Problem
Many industrial tasks require robots to handle a variety of objects with different shapes and sizes. Traditional automation solutions often require manual setup and reprogramming for each new task, leading to inefficiencies and increased downtime. Selecting the appropriate tool and gripping point for each object can be challenging and time-consuming.
Solution
Koras Robotics provides AI-powered robotic tooling systems that automate the selection of appropriate tools and gripping points for various industrial tasks. The system uses 3D object recognition to identify the target object and automatically determines the optimal tool and grasping pose. This eliminates the need for manual programming and reduces the time and effort required to automate new tasks. The system consists of a drivable automatic tool changer (DATC) and a range of end-effectors, including 2-finger, 3-finger, vacuum, and parallel grippers. An AI tooling software estimates the optimal gripper and grasping pose for a given object.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes manufacturing companies, system integrators, and robotics researchers seeking to automate complex material handling and assembly tasks.
