What happened
Scan Computers partnered with Sheffield-based OLO Robotics to combine Scan's robotics hardware with OLO's browser-based platform, letting customers pair a Unitree robot from Scan with OLO and go from unboxing to autonomous navigation.
Why it matters
The partnership lets Scan offer its Unitree robots to teams that lack the specialist skills normally needed to get a capable robot doing useful work, according to OLO's co-founder and COO.
What to watch
OLO Robotics will be at the Scan stand 3068 at Nvidia GTC Berlin, October 20-22nd.
WHO IT HITSRobotics teams at industrial inspection, academic research and prototyping organizations can now access and deploy Unitree robots from Scan without needing specialist ROS developers, the body says.

The partnership brings together Scan's robotics hardware, AI infrastructure and technical expertise with OLO Robotics' browser-based platform and specialist robotics engineering, aiming to make advanced robotics easier to access and deploy. Scan is an Nvidia Elite Partner and OLO Robotics is a member of the Nvidia Inception programme.
OLO's platform brings teleoperation, simulation and autonomous navigation together in the browser. Because it needs no installation, OLO can be used from practically any device, and it runs on top of ROS 2, so each robot keeps its full features and capabilities. The new partnership allows Scan to make its range of Unitree robots accessible to teams without specialist ROS developers, adding further value to the platforms.
