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…

…Germany. Additionally, Micropsi will demonstrate applications of its AI-based MIRAI machine vision system, including reflective disc picking and hook hanging, at ATX West in Anaheim, CA February 6-9 at booth 4566. Micropsi said U.S. companies can work with a local team during and after the show to workshop use cases for the new lab. Robot arms to demonstrate MIRAI variance adaptation Micropsi said applications such as reflective disk picking and hook hanging are too complex to automate with traditional programming. The company’s MIRAI machine vision software system allows robots to dynamically adjust to workspace changes. MIRAI enables robotic arms to…

…thermal treatment company has deployed a robot using the MIRAI intelligent vision technology in its Berlin factory to take over the repetitive task of handling reflective metal objects. HWL has customers in power plant engineering, automotive, electronics, aerospace, and tool industries, as well as plant and fixture construction. The family-run company said it has invested in state-of-the-art technolgies to optimize operational processes and position itself as an attractive employer. The metal parts HWL needed to handle varied in size, position, and appearance, and the lighting conditions in its facilities could also change. It turned to Micropsi Industries' MIRAI controller, which…

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…

…10 products, such as our U.S. Top 10 with Mirai, which is $1.2 billion. There's a simple Top 10 technology index on Nasdaq with some AI focus. Every CEO says AI is the future. One and a half years ago, they would have said “the metaverse.” It's not that AI isn't potentially revolutionary; people just tend to overstate how a trend is happening. Or, they forget that it was happening—we focus on ChatGPT 4 but not on ChatGPT 1 to 4. Volatility is nobody's friend In March, the Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and Credit Suisse failures shook the robotics industry,…

…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 robot,…

…application, ZF deployed 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…

…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 workspace. People can use the software to train robots to perform hand-eye coordinated actions in industrial environments, it added. “Our technology makes it easy to transfer dynamic motion know-how from humans to robots,” said Ronnie Vuine, co-founder and CEO of Micropsi. “We have not optimized the textbook approach for specific applications but took a radically different approach inspired by how humans coordinate motions. MIRAI is a proven and independent technology…

…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 position or composition deviates,” said Ronnie…

…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 good business case alone. The project also needs to be…
