The Granary District is historically known for being the industrial heart of the city. That’s changing as more tech companies like Sarcos Technology and Robotics Corporation set up shop in the neighborhood.
on Wednesday, Mendenhall applauded the company for influencing the blueprint of “Tech Lake City” by helping carve the area into an “innovation district.”
And the Guardian XT pays homage to the roots of the district. Instead of building a robot to deliver food or sniff out security threats at the airport, Guardian XT is extending a mechanical hand to the trades. With its two claw hands, the robot can remove a worker from scaling a high rise in order to paint the siding. It can also operate power tools in various situations. The Guardian XT, which Allgood says is female but they haven’t decided on a name quite yet, also has the ability to lift heavy materials up to 200 pounds.
“There are some jobs we put humans in that we just shouldn’t place humans in, but we don’t have a choice,” Allgood said, “and now we do.”One fear of automation innovation is the possibility it could reduce job opportunities. In Sarcos’ case, Guardian XT is meant to work with humans in different trade professions—not replace them. The robot must be operated by a person.
