Foreign firms seek distribution right for Vietnamese robots

Seven foreign companies from Japan , the US , Poland and Germany has asked Vietnam ’s Tosy Robotics Joint Stock Company for the distribution right of its robots.

The request came when Tosy put on show 12 robots at the fourth International Trade Fair for Automation and Mechatronics (Automatica) in Germany from June 8-11, the Lao Dong daily cited Tosy’s General Director Ho Vinh Hoang as reporting.

In addition to the already familiar robot Topio Ping Pong, Tosy brought to the expo 10 industrial robots, including five parallel, three scara and two arm robots, and one human-shaped service robot that is capable of making cocktail, he said.

Hoang said Tosy’s industrial robots are much cheaper than those manufactured by foreign companies. For example, the price of Tosy’s parallel robot P404-01 is 5,500 USD, while a similar robot produced by Adept costs 45,000 USD and Fanuc, 33,000 USD.

According to the general director, Automatica drew the participation of 420 companies and groups from 42 countries and territories around the world.
