Cobot gripper investment

21 October 2016

The Danish robot company On Robot has received a capital contribution worth millions of Danish kroner.

The investment is for the further development of their unique collaborative gripper for cobots that are able to work alongside humans. The investment comes from an experienced team of investors with substantial knowledge of the robot environment, including The Danish Growth Fund, Enrico Krog Iversen, former CEO of the successful Danish robot company Universal Robots, as well as Thomas Visti, CEO of Mobile Industrial Robots.

The collaborative RG2 gripper can be mounted on robot arms from Universal Robots and is easily programmable via the same interface as the arm itself. The gripper has been developed by founders Bilge Jacob Christiansen, who himself is a former Universal Robots employee, and Ebbe Overgaard Fuglsang.
