Robotiques Broadens its Portfolio with Vuzix Smart Glasses

Vuzix Corporation (NASDAQ: VUZI) has bagged an initial order worth $300,000 for its smart glasses from Robotiques Cyborg, a France-based multi-national distributor of high-technology solutions.

Vuzix engages in the design, manufacture, marketing, sale and supply of augmented reality wearable display devices. Shares of Vizix have lost 27.2% so far this year.

By adding Vuzix’s smart glasses to its portfolio of distributed solutions, Robotiques Cyborg believes that its clients can lower CO2 emissions by conducting meetings remotely, removing the language barrier and enabling control of certain robots with the glasses.

Vuzix’s President and CEO, Paul Travers, said, “We are thrilled to be partnering with Robotiques Cyborg, who can not only provide us with new and diverse distribution opportunities, but also integrate our smart glasses into the installation and servicing process for various robotic solutions. We look forward to supporting their efforts to help their customers gain competitive advantages within their respective industry verticals.”
