Presentation

MecaBotiX is a startup established in Toulouse in 2020, working in innovative mechanics and robotics. We develop machines and robots using an approach that combines innovation, research, design, and engineering. Our markets include...’Industry 5.0, logistics, the maintenance site, transport and sustainable development.

MecaBotiX offers M3-Cooper, one of the very first modular mobile robots, bio-inspired by ants, for moving and lifting all types of loads from one gram to one ton. Our M3-Cooper robots adapt to all standard logistics units. (pallets / crates / individual products) but also specific (oversized loads / long products / plates). Our robots are designed for a 20-year lifespan using high-quality materials, are transportable by light vehicle, and increase pallet density by 30% (%), resulting in significant environmental benefits. They are compact, agile, and can overcome obstacles. They relieve operators of strenuous tasks and prove invaluable in facilities not yet automated. Unlike fixed-size robots, their modular design allows for precise customization to meet customer needs, on-site and several times a month, and provides excellent fault tolerance.
