Robotiq is a Canadian industrial robotics company that designs and manufactures adaptive grippers, vacuum grippers, force/torque sensors, wrist cameras, and palletizing workcells to help manufacturers automate repetitive tasks with collaborative robots. They also develop supporting software and pioneered "Lean Robotics," a methodology for deploying scalable, plug-and-play cobot automation across industries like machine tending, assembly, and palletizing.
