Detachable Mobile Manipulator Robot



Rethink Reacher has launched the Rethink Ryder AMR line and the Rethink Riser MMR. Combining a Rethink Ryder AMR with a Rethink Reacher cobot and a portable battery box allows mobile manipulation to be performed at high levels of efficiency.

The Rethink Reacher and Rethink Ryder, components of the Rethink Riser, each have their own battery packs, requiring separate charging. The Rethink Reacher offers 22-hour uptime. The Rethink Ryder can be charged in two ways: manually or wirelessly through inductive charging. Each Ryder comes equipped with three or four battery units based on its size. If higher uptime is required, customers can request up to two additional battery units per Ryder.

The control box that comes with Reacher is a compact and integrated unit designed to manage and control the robot's operations. This control box houses the essential electronics, including the robot's processor, power supply and communication interfaces. It serves as the central hub for executing commands, processing sensor data and coordinating the robot's movements. The Rethink Riser's control box is added as an attachment onto the Ryder so it can fully move along with it in combination with the Reacher cobot arm.

"Rethink Riser is suited for intermittent pick & place operations and machine tending applications where cycle times are relatively long, making it difficult to justify the purchase of a dedicated cobot for each station," said a company spokesperson. "Rethink Riser allows flexible cobot redeployment, with each component achieving its maximum ROI potential."
