The MassRobotics expansion nearly doubles the size of the original workspace.

Description:
RBR50 Robotics Innovation Awardsobotics Business ReviewIn November 2019, MassRobotics, an independent, non-profit organization serving as an innovation hub for robotics and smart connected devices, formally opened a 25,000-sq. ft. addition to the existing MassRobotics facility in Boston’s Seaport District. The expansion was funded by a $2.5 million grant  from the state of Massachusetts, with equivalent funding coming  om MassRobotics’ corporate partners.

Analysis:
After two years of concept planning and development, in early 2017, MassRobotics officially opened an initial 15,000-sq. ft. robotics innovation center. Within the first six months, the facility attracted 18 startups  om around the US, which grew to 34 companies by mid-2019.

The MassRobotics expansion nearly doubles
the size of the original workspace. The most critical
driver for the success of MassRobotics initiative is the
organization’s business model, in which resident startups
are provided with much more than space to work.

Under the MassRobotics program, tenant
companies have access to state-of-the-art
electronic and mechanical prototyping labs,
including a variety of 3D printers, soldering
stations, oscilloscopes, laser cutter, mini-CNC,
and other machine tools. The expanded space also includes industrial
automation labs equipped with conveyor belts, a
variety of robotic arms and other manufacturing
technologies.

In addition, the center has common robotics
platforms, from collaborative robot arms to
autonomous mobile robots and even humanoids,
that residents can borrow and experiment with.
MassRobotics off ers its tenants CAD
and other design and development tools
 om vendors such as AutoDesk, SolidWorks,
MathWorks, Amazon AWS and Google. Finally, MassRobotics’ expert staff can
provide personal Introductions to investors,
corporate partners, potential customers,
manufacturers, and technical and business
talent. - Dan Kara
