Soften the Future
A century of rubber technology has now led us to softrobotics. Bridgestone, a leading global tire and rubber company, has committed to explore the potential of rubber and established a corporate start-up, Softrobotics Ventures since 2023. Bridgestone Softrobotics Ventures creates the market of softrobotics with wide range of global business operation and R&D assets of Bridgestone.
While recent evolution of AI gave great flexibility to robot brain, that of robot body has yet to catch up. What if robot body was soft and flexible to unlock the potential of robot brain? Bridgestone Softrobotics Ventures evolves robots from tools to our partners for the future of human and robot co-existence.
As the core of our softrobotics, for half a century, we have been developing rubber artificial muscle composed of rubber tube and high-strength fiber sleeve that surrounds it, by applying the technology of tires and hydraulic hoses, with Bridgestone quality.
As robot brain evolves, we expect robots to work on complex tasks however choices are limited. What if robots had a soft, flexible and dexterous hand? The soft robot hand powered by Bridgeton’s bendy rubber artificial muscles “tetote” grasps the variety of items. Experience the true grasping.
Electric vehicle parts assembly, electric components assembly, engine parts kitting etc.
Daily goods piece-picking etc.
Fragile ingredients pick and place, lettuce harvesting robot etc.
As a turn-key solution to piece-picking tasks at anywhere, we offer a cutting–edge autonomous piece-picking robot system including the soft robot hand, AI controller and robot vision. Leave piece-picking to us, the softrobotics knows “just the right” grasp.
