Baxter Robotics Design

Baxter™ by ReThink Robotics

Research, Display and Control Design, Engineering Development, Usability Requirements

Baxter is a low-cost automation solution that is fast, efficient, and works safely and intelligently shoulder-to-shoulder with people. Baxter has considerable task flexibility and is readily integrated into diverse manufacturing environments. Baxter's smart programming and intuitive user control make it easy to set up and allows real-time flexibility to move from one task to another. With an achievable price point, Baxter is an easy sell to small and midsize manufacturing companies who are usually priced out of the automation.

Challenge

Manta worked with Rethink Robotics to define use cases and user needs, develop Baxter’s user interface control scheme, and design aesthetic and enclosure designs, while keeping the cost affordable for the target market.

Result

Manta collaborated with Rethink Robotics to help develop this highly flexible and easily adaptable manufacturing robot. Key areas of responsibility included usability requirements, display and control design, development of all robotics enclosures, and mobile base design.
