TergeoTechnologies

Proper urban sanitation is a costly, challenging, and labor-intensive endeavor and it is something that we face every day in Philadelphia as well as in cities all over the globe. Most large-scale automated tools for litter removal are too big to fit into pedestrian-centric areas, which means that these areas must still be cleaned by hand, increasing costs. Tergeo Tech addresses this problem by providing a semi-autonomous robot based on a modular and compartmentalized design. Our first robotic product can support litter removal by following a worker that removes litter from unreachable places that the robot then sweeps up, collects, and stores internally. Our modular design makes our robots easy to customize to fit various additional scenarios and customer needs with minimal changes in a cost-effective manner. This allows existing work forces to be more effective for minimal increases in operating costs.

Southie Autonomy

Focus: Hardware or Software, Software. While robotics is a highly integrated hardware and software system, Southie focuses on the software side of robots as this is where the bulk of the adoption gaps can be solved. Today’s hardware is highly optimized and robust, but it requires so much NRE to get working. So, Southie aims to reduce the complexity and skill required to deploy and changeover robots, creating a new way to see ROI on robots. A multi-purpose, no-code robotic system that line operators can use and reuse. included every autonomous system you could think of, from underwater robots to aerial drones to joint R&D with MIT and Harvard to advance autonomous mobile manipulation. As engineers we built autonomous systems that would satisfy the user’s mission and the user knew what they wanted the system to do, but there was a disconnect in how the user directed and understood what the system was doing. Basically, there was a fundamental gap that we later learned was an adoption gap between user and robotic system.It turns out that you can use that same exact lens to look at the industrial robotics sector and you’ll find the same exact problem. There is a huge gap between the people who want to use robots (e.g. warehouse workers and operators) and who can actually deploy robotic systems (e.g. automation engineers). So, Southie has created a new way for humans and robots to talk to other (i.e. at the task level instead of instructions). The result is we’ve bridged the gap by letting operations users task robots at the operational level, instead of at the engineering level.

Rhoman Aerospace

Rhoman Aerospace is combining cutting edge control systems, environmental mapping data-share, and machine-learning tuning to create the autonomous aerial infrastructure needed for our future cities – not to mention making every US drone safer and more power efficient during flight.

We are developing one flight control software solution that applies to every drone – and connects to the Rhoman Cloud for enhanced optimization and autonomy. Our solution allows more energy-efficient flight, enables capabilities and missions not possible with current control systems, and reduces months of custom engineering and tuning to days. By combining machine learning with analytically solved control equations, we create a dynamic control solution that removes software, flight control, and regulatory barriers to enable the next frontier of drone aviation.

idealworks GmbH

As a deep-tech company and 100% BMW Group subsidiary, idealworks has been enabling the logistics of the future by providing the most flexible and scalable robotics ecosystem since November 2020. Having come about as a result of a forward-thinking planning condition within the BMW Group’s Logistics department back in 2015, our company combines numerous years of valuable experience and expertise in the field of smart, reliable intralogistics solutions. When BMW Group was awarded the German Logistics Award 2019 for its project Logistics Next, which included one of our core products, we saw a huge boost in terms of autonomous robots with national and international companies from all kinds of different industries and branches showing interest in exploring our solutions built for both the challenging environment and limitations of automotive logistics to meet common needs and to squeeze out greater efficiency.
At idealworks, we enable holistic robotics ecosystems, consisting of two key components: Our central cloud platform AnyFleet is connecting our fleet of robots and third-party devices as well as computer systems and IoT devices such as doors, sensors, and traffic lights, but also WMS and ERP systems.

Energy Robotics

The concept behind Energy Robotics started at the Technical University of Darmstadt with “Team Hector”. There, we won numerous awards for our pioneering work in the field of autonomous inspection robots. In 2017, our team decisively won the international ARGOS Challenge organized by the French Oil and Gas giant, Total. This was the first-ever recognized prototype of an autonomous ground robot capable of carrying out complex remote inspections and monitoring missions aboard oil and gas platforms. We were showered with glowing words of praise from all quarters for showcasing the potential of Germany in being the centre of AI and Robotics.

Our success at the ARGOS Challenge sparked the idea of creating a business out of our software. It laid the foundations for the successful application of robot software for industrial inspections.
