Manufacturer

Kawasaki

Japanese heavy industry conglomerate that built one of the first industrial robots outside the United States and remains a fixture in automotive manufacturing.

Kawasaki Heavy Industries introduced Japan's first industrial robot in 1969, licensing early Unimate technology before developing its own robot line.

The company's robots span compact RS-series arms, high-payload BX-series handlers, and the dual-arm duAro collaborative robot aimed at kitting and light assembly.

Kawasaki has a long history in automotive body shops and heavy material handling, alongside a growing presence in semiconductor wafer handling robots.

Robots run on Kawasaki's own controller platforms, with the company positioning itself as a heavy-industry engineering firm as much as a robotics specialist.
