Renault Group and Wandercraft announce the closing of a minority investment by Renault Group in Wandercraft, the first company to develop, manufacture and market medical self-balancing exoskeletons. Wandercraft has developed an advanced platform for uses such as manufacturing. Renault Group invests together with Wandercraft\u2019s existing shareholders and new investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Through a commercial partnership agreement, Renault Group and Wandercraft aim to ensure the development of Calvin, a family of next generation robots, first for industrial uses. Calvin will allow Renault Group to relieve its workers from painful and non-ergonomics tasks, while reducing production time and thus gaining productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At a later stage, this partnership will also include the industrialization of robots and exoskeletons by Renault Group to reduce costs through design-to-cost and scaling \u2014 two disciplines in which the automotive industry is well recognized. This will help Wandercraft to bring its new exoskeleton Eve on the market and open new business opportunities in robotics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“This partnership with Wandercraft is a forward-looking move. It will allow us to accelerate automation and to develop robots for our specific auto industrial use, giving us the opportunity to concentrate on more value-adding tasks and alleviate operators from painful and non-ergonomics duties. It will drive productivity through the acceleration of production time and costs\u2019 reduction. In the end, it makes a lot of sense to combine Wandercraft\u2019s unique expertise and technology in exoskeletons and robots, with Renault Group\u2019s strong industrial capacity and design-to-cost know-how to bring the production of robots at scale” <\/em>said Thierry Charvet, Chief Industry and Quality Officer of Renault Group.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cRenault Group\u2019s investment marks a defining moment for Wandercraft. This partnership will boost our ability to build and scale high-impact, low-cost robotics that improve the everyday lives of real people, whether it\u2019s helping individuals with disabilities walk or supporting industrial workers through automation \u2014 on the factory floor, in clinics and at home. We\u2019re proud to combine our technology with Renault Group\u2019s industrial excellence to deliver the next generation of mobile robotics\u201d <\/em>said Matthieu Masselin, CEO and co-founder of Wandercraft.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Renault Group and Wandercraft announce the closing of a minority investment by Renault Group in Wandercraft, the first company to develop, manufacture and market medical self-balancing exoskeletons.
