Hello Everyone and welcome to this edition of The Robot Industry Podcast #113 with Matt Jones from Micropsi Industries.

Matt Jones is the VP of US Sales and Operations at Micropsi Industries USA, Inc. He works out of San Francisco, California with offices and the HQ is in Berlin, Germany with an office in Brooklyn, New York.

I caught up with Matt on location at Automate Detroit show in 2023 and had a demo, and in 5 minutes, I was convinced (and I am a skeptic). So be warned, I am a fan.

Here are my questions for Matt:

Who is Micropsi and what problem are you solving?

Partners?

Applications?

Lighting?

Types of robots?

When you are not automating AI, do you have any hobbies?

How can people get a hold of you?

About Microspi:

Micropsi Industries develops software for robots. Their product, MIRAI, enables industrial robots to handle variance in production. MIRAI-powered robots use cameras and sensors to react in real time to dynamic conditions in a workspace.

With MIRAI, you can tackle not only classic tasks, like picking, but also work steps that are economically difficult to automate — placing workpieces, tracing cables or contours, joining with gripping variance, handling objects that move or deform. MIRAI also treats stray light and wear-and-tear as just another form of variance. Training efforts increase somewhat, but a robust implementation is possible.

MIRAI enables you to retrofit real AI — trained on site by your own people — into existing production setups. This is AI not in colorful management presentations, not in a laboratory, not in a tradeshow demo, but where you make your money.

Thanks for listening, and subscribing!
