Doosan Robotics announced on Dec. 14 that it signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on Dec. 13 (local time) with Schiphol International Airport in the Netherlands and the Danish company Cobot Lift for the supply of the Schiphol International Airport Collaborative Robot Luggage Handling System.
Doosan Robotics has developed a solution capable of handling up to 70 kg of luggage by applying Cobot Lift’s vacuum suction technology to its H series collaborative robot, which has a 1.5 m arm length and can lift a maximum of 25 kg. Recently, the company delivered a total of 20 units to Schiphol International Airport as the first installment.
The three companies agreed to gradually introduce this solution to all Schiphol International Airport sites by 2024 and to collaborate on expanding its application to other regions’ airports and logistics centers.
Furthermore, Doosan Robotics signed an MOU with SAM XL, a research institute established at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands for smart manufacturing innovation, for the Future Smart Factory Concept Cooperation for Innovation in the European Manufacturing Sector.
Both parties agreed to jointly develop smart factory collaborative robot solutions tailored for the Dutch manufacturing field and cooperate in their application and commercialization.
