Motion plastics specialist Igus is investing in growing its low-cost automation activities by acquiring a majority stake in robot integrator Commonplace Robotics, based in Bissendorf near Osnabrück. Commonplace Robotics specialises in intuitive control and software, as well as power electronics for robotics, in the industrial and educational sectors. Both companies have worked together closely for six years and jointly developed the iRC robot control, which complements Igus’s low-cost kinematic parts (all of which are made of high-performance plastics).
