The final of the AIRA Challenge took place for the second time at ACHEMA, the world's largest trade fair for the process industry. Through this competition, the chemical and pharmaceutical companies BASF, Bayer, Boehringer Ingelheim and Wacker are promoting the development of new robotics applications for their industry. This year, the five finalists demonstrated how their robots can be navigated remotely through production sites to perform various tasks such as opening doors, maintaining systems, or checking inventories.
Roboverse Reply convinced the jury with its user-friendly, scalable, and enterprise-ready solution. It operates with standard components like VR glasses, enabling users to intuitively control mobile robots, such as Boston Dynamics' Spot, through hand tracking or controllers to precisely operate their gripper arms. Additionally, users can access further information, such as measured values and site plans, to make more informed decisions. Since all data is processed within the customer's cloud infrastructure, the solution can be accessed from any location and seamlessly integrated into existing systems.
“We are proud to have won the prestigious AIRA Challenge, affirming our expertise in developing mobile robot solutions for industrial applications. In our Robotics Lab, we continuously experiment with the latest trends in Spatial Computing and Embodied AI to tackle our clients' challenges. Solutions like the Roboverse Reply’s Robotic Platform enable companies to manage unforeseen events flexibly and remotely, ensuring precise interventions and effectively preventing industrial plant downtime," says Filippo Rizzante, CTO of Reply
