Festois planning to expand its repertoire of robotic solutions through a new partnership with MassRobotics, a Boston-based non-profit dedicated to promoting the development of robotics. Festo will support MassRobotics’ startup and technology community in developing the next generation of robotics solutions. This strategic partnership will promote worldwide market growth and robotic innovation initiatives.

By combining Festo’s unsurpassed expertise in manufacturing andautomation technologywith the MassRobotics community, both companies can engage with new robotics and automation startups.

Fostering a collaborative space

MassRobotics serves as a hub for robotic innovation and smart connected devices. It works to foster a collaborative space for the next generation of robotics and automation innovators and manufacturers. With a unique “escalator” model, MassRobotics allows startups to establish, grow, employ workers, and offer consistent value for its partners. The new partnership will allowFestoto collaborate with entrepreneurs and academia in bringing new concepts and solutions to market.

Using a supportive learning environment, MassRobotics engages future engineers and entrepreneurs with science, technology, engineering, and mathematics workshops, plus competitions and technical internships. MassRobotics entrepreneurs founded the Ventilator Project, which aims to solve the ventilator-shortage crisis with a new inexpensive model.

The Boston area offers a high density of expertise in robotic innovation, so Festo anticipates many unique opportunities for robotic development with MassRobotics. Both companies will explore the evolution of automated manufacturing products to autonomous solutions. Community members will co-develop and commercialize advanced devices and systems through new challenges.

As one of the world’s top automation providers, Festo offers learning systems via its Festo Didactic division. This department promotes public and private alliances that implement apprenticeship programs, investing heavily in research and development. The Bionic Learning Network creates novel solutions with designs inspired by the natural world, reinforcing Festo’s partnerships with academia and technology businesses.

Festo and MassRobotics share a common goal to create new robotic products to meet the evolving needs of the manufacturing sector worldwide. Through their collaborative efforts, these two organizations will use each other’s expertise, resources, and development capabilities to revolutionize industrial robotics.
