AI software company Micropsi Industries recently announced MIRAI 2, the latest generation of its AI-vision software for robotic automation. MIRAI 2 builds upon the success of its previous releases and comes with five new features that, according to Micropsi, enhance manufacturers’ ability to reliably solve automation tasks with variance in position, shape, color, lighting or background. The software is available immediately and offers users greater reliability, easier and faster deployment and robot-fleet scalability compared to prior releases. Factory data helps MIRAI MIRAI 2 can operate with real factory data without the need for CAD data, controlled light, visual-feature predefinition or…

At Automatica this week, Micropsi Industries announced that MIRAI, its AI-powered robot controller that trains robots through human demonstration, will soon be hardware agnostic. The company has partnered with KUKA to demo the new version of the system at the German trade show in Messe Müchen. Visitors to Micropsi Industries' exhibit (Hall B4 Booth 401) will see a MIRAI-controlled KUKA robot inserting industrial connectors into outlets, which Micropsi Industries noted in a press release is “one of myriad complex automation tasks that are too difficult or costly to automate with traditional programming.” “With innovative technologies like MIRAI, our customers benefit…

Micropsi Industries this week announced that its artificial intelligence (AI)-based software MIRAI is now compatible with numerous robots produced by FANUC, a supplier of robotics and factory automation in Japan, and its U.S. subsidiary FANUC America. With MIRAI, FANUC customers can now add hand-eye coordination to multiple FANUC industrial and collaborative robots (cobots) to handle difficult-to-automate functions such as cable plugging and assembly, the company said. Using AI, the MIRAI controller generates robot movements directly and in real-time. Robot skills are trained, not programmed, in a few days through human demonstration, without requiring knowledge of programming or AI. To train…

…a system that consisted of a MIRAI kit from Micropsi Industries, which included a control box and a camera. It also included a Universal Robots UR10e collaborative robot arm, an OnRobot force-torque sensor, and a Schunk gripper. The MIRAI vision-based control system uses artificial intelligence to enable robots to deal with complexity in production environments. Once fitted with MIRAI, a robot can perceive its workspace and correct its movement where needed to perform a task. A background in engineering or AI is not required to train or retrain MIRAI. The metal rings in the crate arrive in layered beds, with…

…robots need to be easier to train and use. Micropsi Industries GmbH today announced that it has successfully closed its $30 million Series B funding round. The company said it plans to use the new funding to expand operations in the U.S., ramp up sales efforts, and expand to more robot platforms. Founded in 2014, Micropsi said it provides artificial intelligence controls for industrial robots to enable manufacturers to automate processes that could not be automated previously. The company's MIRAI product uses cameras and sensors so that collaborative robot arms can react in real time to dynamic conditions in a…

…but robots and artificial intelligence can make it easier. Micropsi Industries GmbH today said its MIRAI robot control system now automates previously manual leak detection for global appliance makers such as BSH Hausgeräte GmbH. Micropsi offers this “fridge-sniffing” system with Atec GmbH Automatisierungssoftware. The Berlin-based company said it provides a quick, reliable, and cost-effective solution for leak-detection tasks and other complex industrial processes. The system can also lower ongoing operating costs and reduce the need for maintenance, said Micropsi. “AI-driven systems such as MIRAI independently derive solutions in the event of variances such as changing lighting conditions or workpieces whose…

…that will enable them to learn new tasks quickly. Micropsi Industries GmbH today announced the latest version of its MIRAI robot control system. It now includes a “positioning skills” feature that provides examples of quality movements so that robots can generalize and understand how to handle variances more easily, said the Berlin-based company. “Our customers deployed the first generation of MIRAI with great success and were able to make their small-scale automation projects commercially viable for the first time,” said Ronnie Vuine, CEO of Micropsi Industries. “But we realized a decision for automating a workstation often isn't based on a…

…need to be easier to train and more flexible. Micropsi Industries has developed MIRAI, a control system that it said enables collaborative robots to perceive and react rather than follow preset programs. Micropsi was founded in 2014 and has offices in Brooklyn, N.Y., and Berlin, Germany. The company is aiming to serve in assembly and test applications for electronics, consumer goods, and other manufacturing. “I have a background in computer science and philosophy, and I got into robotics via artificial intelligence,” said Ronnie Vuine, founder and CEO of Micropsi Industries. “I'm not a mechatronics person. I came to AI for…
