?? Universal Robots Ecosystem Meets... Inbolt

Redefining the Future of Industrial Robotics ????

inbolt , a leader in artificial intelligence and vision-guided robotics, and Universal Robots , the world leader in collaborative robots, have teamed up to revolutionize industrial automation. This partnership combines cutting-edge AI and machine vision with the highly flexible cobot technology to create a solution that’s set to transform industries ranging from the automotive sector to logistics.

My colleague Krystian Michallik and I had the privilege of connecting with Albane Dersy - Co-Founder & COO of inbolt - during UR's recent Collaborate 2025 event. Check out Krystian's & Albane's interview below ??

Key Takeaways from the Video ??:

This partnership combines inbolt's AI-powered vision systems with the versatility and flexibility of Universal Robots’ cobots. Here’s how the two complement each other:

• AI-Driven Precision: inbolt's vision systems and core algorithm integration enable UR’s cobots to make intelligent, real-time decisions based on visual input. This empowers the cobot to be more capable of performing complex tasks with greater precision, even in unpredictable or highly dynamic environments.
• Seamless Adaptability: The combination of inbolt's advanced vision and UR’s flexible robots allows for seamless adaptation to different workpieces, environments, and tasks—an essential feature for all industries and applications requiring dynamic automation solutions.
• Enhanced Productivity: The integration of vision-guided robotics and collaborative robots ensures that manufacturing and production processes become more efficient, lowering costs and reducing human error, all while maintaining flexibility.
• Empowering the Workforce: With these intelligent robots in the workplace, human workers can focus on high-value tasks while robots assist with repetitive or physically demanding activities, ensuring safer, smarter, and more productive operations.

"When automating a station, you need to constrain the environment to make sure that the robot works in a repeatable manner. constraining the environment by using jigs or indexing-systems is very time consuming and very expensive..." -Albane Dersy, Co-Founder & COO inbolt

?? Why Does this Collaboration Matter? ??

inbolt specializes in developing AI-empowered vision systems that allow robots to make real-time, intelligent decisions based on dynamic, unconstrained environments. The combination of the vision technology and advanced algorithm enables industrial collaborative robots to see, understand, and interact with their surroundings, which is critical for tasks in complex or unpredictable environments. This technology is a game-changer for industries where flexibility, precision, and adaptability are paramount or unavoidable.

As a platform seeking to enable people to work with robots, not like them, Universal Robots has been at the forefront of collaborative robotics, providing flexible, easy-to-program robots that work seamlessly alongside humans. Our robots are known for their ability to increase productivity while improving safety, making automation accessible to a wider range of industries.

Together, inbolt and Universal Robots are paving the way for the next generation of intelligent automation.

"AI and vision system, especially for robot-guidance, enable robots to work efficiently in an environment that is dynamic, unplanned, unconstrained without this kind of mechanical indexing system that are traditionally required." -Albane Dersy, Co-Founder & COO inbolt

?? What’s Next? ??

The collaboration between inbolt and Universal Robots is just the beginning. The potential of AI-driven vision-guided robotics combined with the flexibility of collaborative robots is poised to reshape the way industries approach automation. By adopting and embracing these incredible innovations, manufacturers will gain access to unparalleled benefits in increased productivity, reduced downtime, and higher levels of flexibility for their operations.
