Richtech Plans a Robot Double Act with DEX and Titan

Richtech Robotics Inc. is all set to show its DEX humanoid working alongside a Titan 440 mobile robot, linking two different machines in a shared industrial workflow. 

The company announced the demonstration , ahead of the International Manufacturing Technology Show. The event runs Sept. 14-19 at McCormick Place in Chicago. 

The proposed division of labor is quite straightforward. Richtech says DEX uses cameras and depth sensing to identify and handle objects, while Titan 440 transports parts and materials. Its platform is intended to coordinate their work. 

For a manufacturer, the practical question is what happens between those jobs. Handling an object and moving a load are separate capabilities. Connecting them requires the machines to coordinate when each stage starts, finishes, or needs attention. 

Employees remain part of Richtech’s proposed setup. The company says its dashboard lets staff monitor the robots and change their assignments. The announcement does not establish operation without human oversight. 

The pairing builds on work Richtech already described on its technology website, where it lists robot manipulation, autonomous navigation and fleet coordination among its development areas. It says its approach combines information from multiple sensors to help machines understand their surroundings. 

The Chicago presentation will put that coordination at the center of the demonstration. Observing the robots as they complete the sequence of tasks could show how the system works under the conditions chosen for the exhibit. Establishing reliability on a factory floor would require evidence from repeated operation, including how the system responds when a task goes wrong. 

The release names no customer routinely using the combined setup and provides no task-completion rates or figures showing how often employees must intervene.
