Roundpeg develops AI-based, cognitive robots to revolutionize the manufacturing industry. With a unique, integrated human recognition system, our robots operate 10x faster than today's systems, simplifying the production of existing and new products.
Today there is a core problem in production that massively hinders the development of new products.
There are essentially only two options for planning a production system: high automation or manual assembly.
High-level automation (1) carries enormous investment risk, as the return on investment is heavily dependent on future sales forecasts—which are becoming more difficult to predict by the day. Therefore, manual assembly (2) remains a common approach—even for large companies. But it is expensive (in terms of manufacturing costs), doesn't scale, and labor is hard to find.
To truly scale manual production, collaborative robots (COBOTs) could offer a significant advantage. They can be set up without fences and are easy to integrate. But they move extremely slowly to avoid injury.
Therefore, Roundpeg has developed a robot that can recognize people in its environment. This makes it possible to integrate it directly into assembly lines – without a cage and at high cycle times.
Roundpeg develops AI-based, cognitive robots to revolutionize the manufacturing industry. Due to a unique, integrated human recognition system, our robots work 10x faster than today's systems and simplifies the production of existing and new products. Today, there is a core problem within production that massively hinders the elaboration of new products. To plan a production system, in essence only two options exist: High level automation or manual assembly. High level automation (1) bares a huge investment risk, because the return on investment heavily depends on future sales forecasts - which are getting harder to predict every day. So manual assembly (2) is still a common approach - even for large companies. But it's expensive (concerning manufacturing costs), does not scale and workers are hard to find. In order to really scale a manual production, collaborative robots (COBOTs) could provide a huge advantage. They can be installed without a fence and are easy to integrate. But they move extremely slowly in order not to hurt anyone. Hence, we developed a robot that can detect humans in its environment. With that it is possible to install them directly within assembly lines - without cage and at high speeds.
