axes and is designed for specific applications and movements. Are you curious about whether robots can be used within your specific production environment? Our team of experts at Sirris can help you evaluate the technological and economic feasibility of your automation ideas. Our close ties to the commercial playing field (robot integrators) also allows us to provide extensive support during the implementation phase.
Cognitive industrial robots
One of the main drawbacks of industrial robots is the need for caging to create a safe working environment, implying that true human-robot collaboration is impossible. At Sirris, we are exploring the possibilities of adding sensory capabilities to robots, giving them an enhanced awareness of what's in their surrounding environment (such as materials and humans). Sirris robots are coupled with innovative safety systems, allowing fenceless robotic cells to be created. In our dedicated lab we focus on human-robot collaboration for assembly operations.

Numerous peripherals
Robots are getting more and more capable of completing complex tasks. A large variety of sensors, grippers, vision systems and more is becoming readily available, making it possible to add extra functionalities to robots, resulting in an increasing number of innovative robot applications.
Mature offering
There is an ever-growing number of industrial robot brands and varieties. In addition, there are solid commercial offerings available from both robot manufacturers and integrators. Prices have dropped in recent years, making investments in robotics justifiable, even for small companies.
Easy to use, deploy and maintain
New generations of industrial robots easier than ever to operate. There is a clear trend towards user interfaces that provide simple icon-driven programming. Pioneering companies are bundling hardware packages with software to ease implementation.
Smart applications
Artificial intelligence in robotics is rapidly maturing, with great advances being made in machine learning and computer vision. These advances, in turn, enhance the flexibility, speed and efficiency of industrial robots, paving the way for new and exciting use cases.
