In today's dynamic Industry 4.0 environment, automation has stopped being a matter of choice and become a key factor in competitiveness. At the forefront of this technological transformation is ROKAE Robotics — a global pioneer and expert in developing high-performance industrial robots, flexible collaborative systems (cobots), and next-generation AI-based solutions.
With a presence in key markets such as Germany, the USA, France, Japan and South Korea, ROKAE is redefining the standards for speed, precision and safety in modern manufacturing. In recognition of our region's strategic importance and seeking the highest level of integration expertise, ROKAE chose Artec Robotics as its official representative and trusted partner in Bulgaria.
Types of ROKAE robots
ROKAE's strategy spans three main directions, addressing both heavy industrial needs and delicate commercial and medical applications.
Designed for heavy loads, speed and uncompromising reliability:
- XB series (light class): Extremely fast, compact 6-axis robots with a payload of 4 to 13 kg. Ideal for high-speed assembly, parts handling and palletizing in electronics and metalworking.
- NB series (medium and heavy class): Covers models with lifting capacity from 10 kg up to powerful industrial giants for heavy loads (up to 220 kg) with a working range over 3 meters. Widely used in the automotive industry, welding and servicing large machinery.
- IP67 protection as standard: All industrial-series models come factory-fitted with the highest level of protection against dust and fluids, enabling operation in harsh, aggressive production environments.
ROKAE's cobots are built to work side by side with people without safety fencing, removing physical barriers in the factory:
- CR and SR series: Lightweight, highly adaptable cobots with a payload of 3 to 35 kg. Among the fastest on the market, reaching linear speeds of up to 4 meters per second.
- Advanced safety: Thanks to the built-in Dual-Safe Check function and precise force control, the robot instantly stops moving at the slightest unexpected contact with an operator.
ROKAE is a leader in integrating artificial intelligence with physical hardware. Their portfolio includes:
- Humanoid robotic arms with force control (AR series).
- Dual-arm mobile manipulators on a wheeled base (Helios series).
- Full-scale humanoid platforms (Human.X series) that turn the concept of an intelligent mobile assistant into reality.
The six pillars of ROKAE
ROKAE's success is built on its own high-performance control operating system, based on six patented core technologies. Two of the most important are:
OptiMotion — Maximum speed and vibration suppression
Traditional systems control vibration on each axis separately. ROKAE's OptiMotion technology builds a complete flexible dynamic model of the robot, suppressing vibrations at absolutely any working position.
Result in production: In welding processes, OptiMotion reduces tool-tip vibration by over 80%. This minimizes wait time, optimizes the work cycle and ensures a perfect weld seam.
TrueMotion — Absolute trajectory precision
At high speeds, a robot's trajectory often deviates from the set point. TrueMotion technology ensures the actual path of movement matches the programmed one 100%, regardless of execution speed.
Result in production: Error-compensation algorithms make ROKAE robots indispensable for complex processes such as solar panel placement (achieving up to 8,500 units per hour), adhesive application, polishing and precise PCB testing.
Key advantages of ROKAE Robotics
Flexible integration and an open ecosystem
The robots are supported by a modular software architecture and open SDK interfaces, allowing easy connection to external software, sensors and ERP systems.
Patented Tendon Drive system
Uses motors with the highest torque density, ensuring extremely smooth, natural movements that are fully safe near people.
Energy efficiency and on-device AI
The company's newest turnkey solutions are powered by industrial Qualcomm chips, delivering high computing power for local AI model training at minimal energy cost.
Ease of use and training
Through the interactive ROKAE Academy platform and its intuitive interface, operators can quickly program and train the robots without needing deep knowledge of complex code.
ROKAE Robotics goes beyond standard automation-machine manufacturing — the company creates intelligent business partners. By combining precision hardware, its innovative OptiMotion and TrueMotion technologies, and advances in embodied AI, ROKAE offers future-ready solutions for the automotive, electronics, metalworking, medical-technology and commercial-services sectors. Investing in ROKAE systems gives businesses lower production costs, higher productivity and stability in the era of intelligent manufacturing.
As the official ROKAE distributor and integrator for Bulgaria, Artec Robotics provides a full engineering cycle — from delivery and deployment to ongoing support and process optimization.
