…entrepreneurial co-working space in the robotics cluster of Odense, Denmark. Safedoor SD100 automatically opens doors Safedoor SD100. Source: Made4CNC When automating CNC machines today, integrators often build homemade door-opening solutions, said Made4CNC. But that risks errors, stoppages, and hazardous situations because such systems typically require compressed air and are neither standardized nor tested. The company claimed that its first official product removes the barriers to the automation of component feeding at machine shops. Made4CNC said the fully electric Safedoor SD100 includes built-in safety functions that enable an integrator to adjust the speed of the CNC door, making risk assessments easier…

…services in healthcare, agriculture, construction, and hospitality. The Odense, Denmark-based company's portfolio includes the GoBe telepresence robots, the PTR patient-transfer and rehabilitation robots, and the UVD disinfection robots. Blue Ocean said it develops its robots from analyzing a problem, through design and commercialization to scaling up for global production. While each robot is marketed under its own unique brand, all of the company's robots reuse generic technology and business components. Unlike many stationary disinfection systems, the UVD Robot is a fully autonomous mobile robot that uses UV-C light to disinfect against bacteria and viruses including COVID-19 not only on surfaces,…

…it has raised $850,000 (U.S.) in pre-seed funding. Copenhagen, Denmark-based RiACT was founded in 2018. The company's founders had worked with major European automotive manufacturers for 10 years, recalled Magnus Philip Ritzau, co-founder and chief commercial officer of RiACT. They realized that one of the biggest problems with scaling robotics projects was a lack of software homogeneity for easily setting up applications. “Applications were not universal, reusable, or flexible,” Ritzau told Robotics 24/7. “Most collaborative robots are still fenced and are only doing one task. We see a need for robots that can be flexible and adaptive to multiple kinds…
