Rethink Robotics Software Driving Innovation
Baxter with Intera 3 is twice as fast and twice as precise!
 
When they launched their flagship robot Baxter, Rethink Robotics introduced a revolutionary concept - safe collaborative robots.  They have now launched Intera 3 - the latest and by far the most impressive version of our software platform for manufacturing and production applications.  
 
As a result, Baxter - America's favorite collaborative robot - has gotten a promotion.  
 
Compared with the original version of the robot that first shipped in early 2013, Baxter with Intera 3 features:
  • 2-3 times the speed
  • Twice the precision
  • Smoother, more fluid motion
  • Easier, faster training
  • Expanded application opportunities

  • Maximum insensitivity to dust and dirt contamination
  • Rugged Housing offers high resistance to cleaning agents
  • 400mm detection range
  • Reliable detection of transparent objects such as trays or bottles
