Omron Robotics :: Safe, Flexible & Intelligent Robotic Systems That Work Harmoniously With Human Operators

Omron Robotics is the robotics division of Omron Corporation, a global leader in industrial automation headquartered in Kyoto, Japan. Omron has decades of experience in factory automation and has become a major player in collaborative robotics (cobots) and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs). The company focuses on creating safe, flexible, and intelligent robotic systems that work harmoniously with human operators, helping manufacturers improve productivity, quality, and safety while addressing labor shortages and high-mix production challenges.

Omron’s robotics portfolio is designed for ease of use, seamless integration with its broader automation ecosystem (PLCs, vision systems, safety devices, and motion control), and compliance with international safety standards. Their solutions are widely deployed in automotive, electronics, food & beverage, pharmaceuticals, packaging, and general manufacturing.

Key robot-based products include:

• TM Series Collaborative Robots: Omron’s flagship cobot line. These 6-axis robots feature built-in vision systems, intuitive tablet-based programming, and hand-guiding capability. Models range from 3 kg to 20 kg payload with various reach options. They excel in assembly, pick-and-place, machine tending, inspection, and packaging tasks. Advanced features include force sensing, AI-based object detection, and easy integration with external devices.
• LD / HD Series Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs): Flexible transport solutions for material handling. The LD Series offers payloads from 60 kg to 130 kg, while the HD Series handles heavier loads up to 1,500 kg. These AMRs use advanced navigation, obstacle avoidance, and fleet management software to operate safely in dynamic environments alongside people.
• Integrated Robotic Solutions: Complete automation cells combining cobots, AMRs, vision systems, and safety equipment. Omron also offers simulation tools and digital twin capabilities to accelerate deployment and optimization.

Omron continues to invest in AI-enhanced robotics, digital twins, and seamless Industry 4.0 integration. Their solutions emphasize safety (ISO 10218-1, ISO/TS 15066), flexibility for frequent changeovers, and data-driven insights for continuous improvement.
