Problem statement

The solution tackles the challenge of programming and coordinating a mobile base and an industrial robot to automate the loading and unloading of a vertical storage system. Traditional methods require expert knowledge and complex coding, especially when synchronizing mobile platforms with manipulators working at variable heights and positions. We address this by enabling intuitive, visual programming of both the mobile base and the robot arm, significantly reducing engineering effort and improving flexibility in deploying such automation in dynamic environments.

Main outcome

The solution introduces an advanced software platform that enables intuitive programming and coordination of both a mobile robotic base and a stationary robot for automated interaction with a vertical storage system. Technological innovation lies in the ability to program complex, synchronized tasks involving mobile manipulation through an intuitive, no-code interface. Users can define behaviors and workflows visually, without writing a single line of code, making robotic automation accessible to operators without technical backgrounds.

The system integrates spatial reasoning, task-level abstraction, and the ability to dynamically adapt to variable layouts and object positions. This allows for rapid deployment, reprogramming, and reconfiguration of robotic work cells in logistics and manufacturing.
The solution is designed for seamless integration into existing manufacturing environments, with a focus on modularity, interoperability, and minimal setup effort. It supports standard industrial communication protocols (e.g., OPC UA, MQTT, Modbus), enabling straightforward integration with MES, WMS, PLCs, and existing automation infrastructure. The software platform is hardware-agnostic, allowing it to interface with a wide range of robots, mobile bases, and peripheral devices, ensuring compatibility with the equipment already deployed on the shop floor. Integration is further simplified by the system’s intuitive interface and Learning from Demonstration (LfD) approach, which allows operators to configure tasks through guided interactions rather than writing code. This reduces the need for long integration cycles and specialized programming, enabling fast deployment and reconfiguration. In terms of customization, the solution is fully adaptable to specific manufacturing requirements. Users can define task sequences, object types, workspace constraints, and storage configurations through parameterization and visual workflows.
From a business perspective, the solution will be commercialized through a hybrid licensing model: a one-time license fee for the core software, combined with an annual subscription that provides access to updates, support, and feature enhancements. This model ensures long-term sustainability while enabling customers to benefit from continuous improvements and maintain system performance over time.
