A0912 - Welding Package
The A0912 Welding Package is a collaborative robot arm manufactured by Doosan Robotics, featuring a 9 kg payload and 1200 mm reach integrated with an OTC Daihen P500L welding power source for automated stainless steel welding. The system is a 6-axis cobot certified PLe/Cat4 by TÜV SÜD, equipped with joint torque sensors enabling force and motion control across multiple welding and cutting processes.
Overview and Use Cases
The A0912 Welding Package is a collaborative robotic welding system developed by Doosan Robotics. It was deployed for stainless steel welding applications in a manufacturing facility in New Zealand in November 2021. The system combines the A0912 cobot arm with complementary welding equipment to enable automated welding path execution without manual human intervention during the welding operation itself.
Key Capabilities
The A0912 is a 6-axis collaborative robot arm equipped with the following functional characteristics:
- Built-in torque sensors at each joint for force and motion control
- Support for multiple welding processes: laser, arc, TIG, and cutting operations
- Autonomous execution of programmed welding paths
- Teach-and-playback and offline programming capabilities
- Integrated with OTC Daihen P500L welding power source
- 350A air-cooled welding torch
- Wire feeder system included
Specifications
Robot Arm:
- Payload capacity: 9 kg
- Reach: 1200 mm
- Weight: 31 kg (A0912s model); 21 kg (A0912 base model)
- Joint configuration: 6-axis with ±360° range per joint
- Tool speed: 1 m/s

RobotRelay Delivery Robot
The Relay Delivery Robot is an autonomous indoor delivery robot developed by Relay Robotics (formerly known as Savioke), designed primarily for hospitality and healthcare environments. It navigates hotel corridors and hospital hallways independently, rides elevators without human assistance, and delivers guest amenities, medications, linens, and other supplies directly to rooms or designated drop-off points. Relay is one of the most widely deployed service robots in its category, reportedly completing over one million lifetime deliveries with a publicly cited success rate of approximately 99.8%. With a cargo capacity of around 10 gallons, the robot is compact enough to operate in busy public spaces while carrying a meaningful payload of everyday supplies.

RobotSpot
Spot is a four-legged autonomous robot developed by Boston Dynamics, a robotics company headquartered in Waltham, Massachusetts. Designed for inspection, security, and data collection in complex or hazardous environments, Spot can navigate stairs, rough terrain, and confined spaces that are inaccessible to wheeled robots. It is commercially available and has been deployed across industries including utilities, oil and gas, construction, and public safety. Spot supports a modular payload system that accommodates thermal cameras, pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras, lidar units, methane sensors, and other mission-specific hardware. Boston Dynamics also offers the Orbit fleet-management software platform, enabling operators to schedule autonomous inspection routes, aggregate sensor data, and manage multiple Spot units from a central interface. The robot is widely regarded as one of the most capable and commercially mature legged robots on the market.

RobotRealSense Depth Camera D455
The RealSense Depth Camera D455 is a stereoscopic active-infrared depth camera belonging to Intel's D400 series, designed to capture high-fidelity depth data for robotics, autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), drones, and computer-vision applications. It features a 95 mm stereo baseline — the widest in the D400 lineup at the time of its introduction — which reportedly enables depth error of under 2% at ranges up to approximately 4 metres. Originally developed under the Intel RealSense brand, the D455 and related products were later spun off as part of an independent RealSense business unit following Intel's restructuring of the division around 2021–2022. The camera is widely adopted in research, industrial automation, and humanoid-robot development owing to its compact USB-powered form factor, open SDK support, and relatively accessible price point.
