Quasi Robotics launched two mobile robots in its C2 product line, the Model C2 PartPorter and Model C2 Mini.
The company built PartPorter for transporting large, flat materials in industrial settings. Quasi said the robot can support workflows in woodworking, cabinetry, fabrication, and similar applications.
Its C2 Mini is a compact variant of the company’s flagship C2 autonomous mobile robot (AMR). Quasi designed this robot for environments with limited space that require high efficiency.
Founded in 2017, Quasi Robotics develops AMRs for materials handling and intralogistics transport. Its proprietary Q.AI software provides route planning, navigation, and obstacle avoidance.
Frederick, Md.-based Quasi said its robotics engineers are experienced in CAD/CAM design, electrical and mechanical engineering, additive manufacturing, material design, fabrication, and computer software.
Quasi responds to customer demand with PartPorter
Some key features of the Model C2 PartPorter:
- Rear-Wheel Drive Architecture: Offers greater stability, straight-line performance, and improved maneuverability when handling larger and heavier loads.
- Ruggedized Industrial Design: Reinforced steel side handles and a side-mounted touchscreen display, protected from impact during loading/unloading.
“Many of our manufacturing partners asked for a cart optimized for sheet material, something that could safely carry panels, doors, wood slabs, or similar oversized items without compromising the robot’s core reliability or ease of use,” said Vlad Lebedev, CEO, Quasi Robotics. “PartPorter is the direct result of those requests.”
The robot also features a loading bay with five wide slots designed to hold materials securely. It allows overhanging materials up to 4×8 feet in size, placed vertically, and has a total payload capacity of 250 lbs.
Additionally, the PartPorter includes six floor-level sensors to detect low-lying obstacles, debris, or straps on the floor. Employees without technical training can operate the robot using its touchscreen interface.
C2 Mini offers more flexibility than previous Quasi robots
The C2 Mini features a compact 18.50in x 18.50in square design, rear-wheel drive architecture, and a low center of gravity. Quasi said it engineered the Model C2 Mini for precise, stable operation in narrow aisles as small as 2.5 feet wide. The robot weighs just 44.1lb (20kg) with the battery.
“Model C2 Mini is our answer to the growing demand for automation in environments that traditionally couldn’t accommodate larger AMRs,” said Vlad Lebedev, CEO at Quasi Robotics. “With C2 Mini, we’re making intelligent robotics accessible to more businesses, without compromising on power or flexibility.”
The robot features three shelves, each supports up to 50 lbs, with a total payload capacity of 150 lbs. The robot stays lightweight with an aluminum alloy frame and aluminum composite shelves, and can operate for up to 16 hours on a single charge.
Quasi said its small size makes the C2 Mini ideal for smaller office environments, hospitals, life-science labs, and any setting that demands reliable automation in constrained spaces.
