The co-robot of Franka Panda can move freely in 7 axes and possess various features such as artificial intelligence, learning and interactive abilities. The key advantage lies on the fact that the clients do not need to do any programming. Through the guidance of gestures and touchscreen operation, it can be set up in a minute or two to complete complex tasks.
In 2017, the team of Franka Emika has been awarded the prestigious German Future Prize 2017 presented by Frank-Walter Steinmeier, President of Germany.
In 2018, Franka Emika received the Best Innovations of 2018 by TIME Magazine, making it to the cover of the iconic TIME Magazine. Moreover, it also received the German Innovation Prize 2018 and German iF Design Prize 2019.
The successful authorization for Yizumi to become the distributor in China by Franka Emika not only enables Yizumi to provide the co-robot solutions developed by Franka Emika to the customers in different markets and industries, it also provides the corresponding software and hardware solutions, applications, services and consultation.
The market for Co-robots is an emerging market in the world. By the year 2025, the sales revenue of co-robots in the world will increase to nearly US$ 12 billion from US$120 million in 2015. It would be a great leap of over 100 times, almost equivalent to the overall sales revenue of industrial robots in the world in 2015. Meanwhile, Franka Emika is undoubtedly one of the leading companies in this field.
