Building a Robotics and Artificial Intelligence Network

Project description

Automation brings together manufacturers

No longer a futuristic fantasy, robots are entering the workplace. Surviving the rise of automation can be a tricky business for many labour-intensive industries struggling to remain competitive. This is especially true for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) active in industries demanding robotic solutions. The aim of this EU-funded BRAIN project is to transform existing OEM equipment into autonomous machines. The Kobi Company, an award-winning robotics company in Belgium, is behind this endeavour. Its patented and highly scalable robotics platform (the 'Brain') can integrate into existing OEM equipment. The project’s aim is to establish mutually beneficial strategic partnerships with OEMs. This will allow Kobi to build on its strong distribution networks and sales channels, achieving hyper-scalability.
