Top Robotics Companies in Canada to Know
Trexo Robotics manufactures walking systems for individuals with movement disabilities like cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy. Its mobility solutions are developed using research outlining the benefits of robot-assisted exoskeletons. Currently, Trexo’s products are available only for preorder after an individual is deemed a good fit for the robotic brace.
Titan Medical makes robotics systems that assist with single-port surgeries alongside medical staff. By partnering with medical leaders, Titan Medical can license its technologies to benefit care providers.
Avidbots develops automated floor-scrubbing robots that can carry out maintenance tasks at the push of a button. By applying automation in high-trafficked areas, Avidbots can provide cleanliness without straining maintenance staff. Avidbots also uses its operation platform to schedule maintenance and analyze metrics on its robotics.
Attabotics is a robotics company for warehouses and e-commerce fulfillment businesses. By developing systems to automate storage operations, Attabotics helps future-proof warehouses through efficiency and cost-saving opportunities. According to the company, its automation solutions also help retailers achieve one-hour delivery times.
Novarc Technologies specializes in autonomous welding, a field that combines AI and applied robotics to make welding cobots. These cobots (collaborative robots) are controlled by humans and do the dangerous work required in welding. Novarc says its products are used in a variety of industries, from aerospace to shipbuilding. The company is based in North Vancouver.
General Motors is a robotics company as well as an automobile manufacturer. Robotics are used on the company’s assembly lines around the world, and GM has invented more than a few robotic devices. For instance, GM and NASA worked together on a robot for the International Space Station. General Motors has a Canadian division, which is based in Oshawa, Ontario.
Carbon Robotics makes robotic devices for farming. Its signature product is the LaserWeeder, which uses AI to spot weeds in farm fields, then uses lasers to kill the weeds. This method saves the soil, negates the need for herbicides and saves on labor, the company says. An autonomous device that actually does the weeding is in the works. NVIDIA’s venture-capital arm, NVentures, is one of the investors in Carbon Robotics.
Sanctuary AI develops humanoid general-purpose robots that look similar to the fictional creations seen in science fiction movies. Sanctuary AI’s Phoenix system is a life-size robot with teleoperation capabilities to conduct tasks autonomously or with a human pilot. According to the company, the ideal use of its technology is to conduct actions and tasks that can put humans in harm’s way.
Magna is a mobility technology company that develops technologies, systems and concepts designed to make vehicles safer and cleaner. The company operates more than 135 manufacturing facilities in North America and employs 179,000 people across the world.
B-Temia is a biomechatronics company that specializes in dermoskeletics. Dermoskeletics is a combination of artificial intelligence and robotics used in devices such as braces that aid people who are recovering from a bodily injury. B-Temia is based in Quebec and was founded in 2010.
