Cognitive Robots – A New Era of Collaboration between Humans and Machines

What are cognitive robotics?

Three important characteristics define a cognitive robot. First, the ability to fully perceive the environment - sight, hearing and even touch. Second, to be able to process these stimuli and react independently even to new and unknown things. And finally, to be able to "remember" what it has learned for the future in order to further develop existing abilities. Such robots are capable of reliably recognising humans in their vicinity. This effers completely new perspectives for our public life, for example regarding dangerous jobs or shortages of skilled workers. I myself am even convinced that we will soon have the first household robots.

What distinguishes x from other start-ups in robotics?

For one thing, we are willing to reinvent the wheel. That's the only way we managed to create not only the fastest and most precise cobot in the world within three years, but also all components such as sensors and actuators. This way we have progress in our hands and don't have to hope for innovations from suppliers. Secondly, as far as I know, we are the first company in the world to develop cognitive robots. Thirdly, we don't just make products. Rather, we offer a technology platform that partners from all over the world can plug into. Our components and robots combined with the countless ideas and know-how from a wide range of industries - this makes many special applications possible in a very short time. We call this idea the Neuroverse.
