Hello everyone and welcome to The Robot Industry Podcast (edition #138). We are glad you are here, and thank you for subscribing.

Today, I welcome Louis Lapierre to the podcast; he works for a company called Mecademic Robotics, and they build very precise industrial robots for medical devices, photonics, aerospace, consumer and electronics industries. Their robots are used in assembly, attachment, dispense, material handling and much more.

What type of robot did the company launch with?

You are building your robots in North America, correct?

What markets are you serving? Is that changing?

What is different about your manufacturing philosophy (you build your own circuit boards)

Your products are small but highly accurate & precise; why is that?

Can you tell us a bit about your software or lack of software?

End of arm tools, partnerships, etc.

Let’s talk about teach pendants.

Use cases:

Where are Mecademic robots used?

Desktop factories?

Unique markets like watch manufacturing?

I know you cannot talk about many of your customers, but what are some of the processes?
