Like Universal Robots' collaborative robots, MiR collaborative AMRs lower the barrier for both large and small enterprises to incrementally automate their operations without the need for specialty staff or a re-layout of their existing workflow. This, combined with a fast return on investment, opens a vast new automation market. Following the path proven with Universal Robots, we expect to leverage Teradyne’s global capabilities to expand MiR’s reach.”

泰瑞達總裁兼首席執行官Mark Jagiela表示：“我們很高興MiR加入泰瑞達不斷擴大的先進智能自動化產品組合。MiR是協作式自主移動機器人這個新興但增長迅速的市場領導者。與優傲機器人的協作機器人一樣，MiRxiezuoshizizhuyidongjiqirenbangzhudaxingjixiaoxingqiyewuxuzhuanyerenyuanhuozhongxinbujuxianyougongzuoliucheng，yenengrongyidizhubushixianyewuzidonghua。zaijiashangkuaisudetouzihuibao
