YuMi can operate in very close collaboration with humans thanks to its inherently safe design. It has a lightweight yet rigid magnesium skeleton, covered with a floating plastic casing wrapped in soft padding to absorb impacts. YuMi is also compact, with human dimensions and human movements, which makes humans coworkers feel safe and comfortable.

Shown here is one of 12 automated feeding systems. Including both left and right sides, each feeding system deploys 180 rollers in clusters of six. Each cluster has its own sensor, its own stepper motor/drive combo, and its own controller. Because each cluster communicates with the ones around it, each controller knows if the overall goal of singulating the flow of pouches will be better accomplished by speeding up or slowing down its six rollers.
