Innovators offered chance to develop their ideas with world leading robotics manufacturer ABB Robotics
New industrial robotics accelerator launches today ---- The IdeaHub connecting robotics innovators worldwide with ABB Robotics - leading manufacturer of industrial robots, ---- Applications can be submitted online via: http://www.theideahub.co.uk/challenges.html until 7th July 2015 ---- Winning applicants can receive funding, development support and access to industrial robots to further develop their ideas
London, U.K. - 7 May 2015 - You live and learn, but robots do neither. Are you the one to change that? Innovation platform The IdeaHub is recruiting robotics innovators worldwide to take up a unique opportunity to pitch their ideas to world leading industrial robotics manufacturer, ABB Robotics.
The IdeaHub connects innovators worldwide with funding and support from global corporations and is now seeking new ideas and technologies in the cutting edge field of industrial robotics. For this challenge, the IdeaHub is working with ABB Robotics, whose breakthrough new collaborative robot, YuMi, is changing the way robots and humans work together thanks to its inherently safe design.
The IdeaHub is accepting applications which fit within any of three great challenges for the future of robotics: how to simplify robotics, how to enable robots to learn and apply that learning and finally, solutions that can address the evolving robot ecosystem.
The IdeaHub platform launches today and is open for applications until 7th July 2015. Successful applicants will get the chance to pitch their ideas directly to ABB Robotics at an IdeaHub event in August 2015. The best pitches will get an offer which can include funding, access to robots, technology and commercial support as appropriate to the needs of their business.
Simon Blair, from the IdeaHub said, "This is a great opportunity for robotics innovators and entrepreneurs around the world to collaborate with a leading robotics company and take their idea to the next level. Are you looking for funding for your robotics idea or venture? Could you benefit from access to industrial robots for testing or proof of concept? Then we want to hear from you."
Applying to the IdeaHub takes a few minutes and only requires information already in the public domain.
Featured Product
Model TR1 Tru-Trac
The Model TR1 Tru-Trac® linear measurement solution is a versatile option for tracking velocity, position, or distance over a wide variety of surfaces. An integrated encoder, measuring wheel, and spring-loaded torsion arm in one, compact unit, the Model TR1 is easy to install. The spring-loaded torsion arm offers adjustable torsion load, allowing the Model TR1 to be mounted in almost any orientation - even upside-down. The threaded shaft on the pivot axis is field reversible, providing mounting access from either side. With operating speeds up to 3000 feet per minute, a wide variety of configuration options - including multiple wheel material options - and a housing made from a durable, conductive composite material that minimizes static buildup, the Model TR1 Tru-Trac® is the ideal solution for countless applications.
