Life Robotics Inc.
Japanese collaborative robot startup that developed the CORO elbow-less robot arm; acquired by FANUC in 2018.
Life Robotics Inc. was a Tokyo-based Japanese robotics startup founded in December 2007 by Dr. Woo-Keun Yoon. The company developed the CORO collaborative robot arm, distinguished by its elbow-less design using a linear extension joint mechanism, enabling operation in confined spaces with a minimal footprint. CORO features six degrees of freedom, a 2 kg payload, collision detection, and low-output motors for safe human-robot collaboration without safety fences.
The robot targeted small and medium manufacturing environments where conventional industrial robots are impractical. Life Robotics raised Series A and Series B funding before being acquired by FANUC Corporation in February 2018, marking FANUC's first acquisition in over 15 years. Following the acquisition, Life Robotics operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of FANUC.

Teradyne Robotics and Elite Robots Resolve Legal Dispute Over Collaborative Robots
Teradyne Robotics and Elite Robots have mutually agreed to settle a legal dispute concerning the similarities between their collaborative robots and software. The settlement, announced on October 1, aims to conclude the ongoing legal proceedings without disclosing specific terms. Teradyne, a leader in collaborative robot arms, has sold over 100,000 units since its inception in 2005. This resolution is significant as it reflects both companies' desire to avoid the costs and time associated with continued litigation. Teradyne had previously filed a lawsuit against Elite Robots Deutschland GmbH, alleging copyright infringement related to Universal Robots software. The case included a preliminary injunction from the Regional Court of Hamburg, which restricted Elite Robots' use of the disputed software in Germany. Looking ahead, the lack of disclosed terms leaves uncertainty regarding any potential financial payments or changes to Elite Robots' offerings. The settlement follows Universal Robots' recent launch of its seventh-generation platform, which may influence future developments in the collaborative robotics sector.
