European Litter-Robot Customers Benefit from RobotShop Partnership

RobotShop and AutoPets Announce Distribution Exclusivity for Litter-Robot Products in Europe.

RobotShop.com, the worlds leading robot store for all your robotic needs, announces today that it has partnered with Automated Pet Care Products, Inc., DBA AutoPets. AutoPets is the maker of Litter-Robot, the automatic self-cleaning litter box. RobotShop is now the exclusive distributor of the Litter-Robot for the European Union.


Since 2006, RobotShop has been selling the popular Litter-Robot II, and will now offer the Litter-Robot III Open Air, released Summer 2015. It has proven to be an incomparable product that has helped customers care for their cats across thousands of homes worldwide.

"RobotShop has demonstrated a strong commitment to the Litter-Robot brand," states Brad Baxter, Founder and President of AutoPets. "We are looking forward to growing the European market with them."

As of April 29th, 2016, all AutoPets resellers of the Litter-Robot in Europe will process their orders through RobotShop. Located in France, RobotShop will be able to provide Litter-Robot resellers and customers across Europe with centralized access to Litter-Robot products, logistics, and customer support. RobotShops technical center will support all service requests during and after the manufacturers warranty.

Reseller partners will benefit from the optimized pricing through RobotShops dealer program. Resellers will have the option to stock product at their facilities or drop-ship through RobotShop.

The Litter-Robot Open Air is an automatic, self-cleaning litter box. Its unique design senses when a cat is inside and when its time to clean up. Once the cat exits, a cleaning cycle will begin automatically. The patented sifting process separates the clumps from the clean litter and deposits them into a carbon-filtered drawer below, reducing unpleasant odors and leaving a clean bed of litter every time.

"I have been a proud owner of a Litter-Robot self-cleaning litter box for more than 6 years and would never think of going back to a standard litter box," says Julie Gendron, VP Consumer Robots Division at RobotShop. "We are excited to continue our growing partnership with AutoPets and expand the network of Litter-Robot resellers in Europe."

Schmalz Technology Development - The Right Gripper for Every Task

In order to interact with their environment and perform the tasks, lightweight robots, like all industrial robots, depend on tools - and in many cases these are vacuum grippers. These form the interface to the workpiece and are therefore a decisive part of the overall system. With their help, the robots can pick up, move, position, process, sort, stack and deposit a wide variety of goods and components. Vacuum gripping systems allow particularly gentle handling of workpieces, a compact and space-saving system design and gripping from above. Precisely because the object does not have to be gripped, the vacuum suction cupenables gapless positioning next to each other.
