Geek+ and Bosch Rexroth have signed a strategic channel agreement for North America. The partnership has already borne fruit in the form of a unique version of the Geek+ MP1000R moving robot augmented with Bosch Rexroth’s ROKIT Locator laser localisation software.

The software works in parallel with Geek+’s simultaneous localisation and mapping (SLAM) technology and there are plans to deploy the solution on the production line at Bosch Rexroth’s plant in Changzhou, China.

Geek+ and Bosch Rexroth have agreed to facilitate resource sharing, deepen cooperation, and to create more intelligent logistics solutions for their customers.

Armando Gonzalez , business leader AMR/Robotics at Bosch Rexroth, sees the agreement as another milestone in the cooperation between the two companies. “We firmly believe that our two companies’ innovativeness and expansion strength will be increased. We will work together to create more competitive world-class products and a complete ecological experience.”
