Collaborative robots are increasingly being used in industrial applications such as material removal. Kane Robotics today said it will exhibit with three different partners at Automate 2023 this week in Detroit. The company’s GRIT™ cobot works alongside people to perform a wide variety of labor-intensive finishing tasks.

“If a person’s doing it, we can train a cobot to do it,” stated Alan Hiken, chief operating officer at Kane Robotics. “We’re not reinventing new processes to automate; we’re helping manufacturers move to new tools that will make them more efficient.”

“We’re excited to be in this space,” said John Spruce, founder and CEO of Kane Robotics. “3M is a big proponent of robotic finishing. It’s typically a very hard problem, and there’s not a lot of penetration of automation into finishing.”
