Hi, I'm Sarah Andrzejewski, product manager of software solutions at Yaskawa Motoman. And here at Pack Expo, we're displaying our new Motoman NEXT robot. It's our AI autonomous solution robotic system.

And so here you can see our NEXT 10 manipulator. It has a 10 kilogram payload. It also comes with a YNX 1000 controller, which is brand new. It contains an autonomous control unit, which runs on an NVIDIA Jetson Orin. And that's where all of the AI processing is done.

And so in this demo, what we have it doing is it's locating various hardware packages using Intel real sense cameras, and then sorting them. It can be used in a wide array of industries, pretty much anything where you have picking, placing, sortation, packaging.

We worked with NVIDIA to create this demo and we used Isaac SIM, Isaac Perceptor, and they helped us with the model detection. And so, the important part of this is that no points were hard programmed in this. We used task and skill based programming to locate the objects and then sort them.

Alright, so if you want to come check out Modoman next, we are at booth N5736. So come give us a, a wave, say hi.
