Moderna Robotics Integration
Healthcare · Client: Moderna
Project details
Supporting Moderna's mission to scale operations and transform healthcare by integrating robotics at the core of its pharmaceutical manufacturing and logistics operations.

Robots that react to you.
Collaborative Robotics (Cobot) is a robotics engineering practice that designs and deploys autonomous mobile robots for real-world material movement challenges. Its flagship robot, Proxie, is an intelligent autonomous mobile robot featuring an embodied empathy design philosophy, Glide 360 swerve drive architecture, Scout Sense perception, and advanced AI for human-robot collaboration. Collaborative Robotics also offers the Flywheel program, a phased consulting and implementation program where operations experts partner with organizations to assess, design, and scale robotics transformation strategies across logistics, healthcare, and manufacturing environments.
