Core Technology

Innovative Robotics' core competency is solving wafer automation problems with a software intensive solution. Its technology consists of four key components:

• Cutting edge trajectory algorithms increase throughput while reducing vibration and backside contamination to the wafer.
• Automated path planning and emulation software reduces software integration costs while improving system reliability and performance.
• Simple and robust mechanical design contains 30% fewer parts than competitive products thus improving quality and reliability, and providing a vehicle for lower manufacturing cost.
• Health monitoring, networkability and a user-friendly interface create process efficiency, ease of use and reduced failures.
