About HumanoidPower

HumanoidPower is a division of Rollomatic SA headquartered in Le Landeron, Switzerland. The company offers integrated robot automation solutions based on the two-armed, humanoid industrial robot NEXTAGE NXA from the Japanese manufacturer Kawada Robotics. The robot has 15 axes, four integrated video cameras and can be integrated directly into work environments designed for humans without modifying the production line. HumanoidPower covers the entire project cycle: consulting, development, project-specific programming, training and installation, including the replacement of existing applications. In addition, the division designs and manufactures application-specific grippers and tool changer holders and offers SMART MOMA, a mobile handling system. A focus is on processes in the medical industry, where automation can adopt existing validated procedures unchanged.
