The Problem
The vast majority of industrial robots automate tasks by moving between pre-programmed positions. This type of automation requires precise hardware, custom fixtures, and bespoke programming which drives up costs - it only makes sense for high volume manufacturing. Meanwhile, the majority of manufacturing is at lower volumes with higher mixed products. Automating these tasks are cost prohibitive yet represent the bulk of manufacturing today. There's so much more we can automate in the world today, but it's just too expensive to implement.
The Solution
Almond Bot is vision-based AI robot for high-mix pick & place automation. We provide a fully-integrated robot-as-a-service that helps manufacturers save money and increase their revenue.

Why now?
Modern diffusion and transformers models make it possible to automate high-mix pick & place tasks today. This moves the complexity away from rigid software & custom fixtures to adaptable AI - lowering the cost for everyone.
