The previous ABB challenge resulted in the acquisition of Sevensense, developer of AI-enabled 3D vision navigation technology for autonomous mobile robots. The new call for Robotics AI Startup Challenge presents startups with the opportunity to collaborate with ABB to accelerate the development of artificial intelligence systems in robotics.
Besides the collaboration opportunity, the program gives participants the opportunity to access cutting-edge robotics technologies and tap into the company’s global network of customers and partners. The winning team will earn a cash prize of $30,000 and a chance to establish a long-term partnership with ABB to explore joint go-to-market strategies and investment opportunities.
The challenge focuses on three areas: Prompt-based Natural Language Programming, skill learning & Acquisition, and planning & decision-making.
The ideal candidates are top-tier startups and scale-ups offering innovative cutting-edge AI technologies and solutions that can be seamlessly integrated with existing robotic systems, enhancing ease of use, flexibility, and efficiency across various industries. The focus must be on practical, real-life industrial applications that demonstrate the immense potential of AI in revolutionizing the field of robotics.
The deadline expires on June 12, 2024.
