Descripción del proyecto
Robots inteligentes guiados por inteligencia artificial para la fabricación
Los robots inteligentes pueden llevar a cabo una amplia gama de tareas diferentes, que aportan ventajas competitivas y reducen los costes de manera significativa. De hecho, la automatización robótica puede facilitarse en gran medida si la inteligencia artificial (IA) se encarga de los aspectos mundanos. En este contexto, en el proyecto financiado con fondos europeos OS for Ind robots, se prepara la comercialización de un nuevo «software» desarrollado por Cambrian Intelligence, empresa especializada en robots de fabricación guiados por IA. El novedoso modelo de IA retroadaptable, considerado un gran avance tecnológico, permite que los robots aprendan (sin supervisión) una tarea nueva en un entorno simulado que se ejecuta en la nube. Después de su entrenamiento, el modelo de IA puede ejecutarse localmente y guiar a los robots.
Objetivo
Cambrian Intelligence (“Cambrian”) is a novel retrofittable Artificial Intelligence (AI) software. The solution makes robots adaptive and cuts down robot configuration times from 2-3 weeks to a single day. As a result, production flexibility increases and costs are cut by a factor of +10x.
Cambrian has shown that demand for its solution exists by securing a portfolio of notable clients: Mercedes-Benz Daimler, Volkswagen, Sony and Denso.
Cambrian’s market is the emerging robotics software market. The potential addressable software market is vast (61B EUR globally) with forecasted double-digit growth (15%). The underlying driver for the market is the global industrial robots install base (+2M globally). Automation and related cost savings drive growth for the robot install base. Manufacturing is the largest single sector for robots.
Cambrian has a unique value proposition compared to the five other robot software suppliers
• Cambrian’s solution can be retrofitted to all industrial robots
• Cambrian’s AI software has a distinct cost advantage vs. traditional naïve robotics software providers
• Cambrian’s solution has a competitive advantage vs. other AI software providers due to its novel simulation robot training approach, and its unique focus on the manufacturing sector
• Lastly, Cambrian’s solution enables side-by-side work with humans opening doors for new markets (e.g. collaborative robots, SMEs)
Cambrian has the plan and the resources to build a global success story
• Team has strong technical expertise and experience in building successful businesses
• Manufacturing sector provides a winning go-to-market route leveraging existing customer references
• To enter the market, Cambrian still needs to develop its solution (TRL 6). H2020/Phase 1 funding will be used to develop the solution from TRL 6 to TRL 7 with Mercedes-Benz Daimler. Later funding will finalize development to TRL 9 and commercialization and scale-up
