VIRAS (Visual based Intelligent Robot Automation System) develops AI-powered software solutions that give industrial robots visual understanding and spatial intelligence. The solution is applicable across industries and suitable for a wide range of applications – from production and logistics to medicine, sterile processing, and laboratories, as well as variable packaging and order picking processes. The goal is to make automation economical and practical where traditional robotics currently reaches its limits – especially with varying objects, changing positions, small batch sizes, and unstructured environments. Many industrial processes are still largely manual, not because they are inherently incapable of automation, but because existing solutions are too rigid, too complex to program, or too expensive to adapt. VIRAS addresses precisely this issue, enabling a new form of flexible, AI-based automation. The software enhances existing robot arms with AI-supported 3D image processing and intelligent gripping planning. Objects are recognized in real time, spatially located, and automatically handled with appropriate gripping and placement movements – even if they are unsorted or their position and shape change regularly. New objects and variations can be quickly taught without traditional robot programming or special mechanical solutions. This allows pick-and-place processes that previously had to be performed manually for economic or technical reasons to be automated.
