The composite robot combines autonomous mobility and 6-axis robotic manipulation to transform flexible material handling in smart manufacturing.
Ezhan, a leading provider of industrial automation and robotics solutions, today announced the launch of its new composite collaborative robot, a fully integrated mobile manipulator system developed in close collaboration with Tsinghua University, one of China's most prestigious research institutions.
The new robot is built around three core components: an autonomous mobile base, an industrial-grade control cabinet, and a high-precision 6-axis collaborative robotic arm. Designed to operate seamlessly across dynamic factory environments, the system addresses a growing demand for flexible automation that combines the ability to move freely with the dexterity to perform complex pick-and-place tasks.
Unlike traditional fixed automation lines, Ezhan's mobile manipulator can navigate production floors, move between workstations, and adapt to changing workflows without costly infrastructure changes. The autonomous mobile base enables the robot to travel along production lines, through narrow aisles, and between storage and assembly areas, while the 6-axis robotic arm provides the flexibility to pick, sort, and place components, raw materials, and finished goods.
"Partnering with Tsinghua University has allowed us to push the boundaries of what composite robots can achieve in real-world manufacturing settings," said Puma, manager at Ezhan. "This project combined our deep expertise in industrial robot design, manufacturing, and integration with the university's cutting-edge research in motion control, robotics safety, and intelligent systems. The result is a solution built for reliability, scalability, and ease of deployment in today's smart factories."
The development process included rigorous testing and validation at both university and industrial facilities, ensuring the robot meets global safety standards and can operate safely alongside human workers. Each unit is fully designed, assembled, and tested in-house at Ezhan's facilities, allowing for full traceability and customization to meet specific production requirements.
This collaboration marks an important milestone in Ezhan's expansion into advanced mobile manipulation solutions, with applications spanning automotive, electronics, logistics, and general manufacturing industries.
