Physical AI for Manipulation for Inspection

Physical AI that picks up and re-orients your parts to your inspection stack for full-coverage inspection or scanning.

/ THE PROBLEM

Full Inspection Coverage Requires Manipulation

Picking and scanning parts for manual inspection is a repetitive, hands-on process. Each part must be picked up, rotated through multiple angles, presented to a camera or scanner for inspection, and then sorted.

The Solution

Our Physical AI Platform can be taught to pick, reorient, and present parts directly from human demonstration in any position. When parts or inspection patterns change, instead of rebuilding the entire cell, you can reteach the robot to the new standard or part.

Learns by Demonstration

Teach a new part's inspection sequence through demonstration without requiring robotics programming experts.

Adaptable

Policies adapt to part geometry, flexible materials and changing orientations.

Precise, Repeatable Presentation and Sort

Parts are presented at the angles inspection requires and sorted to the correct disposition, every cycle.

/ benefits

Built for the Inspection or Scanning Tasks You Run Today

Manipulate any geometry for visual inspection.

 Full-coverage presentation, right disposition, every cycle.

Policies hold cycle time and coverage, shift after shift.

Add new parts or inspection sequences without re-engineering the cell.

Replicate proven inspection tasks across stations and sites.

/ OUR APPROACH


Two Ways to Build Your First Task

Easy to create, easy to replicate, with two ways to build your first task.

Self-Serve

Your team develops and manages inspection-manipulation tasks directly on our platform, collecting demonstrations and generating policies on your own timeline.

Provided by Our Solutions Team

We deliver the inspection task end-to-end, from demonstration to production-ready policy, then train you to operate and maintain.
