Sunrise Robotics is an industrial robotics company that develops intelligent, autonomous robotic cells to transform manufacturing. Their product combines on-board perception, AI-driven real-time control, and industrial-strength dual-arm hardware designed to operate safely alongside people and at industrial speeds. Sunrise emphasizes flexibility and scalability—cells are plug-and-play, can be quickly retrained for different tasks, hold peripheral equipment, and operate as an ever-learning fleet to augment human operators and grow capacity on demand.

📋 Description
