About

AICA was founded in Lausanne in 2019, the company originally came from the Learning Algorithms and Systems Laboratory (LASA) of EPFL. Now based in the Unlimitrust Campus by SICPA, our software has been developed to fit the needs of industrial robotic lines. We recognized that traditional robotic systems require high expertise and endless hours, if not weeks, of hard work.

At AICA, we’ve crafted cutting-edge technology that seamlessly integrates the power of reinforcement learning with closed-loop force control. We are firm believers that dirty, dull, and dangerous tasks don’t define the human experience. Instead, they are perfect assignments for our robotic allies.

 

Exhibition

Build your own application in AICA Studio and see it come to life on a real robot! This is your chance to use our software and discover how we extend ROS to transform robot programming. During the event, you’ll have hands-on access to our platform, allowing you to interact directly with AICA’s technology. Whether you’re a skilled developer or just starting out, this is the perfect opportunity to explore, experiment, and elevate your robotics experience.

About

At Auto-Mate Robotics, we aim to provide innovative solutions that make the automation of high-mix, low-volume production affordable. Traditional automation systems are typically designed for mass production, making them unprofitable for smaller volumes. Meanwhile, current plug-and-play solutions lack the flexibility needed to properly address industrial needs. To solve this, we develop solutions that allow companies with no robotics expertise to learn the skills necessary to create their own affordable, ad-hoc automation systems. Our focus is twofold: simplifying the technology and empowering non-experts to fully leverage the potential of robotics.

Exhibition

About

CynLr – Robot that’s Intuitive with Objects Just like a baby’s brain, CynLr Visual Object Intelligence stack makes Robots to instinctively see & pick any object without any training. Today a robot struggles to fit a screw into a nut without slipping. Even to assemble such simple parts, factories are forced to build heavily customized machines. Imagine assembling 1000s of parts with variety of shapes and weights – a Smartphone or a car. Thus factories become complex, asset heavy and under-utilized. CynLr’s visual robots can intuitively grasp unknown objects without training and handle over 100,000+ parts regardless of lighting or surface variation. This enables robots to be trained on any task and be hot-swapped across stations; making it a universale alternative to custom machines -thereby ‘simplifying’ factory lines into LEGO like blocks of Micro-Factories

Exhibition

Demo: FLIFO, a passively morphing drone for small gap traversal

Drones with large propellers are typically more efficient than drones with small ones. This can lead to design trade-offs when a drone is required to fit through small gaps. Morphing drones manage to sidestep this trade-off by temporarily morphing into smaller and less efficient configurations to traverse gaps. Here, a novel morphing drone design is presented that manages to shrink by an unprecedented 50 percent without losing controllability.

Demo: Livia, a biomimetic robotic bird

Birds are far superior to most man-made drones in terms of quietness and maneuverability. The Livia biomimetic bird project aims to research why that is, and to translate these findings into improved aerial robots. As a first step an extraordinary compact and simple tail mechanism is developed, taking inspiration from the bird’s muscle structure. It can simultaneously spread, pitch, roll and yaw, just like its real counterpart. In upcoming research a similar approach will be tried to mimic the highly complex wings of a bird.

Demo: MOMAV, a highly symmetrical fully-actuated multirotor drone using optimizing control allocation

MOMAV is a multirotor drone that is fully actuated, meaning it can control its orientation independently of its position. MOMAV is also highly symmetrical, making its flight efficiency largely unaffected by its current orientation. These characteristics are achieved by a novel drone design where six rotor arms align with the vertices of an octahedron, and where each arm can continuously rotate along its long axis. By implementing continuous arm rotation, this drone manages to never need to unwind its arms, no matter the trajectory it flies.

Exhibition

In the drone technology, our project specifically focusing on the development and prototyping of a drone shield using a combination of GPU-based processing, formal graph models, and a mock-up design application. Here are the four key steps for the development:


1. GPGPU Free Planar Approach: This step involves leveraging General-Purpose computing on Graphics Processing Units (GPGPU) to perform fast and robust computations for designing shield structures. This innovative approach makes it possible to reconstruct a framework considering not points and sides, but any number and position of planes in space;


2. Formal Planar-Graph Approach: This complementary step to step 1 formalizes the development of the shield structure using a formal model from planar graph theory. This ensures that the geometrical or structural design is mathematically robust for later adaptation (step 3);


3. Mockup App: During this phase, we enter the draft of the application model created in steps 1 and 2. From here, we can simulate it via an interface, enabling us to manipulate and improve it, and soon to test the forces at play with a view to its physical realization (step 4);


4. Assembling & Prototype: Finally, the project moves on to the assembly of the physical components and the creation of a prototype, bringing together the design and calculation models into a tangible, functional drone shield system.


These steps illustrate the process of moving from computer design based on abstract models (pure plan geometric modelling and/or planar graph theory, both vertex and edge free) to prototyping a working physical prototype.

TriOrb Inc., a startup originating from AIST (National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology) and Kyushu Institute of Technology in Japan, provides innovative robotic solutions using a ball-driven omni-directional movement platform. Our structure uses balls instead of wheels to achieve free and flexible movement in all directions. In addition, We have overcome the challenges that conventional omni-directional mobile robots have long been unable to solve, such as external disturbance running ability, positioning accuracy, and load capacity. We will contribute to the realization of a true smart factory in the manufacturing industry by promoting labor savings in inter-process transfer and automation of ancillary tasks that until now have been abandoned for the introduction of robots. At this exhibition, we will be exhibiting “TriOrb BASE,” a high-performance mobile platform that can be used as a drive unit for a wide variety of robot’s foot and as an AMR.

Exhibition

Demo: TriOrb BASE

TriOrb BASE is capable of omnidirectional movement, strong disturbance running performance against grooves and steps, and high precision movement. In addition, the TriOrb BASE has a high load capacity of over 300 kg despite its compact size. Another major feature of this machine is its simple structure consisting of three balls and three motors, which makes it easy to maintain.

Demo: Omni-directional movement

Omni-directional movement The joystick is used to demonstrate instantaneous and smooth 360°movement in any direction , including forward/backward, left/right, turning, and diagonal. It also enables minute movements down to the millimeter for tasks that require precise positioning.

Demo: Disturbance traveling

Disturbance traveling The robot runs on soft running surfaces such as carpets and obstacles that simulate disturbances such as grating, etc. You can see how all three spheres have torque in the direction of movement and run powerfully. In the demo, you can actually operate the joystick to experience its performance. The high-performance foot will contribute to further value enhancement of your company’s services. We look forward to seeing you at our booth.
