Robotics Launchpad

Programming a robot to repeat exactly the same cycle a million times is straightforward. The real challenge lies in tasks that are constantly changing: varying products, materials, environments and exceptions.

Such flexible robotics remains difficult, as it requires close interaction between perception, reasoning and action, combined with the mechanics of movement (locomotion) and grasping (manipulation).

Online videos raise high expectations, but what works in a demo is not automatically ready for your production floor. Flanders Make helps you gain a clear understanding of what is already possible today, what is almost ready, and what is still a long way off, so that you can invest with full knowledge of the facts.

Robotics Launchpad brings together three types of partners to tackle your robotisation challenge:

• Manufacturing companies facing a specific challenge;
• Technology suppliers who develop the solution; and
• System integrators who put it into operation.

Flanders Make connects the three and takes the risk out of those first, most uncertain steps.
