In a significant leap forward for the automation industry, Micropsi Industries has launched MIRAI 2, the latest iteration of its groundbreaking AI-vision software, aimed at transforming the landscape of robotic automation in manufacturing. Heralded for its innovative approach to handling the inherent variability in factory conditions—such as changes in position, shape, color, lighting, or background—MIRAI 2 sets a new standard for flexibility and efficiency in automated systems.
Speaking from their headquarters in Berlin, Germany, the company unveiled MIRAI 2 at a time when the manufacturing sector is increasingly seeking adaptable and intelligent automation solutions. The new software comes equipped with five critical enhancements designed to bolster manufacturers' ability to deploy robots for complex tasks without the burdensome need for constant recalibration.
A standout feature of MIRAI 2 is its robot skill-sharing capability, allowing for the seamless transfer of learned skills between robots across different sites. This innovation not only streamlines the implementation process but also significantly reduces the time and resources required for training new installations. "MIRAI 2 is all about scale," noted Ronnie Vuine, founder of Micropsi Industries and head of product development. "It’s MIRAI for more powerful robots, larger fleets, and tougher environments, without sacrificing simplicity."
Moreover, MIRAI 2 introduces semi-automatic data recording, diminishing the workload on operators and enhancing the quality of data collected for training purposes. The software's ability to function without a force/torque sensor is another cost-saving measure that simplifies the overall setup and use of robotic systems in manufacturing environments.
The detection of abnormal conditions and the option to run the software on industrial-grade hardware further underscore MIRAI 2's reliability and adaptability in a variety of factory settings. These features are critical for ensuring that robotic systems can maintain high levels of performance and safety, even in the face of unexpected challenges.
Gary Jackson, the newly appointed CEO of Micropsi Industries, emphasized the importance of this launch, stating, "By integrating new features and capabilities into our offerings, we can address the unique challenges faced by these industries even more effectively." He also highlighted the company's commitment to supporting complex customer projects through expert in-house teams and select system integration partners.
As the manufacturing industry continues to evolve towards greater automation and reliance on AI, MIRAI 2 represents a significant step forward. Its ability to adapt to and learn from real-world variability—not just in a lab setting—makes it a powerful tool for companies looking to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and improve the reliability of their automated systems.
