| Adapta Robotics addresses diverse automation scenarios & problems in environments where automation is challenging to be brought & their use cases not addressed by common, existing solutions. The product lines are built on AI solutions & technologies, which come on top of the robots’ core functionalities. Adapta’s portfolio contains twoproduct lines (MATT-the device testing robot- & ERIS-the effective retail intelligent scanner), offering the undeniable advantage of adaptable & easy-to-integrate automation when people & software solutions are inefficient/ insufficient. Both lines incorporate robotics as well as AI & computer vision while adding value through the team’s custom robotics development services. MATT, the smart device testing robot, covers the automation of scenarios throughout the device testing process (touch screens & buttons, but not only) that humans & software solutions can’t solve or handle. MATT solves the need for continuous device testing, enhancing testing automation through physical interaction with devices. It helps manufacturers, developers or solution providers to keep up with the increasing complexity of gadgets, apps, functionalities & updates. MATT & its software ecosystem was designed to be easily scalable & upgraded. Its features make it an ideal solution for testing anywhere from R&D to performance verification, connectivity & end of line testing. By using AI, MATT can perform context awareness and dynamic reactions to events (popups), differentiating &navigating on a UI based on visual cues, or even implementing typical usage scenarios, following user interaction. For MATT, the device testing use cases it performs are as diverse as the industries it is utilized by (automotive, aerospace, medical, R&D, device refurbishment, consumer electronics, smart home appliances). We have built MATT’s capabilities on AI & computer vision; hence the device-testing robot is able to cover a wide range of scenarios: speech & image recognition, icon recognition, OCR, QR & many more. Its abilities are also extending to use cases in industrial environments such as color-coding recognition for picking up products- using suction cups- and storing them in warehouses according to associated color codes; or automatizing the recycling process of tiers scraps by selecting the ones that where color coded to have the adequate chemical composition.ERIS- effective retail intelligent scanning- contributes to the retailer's digitalization by utilizing AI solutions to combat the biggest challenges & support the implementation of automation. ERIS uses AI to solve price & promotion discrepancies (from shelf to cash register) & minimize customer dissatisfaction caused by empty shelves & price tag mistakes. This is achieved by checking the correctness of prices on the shelf, detecting in-store out-of-stock situations, real-time operation, construction of visual maps & panoramic previews, easy-to-use interface & controls (accessible & adaptable: 4g internet connection, light intensity control, computing operator travel speed).The technology behind ERIS is based on AI at the edge, having the capabilities of- including, but not only- price label detection, and product stock detection. The technology behind the robot, the hardware vision modules inside it, the computer vision models & AI algorithms that track stock modifications, price discrepancies, and product placement, can be repurposed to other applications for a wider variety of setups and scenarios related to the retail space. These include fixed camera systems that can track stock changes, automatic hand-held scanners for stores with reduced footprints, and autonomous solutions for tracking inventory and its placement in warehouses for the logistics space. These directions are approachable through the technology that has already been implemented.Underlining our capabilities are the three pillars of Adapta: MATT, ERIS, and custom robotics services. These pillars leverage our in-house developed and real-life validated technologies to construct project-specific solutions tailored to the unique requirements and needs of each use case (e.g. development of AI modules, custom electronics, custom robotics etc.). AI and custom robotics allow interaction with different environments, cases, and domains, by utilizing, for example, MATT’s technology to offer testing services for HMIs and devices with touchscreens and/or buttons. Apart from the industries where MATT and ERIS activate in, custom robotics allows the team to interact with different cases and domains: in real estate tech & IoT custom developed smart hotel & smart office solutions; developing health monitoring bracelets dedicated to elders’ assistance. This diversity of environments allowed us to also work on scenarios requiring NFC & RFID. | $2.2M / Venture - Series Unknown / Oct 01, 2024 | ||
