the power of precision

Ascend Robotics and Black-i Robotics have teamed to create the first mobile autonomous heavy lift arm system for logistics and manufacturing applications. Ascend’s expertise in vision-guided arm control and human-centered robot control interfaces combines with Black-i’s deep experience designing and building rugged, heavy-payload robots for DARPA and US DoD. The Fullscope Arm is configurable for payloads up to 100 pounds. Delivered as a turnkey mobile manipulation system, integrated with your MES or WMS Or readily integrated onto your AMRs and…

Ascend Robotics CEO David Askey will share lessons learned from development of systems and workflows that provide close collaboration and teaming of people with robots.  Successful teaming can dramatically improve worker safety, reduce human error, and deliver task traceability.  We’ve found many gotchas on the path to effective teaming, and worker joy when teaming is implemented well.     Join us March 10, 2020 at Modex.  We look forward to a lively discussion.

Learn how task-driven navigation and manipulation in unmapped environments can automate tasks in your facilities.  Our approach lets the robotics systems adapt to your workflow and work safely near people, and provides a low-risk path to onboard automation.     Contact Ascend to arrange a meeting at CES 2020 or schedule a site visit to see the robots in action.
