Roboverse Reply, the Reply Group company specialised in
integration scenarios around robotics and the industrial metaverse,
is the winner of the AIRA Challenge (Advanced Industrial Robotic
Applications), an international competition to automate
inspection in chemical production facilities by leveraging on
robotics technology. The challenge was held during ACHEMA 2022 in
Frankfurt am Main, the world's largest trade fair for the process
industry.
The competition, launched by a consortium of five of the world's
leading chemical and pharmaceutical companies including BASF,
Bayer, Boehringer Ingelheim, Merck and Wacker, promotes the
development of new ideas and practical applications. Six teams with
five different autonomous mobile robots competed to solve recurring
tasks, such as safety tours in chemical and pharmaceutical
plants.
The tasks were to navigate autonomously through a chemical
facility, handle typical floor types of a chemical plant
environment and overcome obstacles, find and monitor a gauge and
document its reading, transport a sample while collecting data and
more. The last task was to develop a concept that enables a quick
and easy tool change on the robot to make it more flexible and
versatile.
Roboverse Reply experts developed a solution with the agile
mobile robot Spot from Boston Dynamics for these automated routine
inspections, data capture tasks and convinced the jury with
consistent, high performance and mastery of all the given
missions.
“Autonomous mobile robots like Spot are agile and offer
tremendous flexibility to automate tasks, especially in hazardous
areas. In our robotics lab we are already working on the next
generation of robotic solutions: the Real-World Metaverse provides
a common reference for AI computer vision, allowing it to
collaborate with Spatial Computing devices like AR and VR tools and
robots. This will take autonomous mobile robot navigation to the
next level” said Filippo Rizzante, CTO of Reply. “We are delighted
to have won the prestigious AIRA competition, which affirms our
leadership in implementing highly innovative robotic use
cases.”
