Founded in 2001 in Nîmes by Olivier Lapierre and his partner Thierry Roux, SYMETRIE is an innovative company that designs and manufactures precision robots that meet the most specific needs of industrial companies and research laboratories.
SYMETRIE specializes in hexapods, a six-cylinder machine that allows an object to be positioned in space, or movements to be simulated dynamically in fields as varied as optics, space, naval, research or defense!
His expertise SYMETRIE is developing two lines of hexapod products:
– The precision positioning systems used for samples on beamlines, mirrors on satellites, or on telescopes…
– Motion systems that simulate the movement of a boat, truck, tank, airplane, etc., for example to test and qualify sensors, optical components, antennas, inertial measurement units or gravimeters.
