Introduction
CRS ROBOTICS Corporation was a robotics
company in Ontario, Canada.
CRS ROBOTICS was notable in the field of
automated lab systems due to their developments in
high and ultra high throughput automated systems.
In May of 2002, CRS ROBOTICS was acquired
100% by the THERMO ELECTRON
Corporation, and the robots designed by CRS
ROBOTICS acquired the name of THERMO CRS.
HUMAN SCALED ROBOTS

Human scale robots have approximately the same

reach, speed, range of motion, the degree of
articulation and lifting capacity as a human being
and are designed to perform tasks that are:
 Hazardous
 Highly repetitive
 Unsuited for humans
