Mirabel-based robotic technology provider RobotShop expands its integrator network. The 20-year-old firm enters into a strategic partnership with Fractal Robotics, a Canada-based service robotics integrator.
To strengthen its position in the service robotics market, RohotShop aims to leverage the partnership to enhance its RobotShop Robotics Integration Service (RRIS) capabilities enabling it to. RRIS was launched in May 2024 to offer a single entry point for businesses seeking comprehensive robotics solutions. Catering to various industries, the service provides robotics solutions, servicing, integration, and support, ensuring customers can seamlessly incorporate robotics into their operations.
RobotShop has also created a Living Lab dedicated to service robots at its headquarters in Quebec. This innovation hub will serve as a center for custom robotics applications, a showroom, and for training, and research. The new facility, integrated with RobotShop’s other logistics operations, will maximize the deployment of solutions for customers and support the global expansion of the RRIS.
As a trusted partner, Fractal Robotics brings a wealth of expertise in tailored robotics integration for sectors such as hospitality, commercial cleaning, and tourism. This strategic alliance will enable RobotShop to leverage Fractal’s expertise to reinforce its internal team and accelerate the deployment of solutions in the field. Furthermore, the partnership brings the necessary resources and expertise to swiftly bring the Living Lab to life and expand RobotShop’s network of collaborators, both in Canada and internationally.
“The service robots segment of the robotics industry is growing rapidly, and our customers are seeking a single gateway for all robotics solutions, including local integration services and support,” said Mario Tremblay, CEO and founder of RobotShop. “As always, we listen to our customers, and we will meet their expectations.”
RobotShop’s offer of service robots is continually expanding and will soon cover a wide range of industries, including agriculture, cleaning, inspection & maintenance, security & rescue, medical & healthcare, hospitality, construction & demolition, logistics & transport, research, and multipurpose robots such as humanoid robots, which are quickly emerging as a distinct sector.
As new robotic platforms become available through our extensive network of manufacturers, the RobotShop Robotics Integration Program will extend its reach and capabilities by onboarding experienced collaborators to ensure top-tier service. The program has already attracted numerous applications from robotics experts across various fields, further strengthening our ability to meet growing industry demands.
“Our team has integrated robotics across various industries, including restaurants, factories, seniors’ homes, hospitals, and more, driven by our mission to accelerate the adoption of robotics in all sectors. We continually strive to offer a robotics catalog that meets the diverse needs of our clients,” said Jean-Michel Lemaire, President and Co-founder of Fractal Robotics. “Partnering with RobotShop was a natural choice for us, given their ability to provide the widest range of robotic solutions, allowing us to better serve our clients’ needs. This collaboration will benefit everyone interested in entering the era of robotics. As RobotShop aptly puts it: Together, fostering a world full of robots that positively impact our lives.”
