Problem
Manufacturing of large, high‑precision structures such as aircraft sections, ship components, and bridge frames relies on manual assembly and inspection, which are slow, error‑prone, and require extensive skilled labor.
Solution
Sam XL delivers autonomous smart robots that combine advanced vision, motion planning, and decision‑making to perform large‑scale manufacturing tasks. Fixed and mobile robot units collaborate to detect defects, execute precise repairs, and assemble components without interrupting production flow. The company develops both the hardware platforms and the proprietary software stack in‑house, integrating research from TU Delft and industry partners. Solutions are customized to each client’s workflow and can be deployed as complete automation lines or as augmenting robot teams. By providing end‑to‑end system integration, Sam XL enables manufacturers to increase throughput, improve quality, and reduce reliance on manual labor.
Target Audience
Primary customers are OEMs and large‑scale manufacturers in aerospace, shipbuilding, and civil‑infrastructure sectors that require automated assembly, inspection, and repair of complex, high‑precision structures.
