We recommend a hardwired Internet connection, but RMOs can operate offline for short periods with full AI capabilities, thanks to our powerful edge computing technology. An Internet connection is required for updates and support monitoring.

Finally, a robot that gets your business
The Rapid Machine Operator is the world’s most practical robotics solution for machine operation. We call it the RMO. You’ll call it ROI.
Highly flexible
RMOs can be trained on multiple tasks and easily moved between jobs without reprogramming.
Ready to work
RMOs arrive pretrained to operate your machines, so they can be up and running in hours.
Easy to control
Rapid’s tablet-based app makes the RMO simple to operate, no programming or robotics expertise required.
State-of-the-art computer vision platform
With the RMO, computer vision comes included: hardware, software, the works.

What our customers say about us
The difference between Rapid and system integrators is night and day. Rapid is there when you need them. You can deploy Rapid Machine Operators extremely fast, and the support is phenomenal. We don’t have a ton of engineering resources. We don’t have any robotics engineers or software engineers. For us, the Rapid Machine Operator was an easy, quick and incredibly rewarding entry into the world of robotics.
James Garner
Director of Manufacturing, TouchMark
Rapid Machine Operators are easy to set up and integrate seamlessly with our staff.
Matthew Alley
Head of Fulfillment and Supply Chain, Truepill
If you don’t have a massive engineering staff and you want to start saving immediately, this is the robot for you.
Philip Haseltine
VP Manufacturing Operations, Delphon
We looked at automating machine operator tasks before, but as a custom injection molder, the costs were prohibitive. Rapid’s solution was the first we’d seen that just worked, at a price that made sense for our business. We were pleased with how responsive the Rapid team is and were quickly able to start seeing value.

Frequently asked questions
Do RMOs need an Internet connection?
What are the benefits of free AI updates?
RMOs show up smart and get smarter over time. With our regular AI updates, RMOs are constantly learning new tasks and getting better at the ones they already know. Your monthly subscription stays the same, but your RMOs become more versatile—and valuable—by the day.
How do you operate the RMO?
Our tablet-based app makes operation push-button simple.
Do you need robotic expertise to operate an RMO?
Not at all. You can train existing staff to operate an RMO in less than a day.
