General information
- Short Summary
- This Italian startup has developed and offers a smart gripper with integrated 3D camera and onboard AI, capable of autonomously recognizing objects and spaces of depth, which can be integrated into any kind of cobot. The company offers the solution under commercial agreements with technical assistance.
- Full Description
-
They are an innovative startup specializing in technological solutions for the transformation and digitization of business and industrial processes, with particular reference to the retail and warehouse logistics sector.
Thanks to a network of qualified partners, it proposes the development of innovative robotic applications and offers a suite of services for complete solutions in the Industry 4.0 sector.
The company also collaborate with professionals and university researchers for research activities in the field of artificial intelligence and mechatronics and in 2020 filed 3 patents for innovative robotic solutions.
They have developed an innovative smart gripper with integrated 3D camera and onboard AI to fit into autonomous machines for package handling. This compact electric vacuum gripper with integrated vacuum generator allows a flexible configuration according to application needs. The gripper features two independently controlled air channels, allowing it to act as a double gripper with grip and release in the same action, further increasing efficiency and reducing cycle time. With no compressor or air supply required, this compact electric gripper is easy to move, and its simple programming makes it quick and easy to reposition for greater production flexibility.
The gripper is equipped with viewer artificial intelligence software that uses artificial intelligence libraries allowing the gripper to recognize objects and their position in space. Compared to the other grippers available on the market, the proposed technology avoids blocking operations. In fact, the software recognizes the object to be handled and therefore, even in anomalous situations (e.g. the package is crushed, off-axis, etc...), the viewer recognizes that it is a package and therefore the gripper works anyway.
The company offers the solution to end users that want the cobots they are using improved to the next level by integrating the smart gripper. The cooperation will be carried out under commercial agreements with technical assistance. - Advantages and Innovations
