Sven Schmidt-Rohr is the CEO, Co-Founder at ArtiMinds Robotics, an industrial software DeepTech company.
Sven talks about how he always wanted to be a robotics entrepreneur and how ArtiMinds makes programming robots easier.
Like so many, Sven got interested in robotics early. He found robots exciting as they could make his programs come to life and work outside the computer. They could do so much more than just display graphics on the computer screen.
Sven also decided to become a robot entrepreneur early and worked on becoming a robotics entrepreneur from high school and through university where he met his co-founders of ArtiMinds.
Sven talks about how ArtiMinds grew out of the work he did at university and how it focuses on making it easier, faster and more intuitive to program complex robot manipulation tasks.
ArtiMinds software platform makes it easier and more intuitive to create your robotics program by dragging and dropping building blocks representing different steps needed to perform a task.
This allows you to automate tasks requiring flexibility and force control for example in industrial assembly and laboratory automation.
We also hear how ArtiMinds software makes it easier to handle assembly of flexible material and inexact parts. For instance, it can help you develop applications involving cabling and wire assembly which is usually considered to be a very difficult task for robots.
This interview was recorded in 2016.
As of 2018/05 ArtiMinds has grown to greater than 70 employees.
