American Robot Company became Cimflex which later bought or merged with Teknowledge. It is now Cimflex Teknowledge and is no longer making robots. They mainly do systems design and AI-factory applications. They were doing well through the mid-80's when the whole robotics industry crashed and burned. Not sure how they're doing today. The Merlin won some design awards and it is a pretty nice counterbalanced puma-like design. We have one - Pretty cheap if someone wants one. We have no use for it and we had some problems with the controller at one point.
