About Roundpeg Technologies GmbH
Roundpeg develops AI-based, cognitive robots to revolutionize the manufacturing industry. Through a unique, integrated human recognition system, our robots work 10x faster than current systems and simplify the production of existing and new products. Today there is a core problem in production that massively hinders the development of new products. To plan a production system, there are essentially only two options: high automation or manual assembly. High-level automation (1) carries enormous investment risk, as return on capital depends heavily on future sales forecasts – which are becoming increasingly difficult to predict day by day. Therefore, manual assembly (2) is still a common approach – even for large companies. But it is expensive (in terms of manufacturing costs), does not scale, and skilled labor is hard to find. To truly scale manual production, collaborative robots (COBOTs) could offer significant advantages. They can be set up without fencing and are easy to integrate. But they move extremely slowly to avoid injuring anyone. Therefore, Roundpeg has developed a robot that can recognize people in its environment. This makes it possible to integrate it directly into assembly lines – without a cage and at high cycle rates.
