    Global Cell Phone Manufacturer Combines Adept's New Articulated Robot and SmartControl(TM) Software for High Performance, Small Part Assembly and Material Handling Program

    Livermore, California - April 27th, 2005 - Adept Technology, Inc. (OTCBB: ADEO), a leading manufacturer of robotic systems, motion control and machine vision technology, today introduced the AdeptViper(TM) robot family, a line of 6-axis articulated robots designed specifically for precision assembly applications. The new family of robot's speed and payload capacity also make them ideal for material handling, packaging and testing applications.

    Recent statistics published by both the VDMA German Engineering Federation and substantiated by information from the Robotic Industries Association of America, indicate that the articulated (6-axis) marketplace is five (5) times larger than the traditional SCARA or 4-axis market. The AdeptViper combines an advanced 6-axis arm design with Adept's high performance SmartControl(TM) software platform allowing 6-axis robotics to be used in small part assembly and material handling manufacturing.
