NexCOBOT Co. Ltd. will be among the robotic solutions providers exhibiting at the Robotics Summit & Expo this week at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center. The NEXCOM company will provide live demonstrations of its dual EtherCAT master AI robot controllers, developed on the NVIDIA Jetson platform, in Booth 451.

“NexCOBOT aims to make building smart and safe robots easy,” stated Jenny Shern, general manager of NexCOBOT. “We’re doing just that by providing the safety control platform, motion and AI control platform, and robotic safety peripherals for AI robotic applications. These innovations are helping customers accelerate innovation and deploy intelligent robotics across industries.”

Built for industrial automation, manufacturing, and logistics, the controller delivers the precision and reliability required for factory automation, assembly lines, and robotic material handling, said NexCOBOT. Its modular design and robust hardware allow for flexible functionality expansion based on customer needs, enabling more adaptable robots to meet the demands of next-generation applications.

The system also features a robust hardware platform available in both single-board and fanless box PC configurations, supporting a wide range of peripherals, said the company.

NexCOBOT manufactures robotic controllers, subsystems, and components and said it is a comprehensive supplier for professional, industrial, and humanoid robot builders, serving the growing robotic ecosystem of software, systems, and peripherals. The company has a strategic sales and marketing team in the U.S., a research and development team in the U.S. and Taiwan, and manufacturing in Taiwan and in China.

NexCOBOT aims to accelerate legged robot development

NexCOBOT said it’s dedicated to accelerating humanoid or quadruped robot development by providing key building blocks. These include motion and AI control systems, functional safety controllers, servo motor drives, and smart actuators. The company said they are all engineered to support rapid innovation and deployment.

Its Functional Safety system is certified up to SIL3 HFT=1 / PLe Cat.3 and supports FSoE safety fieldbus communication. The system includes a ready-to-use safety controller with optional modules.

NexCOBOT claimed that its actuator module is efficient and reliable for service robots and humanoids. It features a cost-efficient coaxial design that integrates both motor and reducer. Using the NVIDIA Jetson platform, the module runs the EtherCAT Master, combining AI computing with EtherCAT’s real-time control capabilities.
