Intrinsic and Siemens collaborate to accelerate the integration of AI-based robotics and automation technology
Intrinsic has a world-class
team of robotics and AI experts with a strong footprint in advanced perception,
machine learning and reinforcement learning. Siemens’ automation engineers and
software developers have industry-leading domain know-how in automation
technology in the industrial space.
Currently, the development
and runtime environments for AI-based robotics and automation components differ
significantly in their development paradigms and make integration cumbersome.
For example, deploying advanced robotic capabilities such as pose estimation,
robot manipulation or automated path planning are complex processes that
typically require teams of domain experts to operationalize. The two companies
intend to investigate new methods to seamlessly bridge the gaps between
robotics, automation engineering and IT development.
Bridging both worlds will
speed up the development process of flexible, AI-enabled robot work cells and
facilitate their seamless operation. This will make industrial robotics more
accessible and usable for more businesses, entrepreneurs, and developers -
particularly for new market segments like small and medium-sized companies.
“Intrinsic’s mission is to
democratize access to robotics. However, robotics is rarely decoupled from the
production environment, where the most value is created today,” says Wendy Tan
White, CEO at Intrinsic. “That’s why working with Siemens Digital Industries,
an industry leading automation expert, is an exciting opportunity to bring
joint solutions to the market in the future, so many more businesses can
benefit from the value that robotics and automation can offer.”
“Siemens is dedicated to
bringing IT and OT closer together – the key principle of our Industrial
Operations X portfolio”, says Rainer Brehm, CEO of Factory Automation at
Siemens. “We are impressed by Intrinsic’s open approach to industrial robotics
and we are excited to explore with Intrinsic how coupling of AI-based robots
and automation technology can be further accelerated.”
Both Siemens and Intrinsic
will be exhibiting at automatica 2023, the leading trade fair for intelligent
automation and robotics, in Munich, Germany, from 27 – 30 June. On Tuesday 27
June, 1 – 2 PM CET, Intrinsic CEO Wendy Tan White and Rainer Brehm, CEO Factory
Automation at Siemens, will join the munich_i CEO Round Table, “Software:
revolution for automation and robotics?”
Under the
motto "Accelerate Transformation", Siemens will be showcasing the
latest technologies and specific use cases from the world of robotics, making
them tangible for visitors in a test zone.
