Omron Adept Technology, Inc. is a multinational corporation with headquarters in Pleasanton, California. The company focus on industrial automation and robotics, including software and vision guidance. Adept has offices throughout the United States as well as in Dortmund, Germany, Paris, France, and Singapore. Adept was acquired by Omron in October 2015.

Founded in 1983, Adept was originally the West Coast Division of Unimation, which later became part of Westinghouse after being a division of Consolidated Diesel Electronic (Condec). However, its roots trace back nearly ten years earlier when founders Bruce Shimano and Brian Carlisle, both Stanford graduate students, collaborated with Victor Scheinman at Stanford's AI lab.^{[citation needed]}

In 2000, Adept Technology acquired Pensar Tucson Inc.

In 2015, Omron acquired Adept Technology.

Today, the company is active in a variety of industries requiring high speed, precision part handling including food handling, consumer product and electronics, packaging, medical and lab automation, automotive, as well as emerging markets like solar manufacturing.^{[citation needed]}

In 1984, the company introduced its first product, the AdeptOne SCARA robot.

Around 2004, Adept introduced table-top SCARA robots called the Adept Cobra i600/i800, with the system and servo controls, and the power amplifiers, embedded in the base of the robot. The related Adept Cobra s600/s800 models employ an external controller (with the servo controls and amplifiers still in the robot base) to achieve greater system functionality. These robots are claimed to be the fastest robots in their class.^{[citation needed]}

In 2006, Adept released its new delta-4 robot, the Adept Quattro. It is based on a new concept (invented by French and Spanish researchers and described in the European patent EP 1 870 214 B1 [1]) of delta-style robot mechanism that has four arms versus the traditional three-arm design. The rotation is achieved through a parallel platform.^{[citation needed]}
