To facilitate the use of industrial robots, Inbolt equips them with sight. The Parisian start-up, which has just raised 15 million euros, is marketing a solution allowing the robot to adapt its trajectory during different operations (gripping, tightening, drilling, sanding, screwing and painting).
Significant savings in factories
The software detects precisely where the robot motor is in relation to the part. Then, it compares the video data collected, using a 3D camera positioned on the arm of the device, to the CAD model of the part recovered upstream. The trajectory is then adjusted so that the robot carries out its task in the right place. The technology has been deployed on around twenty sites, including five from Stellantis. The car manufacturer would have saved more than 3.1 million euros in the space of one year. With its fundraising, Inbolt wants to recruit 30 people by the end of 2025 and open offices in the United States and Japan.
