Adept Technology Showcases New USDA Accepted Robot and Advanced Packaging
Software At Pack Expo 2009

LAS VEGAS, Oct. 5, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Adept Technology, Inc.
(Nasdaq:ADEP), a leading provider of intelligent vision-guided robotics and
global robotics services, today announced it will be showcasing its new USDA
accepted robot for high speed food handling, the Adept Quattro(TM) s650HS, at
Pack Expo 2009 starting today in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Quattro s650HS is the
only USDA Accepted parallel robot available for applications such as meat and
poultry processing. The company will also be demonstrating its advanced
packaging management software solution, ACE PackXpert(TM). The company's
demonstrations will highlight technology that allows manufacturers to increase
production while reducing integration costs and deployment times.

"We look forward to engaging with new and existing clients in evaluating how
Adept Technology and its latest automation solutions can be applied to address
industry needs. Pack Expo is an excellent forum where attendees can see
firsthand the latest innovations that address their unique challenges," said
Rush LaSelle, director of global sales and marketing for Adept Technology, Inc.
"Both ACE PackXpert and the newly expanded Adept Quattro line give producers and
processors best-in-class tools to increase production, reduce costs, meet
stringent hygienic standards and reduce time to market."

The Adept Quattro s650HS is the industry's only parallel robot with USDA
acceptance for primary food handling. The Quattro is also available with a new
fixed platform option providing enhanced flexibility for higher payload
products. The Quattro line is specifically designed for high-speed
manufacturing, packaging, material handling, and assembly applications. The
Quattro differs from conventional parallel robots in that it features a four-arm
kinematic. This unique design enables higher speeds, faster accelerations, and
exceptional performance across the entire work envelope. Powerful compact
controls and embedded amplifiers make installation easy while reducing workcell
size and overall system footprint. The speed and precision of Quattro make it
the perfect choice for flexible packaging, material handling, kitting, and
assembly applications where performance is of paramount consideration.

ACE PackXpert(TM) is a software solution built on Adept's fully integrated
automation control environment, Adept ACE(TM), the latest generation of Adept
software. Designed specifically for packaging applications, the all-in-one ACE
PackXpert solution is completely flexible enabling manufacturers to respond
quickly to part changes without lengthy reprogramming. ACE PackXpert features an
easy-to-use intuitive graphical interface and 3D workspace display for
visualizing the system operation. This powerful software enables users to easily
coordinate the efforts of an entire line of robots by working across multiple
controllers. The program was designed for novice users with no programming
required in bringing an application online, while permitting users with V+
programming expertise to leverage their existing library of V+ functionality.
