Kind of sad to see them shut down. Been following them since the Baxter robot came out. Unfortunately, the current market just does not have a high demand for highly flexible robots. Most of the fully automated lines are highly specialized lines. Company invest hundreds of millions, with the expectation of maintaining the line for years. It's usually simpler and cheaper to use standard actuators with multiple stations rather than a complex robotic arm. However, the couple of applications from Universal Robotics and Kuka is pretty cool to see.
